The handsome naked fellow will be on page one all weekend. This will either bring in many new readers, or drive many new readers away. Let’s sit back and watch. The noble and lovely patroness Gillian Arsenault honors me with a tip to the hat jar of $100! And for this, the gracious lady gets a page of original art, and pays for me to draw ANOTHER page! Thanks to the VERY generous donations of the web readers, you have paid for EIGHT pages of the next issue of A Distant Soil! I am absolutely delighted and can hardly believe it, frankly. Hm, maybe there’s something to this webcomic thingy…

WARNING: Tasteful nudity and sexually-oriented humor in tomorrow’s installment. If that’s the sort of thing that bothers you, I know you’ll be back tomorrow. The donation so nice, he made it twice! Jeremiah Avery, dropped a second C-note into our tip jar! He gets a page for himself, and I get to draw a page! Thank you, thank you!

You get to read for free online, and every $100 donation gets YOU a page of art and ME the money to make another page of art!…

First off, sorry about the snafu here. A couple of corrupted files, and out went a couple of posts. Alas, the original comments are gone, but I have reloaded the pages safely. Thanks to Hughesnet, reloading only TWO pages took almost 45 minutes. The noble patroness of the arts Arlene Harris does my humble self the honor of hitting my donation button. For this, she secures herself a lovely page featuring the lovely and stern Major Kovar. Thank you so very much, Arlene! And congratulations on winning NaNoWriMo! Drop by Arlene’s blog for a look at excerpts of her book. By the way, if I ever get around to it,…

I think my art is a little too “clean line” over these pages. Also, the transition between this page and last is abrupt. I think a big, flashy attractive splash page would have been better for pacing. And I don’t know what I was thinking using that zip tone pattern in the last panel. Whoa. Whatever. The donation promotion continues! A $100 donation gets you an original page of art! Hand drawn! Inscribed! Pick your favorite character! Offer good until December 5. Make with the clicky here for more info. My coffers thank you!

My God, it’s full of cute. The holiday weekend may give you some leisure time to read some nifty webcomics. So please do check out the offerings from our fine sponsors. Don’t worry, the ads here are not pay-by-click. Clicking does not cost anybody anything. Checking out one of the sponsor’s sites is guilt-free browsing. PS: please let me know if you guys have any problem with the animated ads. I can turn them off.

From now until December 5, I am offering a donation incentive: get a page of original art from the A Distant Soil for a $100 donation. YES, original art DOES mean an actual, hand drawn page of art from the series. Not a copy, not a computer print out. ALL my work is by hand and HAND LETTERED, and any page you get will be top quality, in excellent condition, prominently featuring a character of your choice (please don’t forget to list a second fave character, just in case). Shipping by December 15 is GUARANTEED. If your package is not postmarked by December 15, you get your money back. No…

It’s a character point that Liana has a habit of regressing to childlike behavior at times, but I think I went overboard here and made her childish. Your mileage may vary.
