New PuddleJumpers Short!

New PuddleJumpers Short!

Hello! Been a minute, hasn't it.

I'll get straight to the point, there's a new PuddleJumper story in the wild. Drawn, coloured, and lettered by the very talented Flo Woolley, and written by yours truly. I've attached it below as well for you to enjoy.

If this story warms your cockles, perhaps consider dropping me a tip by buying it on itch.io. It's less than the price of a cup of fancy coffee, and all the money I make off of it goes straight back into making more comics, so thank you for keeping the PuddleJumpers world alive!

How Do I Get Comics Made?

Comics aren't cheap to make, and I have a somewhat novel way of doing it. Alongside my day-job I make and sell Ceramics. That's what paid for the story you've just read (Clear Skies was paid for with savings before I realised that's a good way to obliterate my savings) and what will hopefully pay for much of the next one as well.

I'm lucky enough to sell direct to a couple of businesses, but next week is my first proper market, and I'm quite nervous. I'm not good at self-promotion at the best of times so standing at a table and actively asking people to look at a thing I've made in person is a spooky proposition. But I'm gonna give it a go because dangit I want to make more comics! Anyway, last night my wonderful partner helped me do a test run on our kitchen table and here's what I'm working with:

I promise I cleaned the kitchen after this pic was taken.

There's actually more than this underneath the table, but we didn't want to crowd stuff out.

If everything on this table sells, that's another PuddleJumpers story paid for, so fingers crossed!

Oh, and I'll be at Thought Bubble this coming weekend. If you see me, say hi =) I might even have some physical copies of the above comic to hand out!
