UPDATING OCCASIONALLY (FOR NOW)

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

    1. 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. 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.

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

  2. 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. 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. 😉

  4. Dr. Norman (not a real doctor)

    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.

  5. Partners in crime! 😈

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

542 – Catching Up

Sometimes things work out…

We already mentioned it on the comic blog for this week but I know there’s a few of you out there who only mosey by to see what’s spilled out of my brain here week-to-week, so I’ll reiterate: we’re headed back to San Diego Comic-Con’s Small Press Pavilion for 2017! Now it’s true, we’ve managed to get in twice before in the last six years or so of diligently applying, but in both those cases we didn’t make the first selection cut, instead getting the opportunity to sub in because someone else had to cancel. This year marks our first occasion of outright approval, and that’s not only one heck of a nice feeling, it also solves a big looming problem we were going to have to deal with because our usual hotel was undergoing renovations next year and was going to be unable to accommodate us. We always expected that might happen sooner or later because every year was a special favor from the manager to rent us one of their few rooms that was available outside the Comic-Con hotel block. We paid through the nose for it, naturally, but the peace of mind always felt worth it. In 2017 though they’d have nothing to spare, so while I thanked the manager for her early warning (and her bringing up that hopefully in 2018 they could help us out again) we were going to be in the regular scrum for 2017, a scrum which we’d dipped our foot into this year just out of curiosity and learned that the “downtown” hotels go bye-bye within less than three minutes of reservations opening. Seriously, for people that qualify for pro status it’s not the tickets that are the problem these years, it’s finding somewhere to stay. But that’s the general scrum. There’s an earlier hotel scrum that occurs that’s only open to Exhibitors for the show, which makes sense when you consider they’re the people with the most stuff to lug and also the ones providing most of the products and entertainment. The problem with getting called up off the wait list is that both times we were, that scrum was long over. Fortunately, as noted above we had alternate arrangements in place. Those arrangements went belly up for 2017, but by timely chance, or maybe us getting better, or just sheer dogged persistence, our first-round approval means that we might be able to snag our favored hotel regardless… and at a much lower rate! It might be premature to be excited about this, but I have a good feeling. We’ll see how it goes.
