Phil and I are at the Magic the Gathering Eternal Weekend in Pittsburgh, and I forgot the small adapter that lets me connect my hard drive to my laptop. Friday’s comic can’t get posted until a package with a new one arrives, hopefully tomorrow. Arghhhhh!

Happy spooky season! Here’s my sad pear that I forgot in the refrigerator getting into the spirit of things. It wants to be a jack-o’-lantern when it grows up.

I just spent a couple days in hospital, which is why the Wed. Page was a bit late. Now I’m back home and doing just fine, I even streamed on Twitch tonight! I’ll be in the dealer’s room at the World Science Fiction Convention tomorrow. Thanks everyone! —Kaja

Preorders are still open for the Cat Royalty medals, and also for the campaign exclusive medals for the Exorcism Engines and Entertainment in Londinium releases. I've also listed a few leftover items from earlier campaigns, but they're going fast!

An unexpected benefit to staying up late working: I get to listen to a bunch of coyotes yelling at each other somewhere nearby. I love their weird voices.

Things have been iffy for a while but suddenly got dire. We’ll surely be ok but currently need a bit of help. Thank you to everyone who has donated, it’s such a relief and we’re shocked at the response. Thank you!

Phil Foglio @thephilfoglio.bsky.social · Jul 17

#girlgenius Hated to do it, but we started a GoFundMe. These are chaotic times, and no mistake, and all of a sudden we realized they were chaosing all over us. (www.gofundme.com/f/help-the-f...) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I plan to place the order for the new medals at the end of the month. I'd like to give it longer, but I took SO LONG to get the BackerKit stuff up and running that I have to move fast now. I'll only do one run of the limited book medals, so grab one now if you want it!

kajafoglio.bsky.social @kajafoglio.bsky.social · Jul 11

Here's one of the things that's been keeping me busy! In addition to the new cat medals, we have the limited-run collectible medals from the latest Girl Genius issues and some leftover medals and patches from earlier campaigns!

I hope everyone had a good one! It rained so hard here I think everyone at the parade got pretty wet. (It’s so late I almost forgot to post this!)

Thank you for letting us know! I can’t replicate the problem, but I’ll stay aware and see if I can learn anything else. I hate to answer with “well it works on mine “ but that’s all I’ve got at the moment.

Finally getting a chance to test out a new deck (#2-Master Payne's Circus of Adventure in honor of bday teen) and playmat from missing Kickstarter years ago.

Just as fun/adorable as I remembered and not just saying that cause I skunked @bookreadingguy.bsky.social 2nd round.
