Their second date!

Penny and Walter on their second date... let's see how it goes.

We've been getting a lot of good feedback about Penny, and we're thrilled to hear so many people are into it! This comic means a lot to us and we're glad we can share it with you. 

That's all for us! Catch you Thursday!

Happy Halloween!

Hey guys! Two things I wanted to mention:

First: Happy Halloween!
Second, I'm super into this Kickstarter for Hana Doki Kira: 
An original art anthology in homage to Shōjo, showcasing a diverse group of over twenty artists!
Rebecca Mock, Annie Stoll, Leslie Hung, Kris Mukai, and a whole host of other fantastic artists are teaming up to bring this anthology to you! They're all so, so good. 
That's all for us! Catch you next time! 

Killin' time

It's been really fun to watch Yuko draw an action sequence! I love it!

We're hard at work on new projects right now! Yuko's working away at Penny and some other things, and I've started doing preliminary work on something new. I wish we could talk about them just now, but alas it's too soon. Too... soon. 

That's all for us! See you next time!

New release date for BUZZ!

Go Penny gooooo!

BUZZ! is unfortunately delayed until Dec 11th, but you can still order it on Amazon!

Hope everyone's doing well! The cats have been particularly cute recently, I think they really like our new apartment now that they've settled in. Sometimes Rook sits in the window and looks forlornly at the cat in the backyard next door... a big fat ginger tabby. 

Thanks for reading guys! 

There she goes

I really like how this page came out! Hope you do too!

Hope you've been enjoying Penny so far! 

We're hard at work, so short post this time - catch you Thursday!

Namco High!

Hey guys! We're back from NYCC! What a crazy show. Some of you came by the and Telegraph tables - it was great to see you!

It was only recently announced, but here's the big news: I'm the head writer of Namco High, a dating sim brought to you by Creative Director Andrew Hussie of Homestuck fame! Namco High is a dating sim/visual novel - you play as a new Katamari cousin and get to interact with various Namco characters. Only a few characters have been announced - check out the website - but they'll be releasing information about more as time goes on. I worked on a writing team with Magnolia Porter (Monster Pulse) and Brian Clevinger (Atomic Robo)! Yuko designed the Katamari cousin, and many other artists you know and love are involved. And the best news (to me): the whole dating sim engine is being written from the ground up by Datenighto, care of everyone's favorite Conrad. 

I'll be posting more about Namco High as time goes on -- but anyway, I hope you're excited! More soon.
