New MONSTER KING and Upcoming Thingies

"How do we end up in these situations, Pengy?"

Right-o. It's Saturday, so it's time for a new MONSTER KING! This week, we've got the start of a NEW ISSUE, which can be viewed at http://www.torcpress.com/mkex.html. After the foresty-ramblyness (that's really a word? What?) of the last two issues, this time around we're heading off in a different direction, with a little more of a... I don't really know how to describe it really. Imagine the Adam West "Batman" TV series on Acid merged with a campy 70s Horror film all being drawn and colored by Dr. Seuss. Yeah. Anyway, enjoy the brightly colored sneak peak of the new issue. We'll have Pages 2 and 3 up next week.

Meanwhile, this is the LAST WEEK to view Issue 2 in its entirety. It's over at http://www.torcpress.com/monsterking.html. The Print Version is already in the Pipeline, and should be available in...April (?).

Speaking of the Pipeline, we finally (FINALLY! Jeez!) got Issue 12 of "The Hot Fudge Sundae Adventure Club" over to the Printers. It should be available in... late April or early May. It's a Snow Adventure, which is strange considering how much I hate snow right now.

Work is slowly (SLOWLY...Jeez, I'm moving in slow motion lately) beginning work on HFSAC 13. Thanks to being trapped in an airport for too long, I've got the scripts done for that, Mystery Book 1 Issue 3, an old book that we're rebuilding, another old book that we're re-envisioning, and something that could best be described as horribly, horribly wrong. Horribly wrong. Some of those Projects are very long term and may not come out this year. Others are closer to the front burner. Regardless, right now we need that magical combination of Time and Energy if we wanna tackle anything.

Also, also, on Monday we'll be adding some new comics to our Library. So stay tuned for that.

Oh, and before I forget, I'm apparently a week away from SPACE in Columbus, OH. Jeez. Time flies. Anyway, details on that are up at http://www.backporchcomics.com/space.htm. I gotta get some Sketches drawn up for that. Mystery Book 2 Issue 1 will debut at that show as well.

Sometimes I feel like the Biggest Idiot who Ever Lived. Then I remember that at least I'm not a Republican. Then I don't feel so bad. (TORC Press and Joseph Morris apologize to any Republicans in the audience. Although you should all feel bad for that crap in Wisconsin. Seriously.)
