Oh Olly, you are such a sad man.
I spent a better part of this weekend putting together the covers for Octopus Pie book 3, which means it's almost ready! A few things about this book:
-it'll be 104 pages
-it will contain 4 storylines - Tag, Renaissance Unfair, Dumbo, and Interview
-I will most likely be taking pre-orders this time around, to help offset the printing costs. The pre-order period won't start, though, until all files have gone to print. So if you get on the pre-order wagon, the wait won't be more than a couple of weeks.
More details soon. With any luck this puppy will be ready by the end of March!

The problem with having a take-charge personality is you wind up being in charge.

I do believe I spy the box to a delectable little Japanese treat in panel one–the little chocolate mushrooms with cookie stems. Mmmm.
Avernus
You most certainly did, my friend ~
Those cookies are delectable

So… where does Eve's… lollimush? go between panels 2 and 7?
YAOMTC
She took it out in panel 2, then… Maybe threw it away? Somewhere during panels 3 or 4, unless she switched the hand it was in before panel 5, in which case she would've had to get rid of it sometime before panel 8.

Before panel 7, I mean, when she shows both hands, neither of which are holding the mushroom-on-a-stick.

My father would probably buy some (OK, a lot) of that stuff. He loves trying weird foods. Spent a day in Oaxaca seeking worms to eat (since no self-respecting Mexican actually eats them), taking a bunch of other Gringo-men with him. And when we went to China…
You just need to market that stuff to middle-aged, white, male yuppie demographic.

I love those slightly phallic chocolate little treats.

Ha! The look on Eve's face!

With Scots/German family, none of this stuff seems that odd (well, the snake ice cream, maybe). But I think Ollie could do what the Chinese herb vendors do – promote the "invigorating" and "potency-enhancing" properties associated with these things, and BAM! Men in their 30's-50's will be scooping it up.
Wanted to ask about what kinda natural supplements Ollie's Organix would stock – all the NatFüd joints I've seen in the U.S. stock a hodge-podge of food and nutraceuticals. C'mon, doesn't Ollie stock vegan creatine and protein powders? That's the ticket; same demographic.
What's with the comment section changing stripes again?

People were having difficulty signing up, so I disabled mandatory registration. sorry for all the changes! Someday we'll settle on something ideal. <:

That's cool, I had to copy the alpha numeric password I was given (couldn't figure out how to change it) and paste it from my desktop every time. I like this more. I promise not to swear or be a hater.

Congratulations. This stripe caused me to laugh out loud in a snooty coffee shop. Now I look such the fool.

SO awesome. I'm still adjusting to this not pink comic business, though!
meredith
Maybe the next story will be a different color. I haven't decided yet! But it won't be pink. 😉

Shiitake Brown – it's what Ollie would have ordered!

@kateri It's behind her face in panel five. At that moment she remembers she has it, and devours it in the next panel while she is "off-camera."

Pre-Orders for Book3? I am getting on that wagon, for sure.
My Mom made fun of me for showing off my signed and sketched books. She laughed even harder when I said they were a birthday present. She stopped laughing (at me) when I made her read them.
You are loved by American Dwelling Canadians!

And by Canadians residing in Canada, too!

I believe professor Xavier said it best: From those who have much to give, much will be asked.
