German publisher Reprodukt is bringing a German translation of the first Margo book, out this October 10th! There’s an 8-page preview up at their site now if you’re curious. This release will be in the large album-format size similar to the French edition (think old-school Tintin or Asterix). They’re taking pre-orders now, so go ahead and get your order in!
If you were curious to see the full file on Kappas, or what the black and white monster movie Charles was watching with his family looked like in full color, I just threw some cut content from this last chapter of Margo Maloo on Patreon. Check it out!
As you may have noticed up in the top banner, I’ve added some new sections to the site:
1.) An About/Character page, so that a new reader can quickly jump on board and find out what’s going on and who all these people/monsters are!
2.) A Contact/FAQ page, where you can get in touch with me through various means, and questions that are (somewhat) frequently asked are answered!
Therefore! If you have any characters you think I’m overlooking and deserve a spot on the Dramatis Personae, let me know in the comments below! And if you have any questions of the Frequently Asked variety, ditto!
Margo’s interrupted night marks the end of Chapter 7. And that’ll be the first chapter of Margo book 3! You probably don’t need the reminder, but if you’d like copies of the first two, you can click here or ask at your favorite local indie store!
I was trying to avoid it, but there’ll be a short hiatus before the next chapter starts. A bunch of life stuff – good and bad – has cropped up over the last few months. Hopefully the break’ll be no more than a few weeks! Since getting updates through social media can be a little unreliable, and hardly anybody uses RSS feeds anymore, I set up a quick mailing list if you want to get updated when Margo starts updating again. I’ll be sending out the occasional fun update with news from the world of Margo Maloo – but don’t worry, I’m not going to abuse your inbox. Sign up for it here or right below:
For Patreon backers only – I talked about making webcomics for kids, with cartoonist Alec Longstreth, on his Isle of Elsi podcast! His backers got to hear it, and now you do too!
Alec’s ongoing patron-backed comic, The Isle of Elsi, is a very charming webcomic for kids, packed with wordplay. Â We talked about making webcomics, comics for kids, and how we got into this whole crazy business. The other episodes are up on Alec’s Patreon, but he let me post this one up for my backers too! Take a listen!
Even though I meant to get this up earlier, now’s a good time too, since Alec just launched a Kickstarter for an Isle of Elsi book! You can find links to that, and read the whole comic for free here, http://www.isleofelsi.com
