*Whew* - I can finally say that as of 5 minutes ago I finished colouring the last page of the next Angora Napkin book! Doing a colour book has been a hell of a task, I hope you all deem the results worth the effort when you get to see it!

I wish I could say the book is 'finished' but there's still the job of cover art, bonus comics and all around design to attend to - so I'm not quite done yet but it's at least nice to have that stage of production in the can.

Well, no time to bask in the glory, I still have work to do!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
(Click image to enlarge)

Angora Napkin - ringing in the New Year in typical mayhem! Hope you've all been enjoying the story so far, we're getting close to the end! Not a moment too soon if the Mayans are right about things, and we all know they're pretty on the money with this stuff.

Should we manage to avoid or avert the oncoming apocalypse (for the time being at least), then with a little luck they'll be some fresh new Angora items in store for you! Check out my C&SD blog for my 2011 round up if you're so inclined and stick around for more - it's going to be a gas!

Useless trivia: the announcer's dialogue is ripped off from the opening of the 1986 W.A.S.P. album "Inside the Electric Circus". I was a big fan of the band back in my "School Daze" (pun relevant).

Happy Friday Ya'll! Hope my American readers are safely recovering from a bounty of delicious gobble-bird and Skyrim / Zelda marathons. You have much to be thankful for!

I'm in marathon mode myself trying to get the next Angora Napkin book coloured before the end of 2011 - 26 pages to go! I've enlisted some help in the age old tradition of child labor and the results speak for themselves:

Good times!

Also, The Washington Post is calling for nominations for "Best Webcomics of 2011". If you have a moment to post or email giving Angora Napkin a shout-out that would be awesome! Thanks everyone for the support!!!

Up here in the far North (Canada) we celebrate what the US calls "Canadian Thanksgiving". It's pretty much the same as our kissin' cousins from the south except we all dress up as Martin Frobisher and eat Chinese take-out.

And in the spirit of giving thanks - Thank YOU for being such awesome fans! You- the legion of dedicated 'Serviettes' help keep me motivated to make more Angora Napkin comics! Keep spreading the love thick like Nutella on toast and I'll keep making them funnies!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

and May All Your Syrups Be Maple.

Last minute IndieGoGo contribution came in from The Spectacular Dylan Miller of Lightning Bolt Comics! Thanks dude, and I'll be seeing you next week to once again satiate my kids need for the next issue of Sonic the Hedgehog!

Take a virtual tour of Lighting Bolt in the informative video I found whilst trolling the internets for LOL cats. The man has impeccable tastes, I'm sure you agree! And did you know that Dylan was Matt Groening's inspiration for The Comic Guy on The Simpsons? True story!

An update on progress - I got sidetracked from working on the book for the summer while doing the Artist in Residence job but I'm back at it now and colouring PG 76 today. During the residency I managed to draw the cover art for the book, designed a few new logos, did some pin up art AND even took a stab at the NEXT Angora Napkin book!

So thanks again ya'll for the support! XOXO

And now for another moment of Angora Napkin trivia!

Nick and I started developing Angora Napkin during a period of downtime at the studio we worked at. Upon our eventual return to work, we showed the boss what we'd been up to over the course of a few months and they were interested in developing it in to a Flash web series.

The studio had hired a producer from Toronto and when the project passed her desk she refused to support it on account of, "the name Angora Napkin is offensive to me". How precisely is it offensive we wondered? "It makes me think of a feminine hygiene product gone wrong" she replied. Upon reflection, we thought that was an interesting interpretation and felt even more conviction to keep the name as it was despite the studio insisting we change the show to "Bubble Gum Pop" or "Rock Candy".

We stood our ground and decided to shelve the whole thing rather then change it for arbitrary reasons.

I love that now, years later that offensive named cartoon was an Eisner nominated book for teens and an animated cartoon on National TV. This page was my little 'poke' at that time in Angora's development history.

Hey, did you notice that little IndiGoGo box up on the top right of the page? The countdown is on and I can really use your support! There's some sugar sweet perks in it for ya as well - just look what Sid out in Van City got direct from Angora Napkin HQ:

A signed book with a sketch!

A print, signed by the band!

And what's this? Sue now own an original page of artwork from the book?

Is this even POSSIBLE???

The answer is: YES, IT IS POSSIBLE!!!

You get awesome stuff AND are directly supporting the creation of the next Angora Napkin graphic novel. Please consider throwing a few bucks down. All donors are entitled to a giant bear hug next convention whence we meet. Who are you to resist?

This page still makes me laugh! I love making comics.

I read "How to Make Webcomics" by Kurtz and the gang over the weekend to see what nuggets I might glean from their expertise. Lots of good advice, much of which I've got covered having been doing this stuff for a while. The bottom line (in their opinion) is; if it's a good quality comic, it will eventually draw a crowd - be patient.

Hopefully this falls into that category! If you're a fan, spread the love and tell others! Thanks peeps, see you Wednesday!

I'll be updating my C&SD blog from there, so if you can't make it to PEI anytime between now and the end of August you can still check out what's going on there!

ORIGINAL ARTWORK: LOST?

Curious, Once again I've come up with another unaccounted for page of original artwork. Perhaps my trusting nature is getting the better of me as some turkey stole all the CD's out of my car the other day too. Serves me right for not locking the doors - criminal masterminds are everywhere! Anyway, it's a lesson on keeping good inventory I guess. Always look on the bright side of theft!

In other, more interesting news - the PACE press release is out now! Read up on how I'm spending my summer and if you're in PEI during the July-August months then please stop in and see what I'm up to!
