New Comic, Threadless and other News

Here I am with a new comic. But also some News on different topics.

The perfidious thing about whaling is the fact that whales take years to reach sexual maturity and reproduce slowly. Even worse is that the weapons for whaling are not necessarily designed for a quick death, it is assumed that the shot whales fight for several minutes for their lives and find a slow, painful death. The more I researched whaling, the angrier I became. That's why I chose this comic over the other works in...

The (difficult) decision has been made once more!

Another year, another contest.

I had already announced that I will notify the winners the next day, I would like to thank you again and congratulate the winners. As always, it was incredibly difficult, the selection was immense and it took me longer than expected. There was everything from wholesome, to unspeakably sad or inspiring and funny. You folks are wonderful (This year, by the way, there were extremely high numbers of dogs, roughly 80% of all entries lol). Thank you for sharing...

Short update on the contest

Hello dear friends :)
The little contest to win a free book ended a few days ago. Many of you participated this time as well and you sent me really great stories and photos. Thank you very much! I go through each email individually to really read and look at everything. Because of the amount it takes a while, but I think I can send the mails to the winners tomorrow evening at the latest. 

Please understand that I can't reply to everyone individually because of the high particip...

Behind the Scenes: LBM /+Updates

As some may have overheard, last month was the Leipzig Book Fair (LBM for short) here in Germany. The Leipzig Book Fair is the second largest in Germany after the Frankfurt Book Fair. It is the spring meeting point of the German book industry and also the "Machandel Verlag", which published Loving Reaper's little booklet, had its booth. I was only there sporadically to sign some issues, which sold out shockingly fast. I thought I'd show you a little "behind the scenes".
Unfortunately, I m...

Patron Easter Season!

For the (belated) easter Season I'd like to give five of you the chance to get a free copy of my book. Not everyone could afford the book (especially with shipping from europe), so for those of you who would have loved to have had a book and just couldn't, for whatever reason, I would love to send you one.

JUST ONE THING: Because Patreon doesn’t allow raffles, or other games of chance,  I have to tie the giveaway to a small "condition". So this is more of a small contest :) 2023-04-17 13:09:38 +0000 UTC View Post

Easter comic + Announcement

And that's why we give them flowers 🌸🌻🌹
Have a nice and colorful Easter 😊
(But please don't gift any live animals, thank you)

Just wanted to short easter comic, which is not Patreon exclusive BUT

I also wanted to announce that I'm giving away some hardcover books again, for those who haven't been able to get one yet. More details will be in the next post :)

Minicomic in between

Would you have him deliver a message? Would you trust him with that? 

(Just something small that went through my head. More soon :) )

I'm back!

Hello friends,

I just want to apologize for the lack of posts. The sudden loss of my dog hit me harder than I expected, or rather I didn't think that I would nibble on it for so long. But many of you probably know just how much the loss of a beloved companion can affect you.

I am currently trying to crawl back into my daily routine. Of course, I'm still working and have some really great news to share with you.

I hope you forgive me my little time out to process this farewel...

The comic I dreaded the most....

Hello friends, 

You already knew that I had to say goodbye to my dog last month. While I was grieving, I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to dedicate a comic to Trixi. On the one hand because it's incredibly heartbreaking for me, of course, but also because I was afraid that it might look like I was exploiting Trixi's death. But not dedicating a comic to my little companion felt just as wrong, didn't she deserve it? The first days and weeks I couldn't do much and was paralyzed wai...

Short (and sad) update

Hi friends, 

I had actually planned a post about being able to prepare booths for Loving Reaper again this year, because the approvals came in last night. Instead there is sad news that set me back a bit.

My dog "Trixie" came to the emergency clinic a few days ago because she collapsed. She was found to have a cancerous tumor that ruptured half of her spleen. Because of this she lost a lot of blood. We were looking for blood donors and so many thousands of people either tri...

"Follow me" a little Christmas Story

I have not only a little Christmas story for you, but also a continuation of "Black Cats". Because I don't want to leave you sad for the holidays, you'll get to know Reaper's secret little helper. 

Although not exclusive, I'm still uploading my last comic for this year here. So much new is planned for 2023 and I hope you continue to accompany me :)

I am infinitely grateful for your continued support and hope you will have a wonderful christmas time and an amazing new year! 2022-12-15 19:30:34 +0000 UTC View Post

A look inside the workshop! Preparations for the next booth.

Hello friends :)

The year is coming to an end and I already have to prepare so many things for the following year.

I would like to set up a Loving Reaper booth at more fairs/coventions in 2023, since the booth went sooooo well this year and was so much fun! :D 

The publisher is coming all the way from Belgium to bring me a new supply of books. Heaps of merch is in print and everything that was missing last year I will (hopefully) do better this year.

My friend...

Latest comic

Just for completeness, I post my public comics here as well :)

"For grandma, who loved pigeons, and for grandpa, who did not but wanted her to be happy."

I know pigeons are rather unpopular, but especially because my grandma has this year her 20th "death anniversary" I wanted to dedicate her this comic. Unfortunately, also my grandpa, who left us 2 years ago. 

My grandma and me would always visited the neighbors' horses, we have fed ducks, sparrows too, but her favori...

Creating another Anniversary artwork

Can you believe that Loving Reaper is three years old today? Unbelievable how fast time flies. Unbelievable that after three years I can still share my stories with the world. I remember when I told a friend about my comic idea and she thought it was terrible. I still wanted to draw the comic and actually expected to get a lot of blacklash. But it didn't turn out that way. I was (positively) shocked at how well my first comic was received and that people even demanded a sequel. And so began t...

Time for Donations! :)

It's been a while, but I want to start supporting some organisations and great people :) I made two smaller donations this time.

One went to went to https://frostedfacesfoundation.org/donate 

As always, I let a random generator decide. I really like this one because they also take in "unadoptable" dogs and take care of them. I think that's very sweet.

Second donation went to a germ...
