Thanks again to everyone who supported the Kickstarter Campaign to bring DRINK WATER! Vol. 1 to print! All of the rewards have now shipped! So if you haven’t received yours yet, please let me know. There are a limited number of copies of Vol. 1 still available through the webcomic shop, as well as a second printing of issues 5 & 6, for those who may have missed them the first time around. Thanks also for the support and patience getting throughout this process! I learned a lot, and made some mistakes, but feel better prepared for Vol. 2. Coming someday soon-ish! Stay hydrated out there!

Ahoy Reader!

Thanks again to everyone who supported the Kickstarter Campaign! The books have arrived and shipping has begun. Apologies again for all the delays, everything takes longer than you’d think, but roughly half of the orders have shipped so far and the rest will go out over the next week. I ordered a few extra copies of the book and mini comics, which will become available once all of the rewards have shipped. Limited supply, but there will be some additional copies available soon.

So thanks again for your patience, keep an eye on the mailbox, and stay hydrated out there! Yar!

DRINK WATER! Vol. 1: Proof Approved

Thanks again to everyone who supported the print edition of DRINK WATER! Vol. 1! Final Proof has been approved, and books are off to the printer. Should be here within a few weeks.

The proof process went a bit longer than anticipated, my apologies for the delay. The final proof was approved on 3/14, Pi day! (which seems appropriate for a 360 page book about a circular city). During this process, I adjusted some of the pages for gutter loss, added a protective coating to the holo-chrome cover, and printed both 60# and 70# interior pages to compare.

My expectations on the timeline may have been a bit overly optimistic, but we’re getting close now! Looking forward to getting these out into the world, and going back to drawing Vol. 2! Thanks again to everyone for your support and patience throughout this process, and stay hydrated out there!

DRINK WATER! Vol 1: First Proof

Ahoy Reader! Happy New Year!

Thanks to everyone who supported the Kickstarter last year! The first proof of DRINK WATER! Vol. 1 has arrived and it looks GREAT! There are a few adjustments to be made, so I will be ordering a second proof before going to print which may delay the delivery date. Still hoping to ship sometime in February, but stay tuned for updates. I’d prefer to get it right then get it fast, but either way they should be out by Spring.

The stickers and other extras are already here, and I’ve made a lot of progress on the custom sketches. So once the books are ready, they can be signed, wrapped, and shipped out the door. I’ll post updates here and on the Kickstarter page as we make progress throughout this process.

On a somewhat unrelated note… my Facebook and Instagram accounts were hacked and suspended back in November by Meta, so I no longer have accounts on those social media platforms. The DRINK WATER! FB & IG pages are still up but I can’t access them. They are currently adrift without an administrator. I have written to Meta multiple times, but have received no response. I suspect the company may be run entirely by bots now. I may eventually start new social media pages, but for now my focus is on the printed book and fulfilling the Kickstarter rewards. So 2024 is back to the real world.

Thanks again for checking in, and for all of your support along the way. There are new episodes coming soon, once the books have shipped and the rewards fulfilled. The drawing board has been busy lately!

Stay tuned, and stay hydrated out there! Yarr!
