PiQue: Old Ghosts page 5, and Fearful Hunter funtimes
It’s Wednesday, and that means the new page of Politically InQueerect: Old Ghosts is live! At long last, we arrive at our destination, and we learn that in Archer’s case the sarcasm is congenital. You can read it here on Tapastic, or here on Studio NDR.
If you need to get caught up, or just want to refresh your memory, the archive of all pages posted to date is here.
In other exciting comix news, I’ve done a 1-page backup story for Jon Macy’s upcoming Fearful Hunter collected volume. In addition to his own story of queer druid/werewolf luv, he asked several of his artist pals to do short pieces on the subject of queer monster romance. I decided to do a page featuring two of my characters from my Beyond story, Halvanylila and Razi. I babble about it a bit further in my Tumblr post on the subject, so wander over there if you’re dying for more details.
I shall include a teaser here, but obviously for the full page you’ll have to pick up the Fearful Hunter tome when it comes out. Not sure what the release date is, but I’ll let you know when I know.
Cheers,
Dylan

PiQue: Old Ghosts page 4 is up!
Page 4 of Old Ghosts is now posted for your viewing pleasure, both here on Studio NDR, and over here on Tapastic.
The summary for today’s page is best encapsulated in a paraphrasing of a certain Smith’s song: Some flights are better than others, some flights are better than others, some flights are better for other churls’ mothers.
Need to get caught up? The archive for all the pages posted to date is here.
In other news, I’m going to be posting more Beyond teasers over on my tumblr as work on that story gears up. Here’s the new one I put up yesterday. Eventually I’ll create a section on Studio NDR for all this concept art, but for the time being it’s just easier to post it on Tumblr. So. Follow along there if you don’t want to have to wait.
Cheers,
Dylan

PiQue – Old Ghosts page 3
New page is up! You can read it here on Tapastic, or here on Studio NDR. In this episode, we begin to get the impression that Archer might possibly need to learn some meditation skills. (That’ll totally happen, yeah.)
I’ve got up through page 29 penciled. I have a convention this weekend, so further penciling progress will be slow, but I hope to get back to it after the show’s over.
Cheers,
Dylan

Someone maybe needs to learn some meditation skills, hmm?

Alt newspaper MADNESS
First up, it may interest you to learn that the latest issue of Rocksalt is out, and I have a couple of cartoons in it. As ever, lots of great and weird cartoonery is to be had within, and if you live in Austin you can probably snag a print copy somewhere around town at one of the free drops.
Meanwhile, Comix Brew, the alt comics newspaper for Denver Drink & Draw‘s cadre of crazy cartoonists has hit its Kickstarter funding goal. There’s still a week left to contribute, so if you want to snag a bitchin’ pint glass or some original art, go throw some dollars our way.
What else can I tell ya. Still penciling away on Old Ghosts. 28 pages down, hoping to knock out page 29 today. Inks in progress on page 24. I’m so excited to be finishing this story after all these years I can’t even tell ya. Anyway, page 3 goes up on Wednesday, so check back then.
Cheers,
Dylan

PiQue: Old Ghosts page 2 is up!
Old Ghosts page 2 is up, on Tapastic and here on Studio NDR.
Who WOULDN’T want to sit next to Archer on a plane for seven hours?
Trivia for this page: my grandfather, who smoked for 40 years, gave up the habit only under duress. He would never hesitate to tell you how “those doctors” had “made” him quit smoking, as though the two heart attacks had nothing to do with it. (He lived to be 96.) So I borrowed a bit of that bluster for Archer’s own “you made me quit” narrative.
Need to get caught up? Here’s the archive of all pages posted to date.
Tune in next week for more UNSTOPPABLE EXCITEMENT.
Cheers,
Dylan

Thus it begins – PiQue: Old Ghosts page 1
Page 1 of the brand new PiQue story “Old Ghosts” is now up on Tapastic, and here at home. Todd, Archer, and Archer’s mother Clara embark on a journey to Shrewsbury, England, to assist Archer’s grandmother in moving to a newer, smaller house. In this case, “newer” simply means “less than 500 years old.” Todd is game. Clara is resigned. Archer … might be about to complain a bit? Nah.
There’s only the one page at the moment, but ultimately this is where you’ll go to read the story in progress. At 36 pages, published one page a week, I’m sure there’ll come a time when you’ll want to review what has come before.
As of right now I have 8 pages completely finished, so that’s two months of updates in the can.
Also of possible interest to you queer comics readers: my publisher, Northwest Press, is having a 20% Off sale right this very now. A great chance to stock up on some excellent queer graphic novels, no?
Cheers,
Dylan
