If I can sell one more of these we can meet the KRULL poster goal and move on to the next goal (which is to make more POND SCUM)!

Speaking of pond scum, here is a different Luna, and I gotta say she's pretty cool too! OC commission from this morning.

A four panel comic titled, “Submissions.” A small red robot sits at a laptop in all four panels. In the first panel, he says, “formatted correctly… check! Name removed… check!” In the second panel, he says, “submitted during a one hour period in the middle of the night… check!” In the third panel, he says, “hmm… proof of belonging to a dark literary cult. Where did I put that?” In the fourth panel, he says, “wait… submission fee!? $#@! Never mind!”

this is a comic about submission fees

POND SCUM cover! For fans of TMNT, Streets of Rage, and that general sort of thing!

An 8 page teaser for POND SCUM is available now!

A Toad and a Moth from rival gangs are forced to team up when they both get sold out to the cops!

You can download it for free, but tips are massively appreciated and will help fund the full comic!

“One of our very good friends – he now does not have the emotional courage to hang up a sheet to collect moths at night

It is too devastating to see how few there are”
