UPDATING OCCASIONALLY (FOR NOW)

    Some friction, but yeah. IRL, I’d like these two…they should have kids. 😉

    1. Dawn

      I might have to draw out what their kid would look like. First thought is that their kid would look like Ongo Gablogian from “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia”

    2. Scarsdale

      He’s pushing 60, she’s maybe 30, more likely less. Chuck is most likely shooting blanks, and besides, he’s talking to her like a baby sister than a love interest.

        Up in these hills, sometimes family is all y’gots. 😉

    It is really hard to have a favorite character, as there are so many good ones. But I think Rosa is my favorite. Chuck is a good accomplice in sneaking work, but not much for romance. Uugh.

  3. Otaku

    I mean, if they don’t have at least an inkling of what’s going down, I’m actually disappointed in Clearstream. If anything, I’m starting to wonder if they caught on and realized “Wait, we can use this.”

    Because of course they can. 😉

    I’m way ahead of you – I’ve been waiting for you to catch up. From November 2020:
    I would hope for nothing less – her and Chuck have the potential for a great deal of positive mischief.
    Speaking of which, I received the email notifying me that my order for the NSFW “Chuck and Rosa Finally Do It” (age verification required) limited edition hardcover is going to be delayed due to the pandemic. I think it’s really cool that you’ll be adding some additional stretch goal goodies when it ships – thanks for all your story and art.
    As for the inscription, ” We owe it all to you ” will be sufficient.

    Partners in crime! 😈

    A crime so perfect she went full on wall-eye!

542 – Catching Up
Posted on April 9, 2025 by Dawn

All systems nominal… shutting down…

Posted on July 26, 2017 by Clint
One of our aisle neighbors at San Diego Comic-Con this week said he was doing forty conventions this year. Man. I don’t know if I could have managed that in my twenties, much less now. I suppose it’s something you just get used to, the way people gradually work up their altitude tolerance over a period of months before they attempt the summit of Mt. Everest. True, Dawn and I have been exhibiting now at various shows for almost eight years, but I think the most we’ve done in a year is… six? And the farthest we’ve traveled is Seattle, and after a couple experimental years of that we had to scale back to local shows. Not exactly an intense training regimen, and this year we skipped out on Free Comic Book Day so hadn’t really done the public appearance thing since WonderCon. Therefore, despite the logistics of our SDCC outing going pretty much flawlessly, we still came back exhausted, which is hopefully just a matter of tired and sore rather than any inklings of dreaded “con crud.” We had an economy-sized bottle of hand sanitizer at the booth for the express purpose of trying to avoid such, after all. Dawn’s still having her chronic hip issues and I have my foot problems, but nowhere near what we were dealing with last year. Also with far greater prep time and a full exhibitor hotel discount we were able to add an extra day on both ends in order to space out the physical strain. I can’t begin to tell you how nice it was to be able to check out on Monday and thus on Sunday only have to worry about packing up our merch and display whilst looking forwards to a night’s sleep before driving home. Meanwhile we took advantage of SDCC’s free Materials Handling Assistance Program for the second year in a row, and if anything it was an even better experience. Heck there wasn’t even as much swearing and smoking this year and the Freeman staff handling the freight was constantly checking in to make sure everything was being handled speedily and efficiently. I don’t know if that was fallout from the Mile High Comics kerfuffle a couple weeks ago claiming massive incompetence, but this year for both arrival and departure they had us processed and on our way in under an hour. Having our exhibitor badges mailed out to us beforehand also made a big difference as there was no need to find parking and sort that first. So yeah, I could go on and on about details but the tl;dr of it is that things went about as smoothly or even more smoothly than I could have hoped, and yet here we are recovering regardless. I suppose five straight days of exhibiting, three of which are basically 10 hour shifts, will do that to ya no matter how well things work out for the beginning and end. All I can say is I’m glad we have nothing but a blog and cover to do this week, and next week isn’t another convention. Just the start of Episode 15, which we can thankfully, literally, just work on from home. On to Episode 15!
