My car tells me that it’s 37 degrees Celsius outside. In Fahrenheit that roughly works out to be TOO %#£*ING HOT!

I’m in early and set up for SCAMP (Sydney Comics Art Market Place) at Petersham Town Hall. Come on down and see some great independent comics work!

Using one of your comic panels, show us where you are mentally.

Hey, you! This is a literal (and ham fisted) call to action! Our Kickstarter has 49 backers, only 5 hours to go, and is so close to a stretch goal! Who is going to be backer 50? It could be you!

If you haven’t checked it out yet, have a look at Kongutan Vs Kraken. It’s written by yours truly, with art by Mitch Collins, and lettering by Wolfgang Bylsma. Here’s a gorgeous alt cover by @jakebartok.bsky.social

We are at $997 Dollary-doos if you're old enough for the Simpsons. $997 Dollarbucks if Bluey is more your speed. Either way, who wants to be the one to help us crack a grand on this epic-fight, 22-page, one-shot, overly-hyphenated comic? Kongutan Vs Kraken!

If you’re on the fence about backing Kongutan Vs Kraken, consider an alternative cover. We have an ominous atmospheric choice from @jakebartok.bsky.social and, let’s just say “compellingly prominent ape nipple” from Dean Rankine! Of course both still have the gorgeous Mitch Collins interior art.

Same energy.

Finally getting to see the new Indiana Jones! Finally!

Moe: Ooooh la-di da. Mr French Man. Trousers of the wind.
Homer: Well what do you call them?
Moe: Lazy Sunday fart pants.

So here's my thesis for this book: comics can sometimes just be fun! And Mitch Collins had a lot of fun with this book.
