October Blog! :)

Hello Hello, everyone! I wanted to make a blog post last week, but decided to wait until today so that it was at the beginning of the month. A couple things this time!

First - I've ordered the inventory for my new book "The Scenic Route", which is a book of practically ALL my doodles from 2020 through (summer) 2024. It's got over 600 drawings in it! And I plan on selling them sometime towards the middle-end of this month in a new online shop. (They are estimated to ship and arrive around the 8th) Along with this book, I'll be selling Volume 1 and 2 of TLLT, so if you missed the kickstarters, you'll have your chance to get those too! (while supplies lasts hehe)

Next - This is specifically for my 10$ pledges. I wanted to let you know that I am behind on shipping post cards for last month (I'm sorry, I've been surprisingly busy ugh). I will either get these out in the mail tomorrow (if I can manage to finish my TLLT update today) or I will wait another couple weeks and double up lasts month's, with this month's mail.

In addition to this, something I'd like to announce before we get too close to the end of the year, is that I'm planning to STOP sending physical mail after 2024. There's a couple reasons why I'm doing this. 1) MOST of my new 10$ pledges don't opt in for the physical mail anyway. 2) it's a time consuming chore for me to print/sign/and fill out envelopes every month. 3) printing supplies and postage prices have gone up considerably in the last couple years. I've never raised the price of my tiers, so I'm actually making a good percentage less now, than I was before... (Thanks inflation - _- )

I'm undecided on if I want to keep the 10$ pledge the same or lower it just a little bit. I could either drop it to an 8$ monthly tier, or I could keep it at the 10$ and maybe offer something extra (digitally) with the regular monthly illustration. Not sure yet! If you 10$ pledges have any input on this let me know!

Last - I've been slowly trying to draw panels for my next comic "Fine By Me". And by slowly I mean... I cranked out 60 (sketched) panels in about 2 weeks, only then for Rowdy and I to review it and change things drastically LOL. Of those 60 panels I think I'll end up using a handful for the revision... and that's okay. That's why I'm doing this NOW and now rushed at the end of TLLT lol. But either way, once I get the first "official" update sketched and reviewed I will give you guys the 1st version that got scrapped, because I think you'll enjoy it anyway, and you can compare it to the revision when the time comes lol.

Now that it's October... I promised myself I would start formatting TLLT: Volume 3. This is a task I'm not mentally prepared for lol. But buckle up, I guess. We're going to the rodeo!

As always, hope you guys are doing well. Thank you sooo soo much for all the support. And if you have any questions let me know!
