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.

As God is my witness, I did not intend for the transition between the last two panels to sound like a dirty joke.

My most sincere thanks to Joseph Putynkowski, noble patron of the comic arts, whose kind hit on the tip jar keeps the wolf from the door for one more day, saves the lives of gentle fairies, and serves the artist a cuppa coffee to fuel those late night work sessions!
