Finally back. When I get sick I tend to get REALLY sick. My flu turned into severe dehydration and a sinus infection. Not fun. I'm over it now as far as I can tell, but I'm still pretty exhausted. This strip ended up taking twice as long as usual to finish. Hopefully the next one will go faster!
2024-03-19 07:20:07 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone. Last Monday I told you I'd be taking a week off for a short trip. My plan was to go out of town with my brother for his bachelor party. Unfortunately, I ended up getting sick before we left and spent the next 8 days home sick (and not very lucid). I'm FINALLY feeling well enough to come back to work today, although I'm still pretty exhausted and I'm coughing up some really gross stuff. I'll be easing back into work over the next few days, but I'm hoping to have a new strip ...

What I have for you today is Modest as Rogue from the X-Men. This is the newest sticker for Patreon backers.
Hi everyone. I'm taking this week off for a short trip. I'll be back this coming Monday.

The mysterious Princess of Yeld gets her own sticker! What is she up to, anyway?
I'll be revealing March's sticker next week, and shipping new stickers out toward teh end of next month! Thanks for your patience!
I love canned foods. I hated them when I was a kid. But now I'll go to farmer's markets and weird shops and pick out pickled eggs and beat spread and kimchi and sauerkraut and unidentifiable fish.

I thought it would be neat if Ms. Buttons also obviously has some badger heritage. Not a full badger head like her husband, but a clear sign that there's a badger in her family. I imagine for them it was love at first sight.

Tomorrow is the last day for the new Yeld Kickstarter. If you haven't checked it out yet, I'd really appreciate your support!
Hi everyone! For some reason this month a lot of Patreon pledges are declining. I'm not sure what the issue is, but you may want to double check to see if your payments are going through (not just to me).

I'm finally back! The storm and ice we had here in Portland left me trapped at home for most of the last week. Thankfully it seems to be over, and I'm back at work today. I'm eager to get back to the story!
If you haven't had a chance, please check out my Kickstarter for the new edition of the Yeld TTRPG. This is a huge 350 page full color hardcover book featuring ...
2024-01-22 09:43:05 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone. I'm sure you noticed there was no Monday MM update. There won't be one today either. This week Portland was hit with a pretty bad storm. The city is covered n ice, and its made it very difficult to get around. In fact, even getting down our front steps had been really difficult. In our yard and neighborhood the ice ice is extremely thick and slippery.
There was a break in the freezing rain yesterday and I managed to get to the studio. I don't have a car, but the buses wer...
Hi everyone! The Kickstarter for the 2nd edition of my TTRPG The Magical Land of Yeld is now live. I hope you'll check it out! The book will contain tons of art and an extensive lore section about Yeld and the people who live there, so even if you aren't a gamer you may still like it! 2024-01-12 08:30:36 +0000 UTC View Post
- Hi everyone! I had a nice little break over the holidays, and I'm happy to be back to this story. I hope you had a nice few weeks too.
- Marah HAS seen a Toothfacer before, but never up close. Like a lot of things she's seen in Yeld, she really has no idea what they are.
I want to remind you all that the Kickstarter for the new edition of the Yeld TTTRP is launching next wee...

Happy Holidays, everyone! Please have a warm and safe weekend and a peaceful end of the year.
I'll be taking the rest of the year off, so there won't be any updates next week. I'll be back on the 1st of the New Year.

Okay, so the joke here is that since the beginning a lot of readers have struggled with Marah's name (this is separate from the readers who think Marah and Charles are the same character). You only have to go through the comments to see it. People will constantly refer to her as Maria or Maia or Mary. Once at a convention someone asked me to draw a sketch of "Marsh". Not Martha. Marsh.
