HUNT FOR THE YETI!  A DnD Extravaganza

TONIGHT, IT BEGINS.

During the Kickstarter for Less Than Secret , we announced that we would present a cryptid-themed roleplaying game adventure as a reward for hitting certain goals. Wednesday, November 30th at 7pm ET, we're finally bringing it to you.

Head over to the CanonWrite YouTube Channel for the premiere of HUNT FOR THE YETI! All of the players will be active in the chat for the duration of the video. We had a blast recording it, and we can't wait to share it with all of our amazing backers.

​Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

A Live Chat with Angela Boyle!

Hi everyone!
I hope everyone's Thanksgiving weekend has gone well! We've had a nice vacation from livestreaming, but it's time to break our fast with ANOTHER INTERVIEW!

This Sunday at 2pm ET, join interviewer Ben Wright-Heuman as he talks to cartoonist Angela Boyle about her mystery story for What the Gnomes Know , "Gnoir with a Silent G"! We'll be discussing the mystery-writing process, the unusual hybrid comic format of the project, and what it's like running an anthology (something that Angela has a LOT of personal experience with). Head over to the CanonWrite YouTube channel to check it out!

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

WHAT THE GNOMES KNOW Coloring Page Challenge!

Hi everyone!

The Kickstarter for What The Gnomes Know is at the halfway point, and we've already moved into stretch goals! Thank you so much for your support so far, whether you've been backing the project, joining the live chat interviews, spreading the world, or even just following us to see what happens! Every little bit helps.

In order to support the final few weeks of the Kickstarter, we're issuing a social media contest!
Picture Art by Ben Wright-Heuman (@BWHComics on Patreon, IG, Twitter, Twitch, and YouTube) We are challenging people to color this page (which you can download here) and post it on Facebook, Instagram, and/or Twitter with the hashtags #WhatTheGnomesKnow and #gnomecomics, and with a link to the Kickstarter (tinyURL.com/gnomecomics).

After the Kickstarter wraps up on December 7th at 7:07 pm ET, we'll scour social media for everyone that took the challenge and randomly select one lucky winner to receive an original digital illustration!

Whether you're a professional artist, an amateur enthusiast, or a little kid with crayons, give it your best shot and help us spread the word about this fantastic project! We can't wait to see what you have in store for us!

​Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

Tonight at 8pm ET: BWHComics Plays DANGANRONPA 2!

Picture GOODBYE, DESPAIR!

Tonight at 8pm ET, head over to the BWHComics Twitch channel and join us for a brand-new mystery journey with the twisted world of Danganronpa 2! The first game was an incredible journey, with some seriously well thought-out mystery gameplay (and some whack mystery gameplay, but when it was good, it was good). Take a break from hearing me rant about What the Gnomes Know and watch me impersonate a dozen different anime characters until my voice burns out!

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

THE LEGACY OF L, Finalist for the 2022 SPACE Prize!

EXCITING NEWS!

The Letters of the Devil II: The Legacy of L is a finalist in the Graphic Novel category for the 2022 SPACE Prize! This project's marketing push was one of the victims of the events of 2020, so it's exciting to see it get some attention!

I want to thank everyone that supported this project. When we ran it, we had no idea how strange that year would be, but it was because of your support that this book was created.

In order to get the word out, I've decided to do something I haven't done before: an online sale! Until the voting period ends, physical copies of The Legacy of L are discounted from $34.99 to $20, and the first book is discounted from $24.99 to $14.99! This means that you can get both books for $34.99, which is like getting the first one for FREE!

In addition, I have set up a discount code for digital copies of The Legacy of L. You'll need to enter the regular payment amount, but if you apply the discount code "2022SpacePrize" at checkout, you'll get 50% off!

It's been an incredible journey with this series, and this nomination gives me hope that I'll be able to make the next book! Thank you again for your support, and wish me luck!

​Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.
