Cheapjack Gentlemen is a horror-comedy webcomic set in the Victorian era.
A crafty quack doctor and a somber undertaker become partners in crime, selling cadavers to a dubious medical school - however, personal differences create issues in their business.

If you are feeling sensitive and Misunderstood about your Art, consider the reviews Mary Shelley got for inventing the science fiction genre:
![[From a Monthly Review article on Shelley's "The Last Man:"]
"The utmost efforts of thought are absolutely childish, when they seek to fathom the abyss of ruin, to number the accumulation of disasters, to paint the dreadful confusion, which await that final scene [of humanity's extinction]. Every writer who has hitherto ventured on the theme, has fallen infinitely beneath it. Mrs. Shelley, in following their example, has merely made herself ridiculous... The whole appears to us to be the offspring of a diseased imagination, and of a most polluted taste."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bxyrx3gczu2brhp7q5y7gtio/bafkreifebkvmbd5v77rbz3seuel5xobzvt6zaoykecqt6sbg6tnkckfk3u@jpeg)

I enjoy opening bluesky and seeing a bunch of WT criticism. I will continue to urge creators to go at their own pace. You do not have to make 60 fully rendered panels a week. You do not have to update weekly for free.

One thing I deeply regret about my comic is releasing it on January 20th instead of January 28th.
January 28th was when William Burke was hanged, curse my impatience. It's fine!

I feel like we need to create a paradigm to combat this
I think we all need to start using more hashtags, we have to tag our work like we do on Instagram/tumblr so it becomes easier to index
This'll only work if we all do it together, more people will join in.
Artists: please hashtag your art🙏🙏

It seems like traffic on art has dropped significantly in the last 2 months not just on my art, but other artists. I wish I wasn't that type of person, but I'm pretty demotivated to post online at this point and constantly fight to get 30-40 likes on my own OC art in very mentally exhausting.

Slowly working on coloring a few more pages of the Cheapjack Gentlemen intro for pitch purposes. I wanted to have the introduction of these two in there also.
Still needs rendering, but it's getting there.

Sometimes I have to remind myself that Cheapjack Gentlemen isn't my first comic, it's just the only one that ever managed to gain a semblance of traction and make it past the first chapter.
I have a handful of minicomics and abandoned longform comics from the past 20 years that I forget about.

Two in specific for Cheapjack Gentlemen -- this doesn't necessarily mean things will end well canonically, though!

Slowly entering the acceptance phase of the idea that financial stability is never going to come from making my comic, but from getting people invested enough that they want sexy pinups of the cast on Patreon. 😔

I changed my comic because of this.
Platforms like Webtoon have perpetuated this kind of audience expectation.
Never feel like you have to color your comic. More color/rendering/details doesn't necessarily make something better. Often times it's too much.

I'm finding as the years go on with me making comics that are primarily black and white, I am getting more readers commenting on 'why it's not in colour' and many others not reading because there isnt colour to begin with... that sure does stink!

Some earlier young Edmund & Abigail designs (2020) vs. their appearance in the comic!
I think everyone has an idea about what their relationship was at this point...

I'm pretty fond of the title itself.
The phrase "cheapjack gentleman" really clicked when I read it in a Victorian slang dictionary. It's an oxymoron that describes the protagonists perfectly - pretending to be honorable with shady business.
It's also a very unique phrase.
