Webcomic Updates

“Mustang VixSkin® Review” a comic by Jey Pawlik, is done in warm greens, yellows, dark browns, and choppy black line art. Jey is a nonbinary transmasc person with a chubby build, short cropped hair, and a tiny bit of facial hair, in this comic they’re dressed up like a cowboy. Jey, the cowboy, is leaning on a fence as the sun rises behind them with their hat tipped to cover their eyes. They smile and say “For years I’d been on the hunt for a premium dildo. One that far outshines any other I’ve tried. And now, my search may finally be over."

A review on a toy I’ve had for a long time, I was surprised there hadn’t been one done already. So I stepped up and chatted about one of my favourites in this silly review! Yee-haw!

I need to hurry!!" then proceeds to walk as slowly as possible in her fancy film noir dress.

Cool Comic Recommendation

Ghost Junk Sickness by studioCARTRIDGE

Ghost Junk Sickness takes place in a galaxy far from our own. A majority of the story happens on the planet struck by the catastrophe 5 years ago, June7. It’s a post-apocalyptic world on the struggle to recovery, covered with outlaws and bounty hunters who’ve claimed it as their own.

A really long and really wonderful comic by another duo and this comic JUST wrapped up THIS MONTH (like 5 days ago)!!! Now is the absolute best time to go through and read the entire comic.

~~~

Other Things

I was asked to do more children’s book work, I’m working on this month’s regular OJST comic, I’m working on an extra OJST comic for the pledge drive in June, I’m in another Lupin zine, AND I’m heading the NIF promo committee all this month.

Things might be tight for a minute.

We’ll make it through!
