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.

  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.

542 – Catching Up

Promotional consideration…

I am not what one might call a “tireless promoter.” In fact, I don’t think “tireless” has ever been an adjective that could be applied my way. I can’t even game into the wee hours the way I used to in my youth, much less do things I’m less comfortable with like networking and getting this comic seen and heard. I also have the hang up that if I should be putting any energy into this project it should be towards the creative side, especially in the current era where we’ve scaled back on production, as it were. The spoons, you know? And I think, how would I feel if I was in the shoes of a fan eagerly craving the next installment but instead of that they get what basically amounts to advertising? Thankfully Dawn isn’t overthinking like this and has taken over using social media to tell folk that she has, for example, made Zombie Ranch sticker sheets and they are available for purchase. Or remind people of the trade paperback and various other merch we’ve made over the years, or promote her Patreon which covers not only the comic but her artistic efforts overall. As part of the site overhaul she’s re-coding and consolidating how the store interface works, all in a bid to get her/our brand some more recognition. She intended to do so before we started having crisis after crisis hit us these past few years and so this is part of her process for ramping back up again, and hopefully ultimately going beyond. She would love nothing better than to Art for a living, you see, but such is a long and arduous process and she isn’t a natural promoter either. So rather than considering her efforts cringe (as the kids these days say) I am appreciative of them, knowing how much it’s outside her comfort zone but yet crucial in the long run. Considerably so.
