Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

I'm really glad I figured out a way I can ship books to the US properly for not-insane rates, but...... a condition of this is that everything needs to have some sort of "made in Canada" label on it. So I guess I will be printing off a sheet of those and sticking them inside the covers of my books.

I forget that TVTropes is a neat way to discover other stories, and that there is an entry for my comic on there by some folks !
If anyone wants to have fun poking around on it too, go right ahead 👀

The one about comic book page rates – again. News flash: Comic book page rates are STILL stagnant, after all these years, and for indie cartoonists it's even harder

Abel’s arc reads like a B-plot in a Disney movie.
“Congrats you’ve inherited a traumatized, shitty dog. She hates everyone except for your deadbeat (now just dead) dad and casually kills all the fauna she finds.”
Now he has to grow a spine and actually train her.
