Shaenon: I made another soundtrack of Skin Horse songs for Jeff. Observant readers may have noticed that such a soundtrack usually precedes the announcement of a new SH book. Stay tuned… Channing: It’s always great to get a new mix-tape from[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: My notes on a couple of the strips for this storyline. Because I’m twelve. Channing: I know it would totally break all sense of immersiveness, but there’s a part of me that totally wants Shaenon’s juvenile commentary to actually[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Some of my thumbnails for the opening of this storyline. I haven’t drawn this guy very often, so this is fun. Channing: I dig the details of the Reclusive Genius’s study / workroom, even here presented in sketch form.
Shaenon: Brian Daniel drew us this adorable Sweetheart, with dog bandana and everything. Keep an eye out for Brian’s upcoming comic from Arcana Studios, Tomorrow Jones. Thanks, Brian! Channing: This is what happens when Sweetheart loses a bet to Tip. […]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: I wanted to do a St. Patrick’s Day wallpaper for March, and what’s more Irish than a Guinness advertisement? Not very much, even if they mostly make the beer in Canada now. As usual, if you make a donation[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Behold! The wonderful printmaker and cartoonist Liz Conley has, through painstaking research, developed a recipe for Moustachio’s Man-Portable Fusion Pie (With Raisins)! Thanks, Liz! Channing: It sounds delicious, Liz! And totally non-explosive, as an added benefit!
Shaenon: At last it’s happening! Skin Horse Volume 3 is in the works! This volume will cover everything from “Tin Soldier” to “Come Swing From My Branches,” plus a bonus story written by Jeff and drawn by me, color pinups,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: When I made the Skin Horse Volume 3 soundtrack a while back, I wasn’t yet planning to include “Come Swing From My Branches” in the volume. To make up for that, here’s an entire soundtrack of New Orleans-related songs. Needs[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: The second entry in the Skin Horse/Narbonic Tarot deck: the Nine of Cobras! As usual, if you make a donation in any amount to the Skin Horse Tip Jar, I will send you a link to the wallpaper. Each wallpaper[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: A few thumbnails from the current storyline. It took me a while to figure out how to draw Jonah. I ended up giving the Math Olympics T-shirt he’s wearing here to Dr. Lee. Jonah dresses cooler than that. The[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: I was right. Kingdom Hearts is funnier. Channing: Ever since we introduced Nick’s swear-filter, I’ve kinda been itching to do a gag where our friend the frustrated helicopter goes on a long (and incomprehensible) swearing bender. There actually was[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: The latest Couscous Collective anthology, BEARDS, is out and available at the Couscous Store! This volume is the longest yet and includes a new Narbonic story by yours truly, plus comics by Andrew Farago, Jason Thompson, Pancha Diaz, and the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: By now it should be brutally obvious that the current storyline owes a lot to the Skylark Choose Your Own Adventure books and all books like them. This month’s wallpaper seemed a fitting tribute. As usual, if you make[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Long before we started writing “Choose,” among the many wonderful gifts Jeff gave me was his synopses, with ratings, of every possible ending in Choose Your Own Adventure #51, The Magic of the Unicorn. Now I will share the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Here’s a sample page from “The Funk Gazes Also,” the bonus story in the upcoming Skin Horse Volume 3, written by Jeff, penciled by me, and inked by Andrew Farago. This story is excellent. You will want to read it.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: More thumbnails. You can see that by this point I’d figured out how to draw Jonah. Channing: The third thumbnail is actually one of the earliest scripted portions of this storyline. Trying to figure out exactly why, when, and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: The ever-wonderful cartoonist Andre Richard has created a gorgeous portrait of the protagonists of the current storyline. And a unicorn, even! Thank you so much, Andre. Channing: Eee! And they’re riding a unicorn and everything! Yes, I know, the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: All right! Eden Thomas sent us this Disney-inspired illustration of Artie and Tip, Tarzan-style. Keeping with the jungle theme, she also drew a meeting between Mell from Narbonic and Unity. Wild! Thanks so much, Eden! Channing: That really is a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: My thumbnail for this past Thursday’s strip. I like this one a lot. Just so you know. Channing: We don’t tend to break the single-line four(ish)-panel format a lot, as you’ve doubtless noticed, but in this case I think[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
