I was hoping to have the cover presented today, but the original sketch underwent many changes so I’m providing you these instead.
First we have a van. This van plays an integral part in the new story, which I hope to have rolled out very very VERY soon.
The next three images were results from a tweet I made one day. I asked for an animal, a verb and an inanimate object. I got raccoon, dig and trashcan. Then squirrel, splash, rocket. Lastly golf ball, run and llama. I never said HOW I was going to put these words together. I just let my brain be creative.
(I like the llama best.)
So STAY TUNED! The comic will be back in progress much sooner than I think!

I estimate in the next 2 weeks I’ll be posting to begin pre-orders of Taka’s book. It’s going to be a trade paperback, manga sized. There will be a color cover and all the inside pages will be full color. The book will be at least 78 pages. The cost will be $9.99.
I will likely be adding an artist’s version as I did for Issue #2 & #3 of Kit’s Story. It will have a sketch of a Ginpu character on inside front cover (your choice) and front cover signed & dated. I may include a little something extra, as soon as I can figure out what that might be. The cost for this will be between $17 & $20. (+shipping & handling)
I should also be offering up digital versions of the book, which will be handled by IndyPlanet, cost will likely be around $3.99.
I’m still looking to see if anyone has some fan art they’d like to submit to be printed in the books. Also I am looking to see if anyone has any reader’s comments they’d like added. I have a few pieces of both, but am always looking for more to add. :3
The pages and cover are nearly finished. I apologize for the delay in everything but life happens sometimes. LOL I do hope we will have some of the new story scripted & drawn in time for the new year. Once the comic begins again, updates will resume to once a week.
One last thing to note, all of Kit’s books should be available digitally soon. I also may be combining the 3 into one magazine sized trade paperback. The cost is probably going to be around $10. There will be no special editions for this one though. This is something I’ve been wanting to offer for some time now. I know how confusing it Kit’s story can be, but I feel putting it all together in one place like this really helps for it to make a lot more sense.
Back to working on comics and art!

The bonus pages for Taka’s book are coming along well. Shading and some additional details is all that is left on the artwork side of things. Then the dialong needs to be added.
Oh and the cover needs to be finished. We are probably adding another 4, yes 4 pages of extra content to the book. So it will have 12 bonus pages and 64 story pages. That’s… 78 pages! Wow!!!
The 12 bonus pages would consist of the 8 bonus pages, an explanation of them so y’all aren’t lost with it. Leaving 3 pages for fan, comments and w/e else we can think of. Plus there is still the inside back and outside back cover open for stuff… not sure what. XD
Also looking for ideas regarding items to give should I offer up pre-orders of the book.
