VANITA AND THE DEMON KING

AN IGNORANCE OF ROMANCE

Surprise! An Ignorance of Romance is going to be posted exclusively on the newsletter for this week and next, before it goes dark. For more info on why that is, check out the blog post I wrote about it. (For those of you who have been around for a few months, it has to do with ~more drama~ from the sibling. Go figure.)

In more pleasant updates, I just came back from RICE – hello to all the new folks who signed up for this newsletter! Thanks for joining!

My next event will be Nov 15 at Maker’s Mart, hosted by Handmade Toledo in Toledo, OH. While there, I’m going to bring my usual comics, plus some stuff I don’t normally take with me to conventions, like crafts and paintings.

After that, the next event will be Genghis Con Cleveland on Nov 30!

Three comic panels sit wide, showing off desert landscapes as the characters traverse. Panel 1 shows early morning, panel 2 shows afternoon, and panel 3 shows evening. In panel 2, two young men sing, “I’ve been a while rover for many the year, and I’ve spent all me money on whiskey and beer…” Two other voice speak over the panel. “Basho?” “Hm?” Panel 3 shows the characters at camp, a young genderqueer person with glasses holding a sword and gazing up at the stars. Voiceover narration asks, “There are other spirits besides Mocktaw, right? Because…You remember Pim?”

I updated the goals for The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volume 3 on KickStarter! This swashbuckling genderqueer adventure has less than a week left to go, yo.

So now, if we reach 30 backers, then I will make a new mini-comic focused on Basho and Norsa (plus a NSFW short for folks who want it ~spicy~)! (We're already at 24 backers, so we just need 6 more!)

And if we make it to 40 backers, then I will make the mini-comic, “The Banishment of the Sun Dragon”!

Even $1 gets this campaign closer to these goals, so if you have the means, you can back the campaign now. But if you’re broke, share the link with your pirate- and dragon-loving friends!

I will be sending out a final reminder of this campaign when there’s 24 hours left. So be prepared for that.

In other updates from last week, you can catch up on An Ignorance of Romance on the official site.

Fellow zine maker Christina Tran is on KickStarter to bring “Dear Daughter” back in print! This zine is an exploration of family using letters and photo albums. One of the rewards for backing it is participating in a workshop run by Christina! Go check it out.

We Need Diverse Books is running a micro-grant program to help authors who have been affected by the SNAP cuts. (To qualify, one has to have been traditionally published. Sorry indie authors). More info is in this post.

If you or someone you know has been affected by the SNAP cuts, here’s a (nonexhaustive) list of Food Banks across the US. They’re alphabetized by name of Food Bank, but there is a column for location to make navigating the list easier.

Starbucks workers are on strike, and are asking folks NOT to cross the picket line! More info is in this announcement. They also have a petition you can sign in support of their efforts, including advocating for on-the-job protections and better working hours.

That’s all for now...
