Hello Everyone!

We've finished packing all of the copies of Smut that we can (again, some of you still need to fill out your surveys), and are taking them to the post office today! Thank you all so much for your support, working on this comic has been a joy in a turbulent time and I'm almost sad to see that it's over.

This book was the reason I was able to quit my (extremely miserable) job as a bartender and devote myself fulltime to comics and I hope that we can continue to build on that success. Thank you for being a part of this legitimately life changing book!

If you haven't gotten your book yet, it's probably in this outgoing batch, but keep an eye out. If you don't wind up getting it or something in your order is missing, TELL US ABOUT IT so we can fix it! We want you to have the things you paid for.

Love is Simple

Okay, I've been banging on about this for a while, but we're 90% funded and, if you like Smut, this is the next thing that we're doing. Give it a look, we'd love to have you there! Click here and all that!

Shipping Update!
about 2 months ago – Tue, Apr 21, 2026 at 10:22:04 AM

Hello Everyone!

I just dropped off our second batch of packages at the post office, which puts us at about 3/4 of the way through our total. Basically, most of you have packages on the way!

The last quarter are the more complicated, heavier, and more involved packages that may take a touch longer to get out, but we should be able to get everything knocked out by at least next week. If you haven't gotten an email saying your package is on the way, hold tight, it'll be there soon.

I just want to say thanks to everyone for being patient and I can't wait to hear what you think of the full story! The whole team really appreciates the amount of trust you put in us to make this a reality.

In other News...

We just launched Love is Simple! It's only been a day, but we're over 60% funded (on a pretty high goal), unlocked the "Project We Love" badge, and we're looking to clear our initial goal soon and start working on stretch goals ASAP! We'd love for you to join us and help make this our biggest series ever! Click here to back the project!

Hello Everyone!

This past Thursday, we picked up Smut Vol. 1 from the shipping docks and they look INCREDIBLE! We then promptly drove to Kalamazoo for one of our best convention showings ever, so needless to say, we're pretty excited about what's happening this year.

Starting this week, we're going to be organizing, packing, and shipping your copies of Smut Vol. 1. If you've been with us in the past, you might expect that they'll all be in the mail by the end of the week, but after an exhausting schedule of conventions and our upcoming launch for our new series, Love is Simple (more on that in a second), we're taking this one a tiny bit slower.

Don't worry, they'll still all be out before the end of April, we've just got too much to do to commit 8 hours a day to packing up books at the moment! We're really excited to get this in your hands, though, and even more excited to hear what you think about the completed story!

Also, just to make sure this isn't unsaid, we have been in contact with Paree recently and, for the moment, she is relatively safe. She was very touched to hear about all the support from this community and understanding that she wouldn't be able to deliver with everything going on in her home and country. She's also doing her best to stay sane and keep going day to day, it's an incredibly stressful situation and we're all doing everything we can to support her through this indescribably difficult time. In her own words, "It's so good to hear from you...I can't wait to start drawing comics again."

Love is Simple!

We're launching our follow up to Smut in one week and we're on the verge of achieving something really cool! We've never hit 400 prelaunch backers before, but we're already over 350 and only need a tiny push to get us over the edge. Thank you all so much for being the base of support for this new book, we came to you first to hit our prelaunch goals and you knocked it out of the park!

If you haven't followed the project yet, we'd really appreciate it! We're launching next Monday and Early Bird rewards last until Wedneday (or when we run out, which seems more likely at the moment). Maybe we can do something special if we hit 400!

Thanks for all your support,

Digital copies sent and books are at the printer!

Hello Everyone!

We just sent out the digital copy of Smut Vol. 1! Wooo!

You may have noticed that you got 2 different notifications for the download, that's because we caught an error with the design/lettering on two pages (shout out to Sylvie for catching that) and we needed to correct it.

We submitted the books to the printer on Friday and they are working with us to get it out sooner rather than later, so hopefully we'll be able to start shipping out books by mid-April! That also means that we are locking down addresses, so if you moved recently, make sure that you're up to date.

Moreover, if you haven't gotten a notification for the digital distribution or address lockdown, you either need to check your spam/updates folder, or you still need to fill out your survey! Get that taken care of so you can get your rewards on time!

More news coming soon, I just got the most gorgeous cover I've ever seen for our upcoming series that's a spiritual sequel to this book, so you better believe I'll be sharing that soon! Until then, we've got 3 days left on our first campaign of the year and we'd appreciate it if you'd check it out!
