Brad makes an excellent point here. Why is "The Blood of Seven Queens" good? Because it mashes up the stories of your favorite fairy tale characters into a fun, funny, and occasionally sexy tale about a young woman coming of age and coming into her power.

I would not be the writer I am today without @eccbooks.bsky.social There’s only a short time left to support his comic’s Kickstarter. Go check it out. You won’t be sorry. ❤️

@bradguigar.com Any tips for getting a comics Kickstarter over the finish line in the final 48 hours? We hit 60% today and I'm told that's a good sign, that 95% of campaigns that pass 60% will reach their ultimate goal, but I'd love to not leave it up to chance.

Ye olde Kickstarter has passed 60% funding with around 48 hours left. I'm told that if a campaign passes 60%, there's a 95% chance it'll hit its goal. Fingers crossed! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ecc...

With 2 days left in the Kickstarter, I share a state and another sneak peek at issue 6 of THE BLOOD OF SEVEN QUEENS. www.patreon.com/posts/stat-a...

Five shows to get to know me: 1. Lost 2. Friends 3. Battlestar Galactica 4. Bubblegum Crisis 5. Finding Your Roots

Hard-copy proofs of the new comic arrived yesterday and they look gorgeous. 8 days left to back the Kickstarter and get one of your own. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ecc...

I forgot how much I missed these printers until I saw this. Like, why isn't there a crowdfunding campaign for a modern one of these?

Free update on how the Kickstarter for ye olde comic's going. Spoilers: not according to plan. www.patreon.com/posts/not-mo...

graphic novels do count as books and being mad at your kids for liking them more than prose books is how your kids learn to hate reading

My good friend, E. Christopher Clark has been self-publishing his comic for more than a year. Funny, cheeky, and slightly thirsty! Check out Blood of Seven Queens #6: An Oz+Wonderland Fairytale Fantasy by E. Christopher Clark on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/ecc...

Artists, quote with something silly!

Day off from the day job and I'm reading comics like it's my other job—which, I guess, it kind of is. Research and whatnot! Caught up on the Fraction "Batman" and paused reading through my backlog of indie books long enough to type this.

I have loved the phrase "For serious?" since sometime in high school or college when I heard it for the first time. Twas fun to have an excuse to use it here in the comic.

After months of working on this here comic, I've finally launched the Kickstarter for it. Check it out if you're so inclined. Rewards start at just $2 for digital copies. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ecc...

Today’s excursion: New England Aquarium with the family in honor of my eldest recently turning 20. (20?!)

My coffee needed a little re-heating, so of course I did what I always do and gave myself the command to "Warm it up, Chris." www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAhp...

I saw this on the Civilization subreddit and had to share.

Last night while driving through Cambridge, my daughter and I passed a person in a full-on panda costume riding a bicycle. I feel like this is a sign, but I'm not sure of what.

Quite possibly my favorite book of all time. And if you've never read the excellent "How a Book About Grover Revealed to Me the Wide World of Literature," you should. lithub.com/how-a-book-a...

This show—about a 30-year-old paperboy named Chris who still lived with his parents—may have single-handedly made me quit my early-90s paper route. That said, after my wife and I fell behind on our mortgage in 2015, we moved into the upstairs of my parents house. So I ended up like Chris anyway.

There was a period in my life where I quoted this bit from "Shakespeare in Love" constantly. I always said "I know not" instead of "I don't know" though, in order to sound more… something.

Here's a quick update on Ye Olde Comic Book to help me try and get back on weekly schedule. www.patreon.com/posts/progre...

Just posted a deep dive into what goes into one panel of "The Blood of Seven Queens." Illustration, 3D models, Photoshop filters, and all kinds of crazy. Check it out. www.patreon.com/posts/anatom...

Theory: The person who wrote the day-by-day Dad Jokes calendar on my desk is pretty sure they're the smartest person in any room and that the rest of us are all incredibly dumb. That's why they bold the keywords in each joke, just so that we idiots don't miss the point.

This is one of my favorite bits of wisdom I've ever picked up from Merlin Mann. I use and share it all the time, though I'd forgotten the backstory behind where Merlin picked up the phrase.

yesssss!

I try to do this, but my commute is long and there are a lot of stoplights, so I inevitably fall back into bad habits. Like right now. (Dictating this. Pardon the typos.)

Pre-launch page is live for my next Kickstarter. I feel like that's something I would say at this point if I were any good at marketing my stuff, so um, fake it till you make it? www.kickstarter.com/projects/ecc...

Crazy thing I do in the car number 643: introduce songs on my playlist, as if I am still on the air on my college radio station. 87.9 FM WHAT, Bradford College RIP

Yourself but as a cartoon character.

The saying goes that, "In order to write well, you must do two things: write a lot and read a lot." I remember the latter when it comes to social media posts like this one—I read, read, read—but I keep forgetting the former. If I'm ever going to get better at this again, I need to do it more often.

The day-by-day Dad Jokes calendar I got for Christmas needs an editor. The punishing power of a pun is all in the delivery. When the kid asks "Dad, are you all right?" the correct response should be "No. I'm half right… and half left." It should not be "No, I'm half left and half right."

I've had younger folks—including, now, my own kids—telling me this for years. But, you know, I love comics, so maybe this was all I needed to really believe it.

My first proper comics update in months. For those who also share/sell their art on the interwebs, how long do you think is TOO long between updates? www.patreon.com/posts/arduou...

The subcategorization/tropefication of popular fiction has been very bad in general, both for authors and readers.

"How do I find my art style?" I've been a creative pro for 10 years, this is the number 1 question I get. They want creative work to be recognizably theirs in an instant-- like Miyazaki or Wes Anderson movies. This is the formula for art style, it's much simpler than you think.

Commuting 50-80 minutes each way, five days a week, for most of my 26-year working life… All told, I've spent literal YEARS stuck in traffic. And here's the kicker? I can't even afford housing in the town where I live. It's only because of my parents that my family and I have a roof over our heads.
