No one said that this Patreon campaign had to pertain exclusively to Zebra Girl, right? Shoot, my name's on the marquee too.
So, I rarely participate in memes, but this #Spidersona thing is right up my alley. Into the Spider-verse was great, and I’ve loved Spider-Man all my life! Maybe the best Halloween cos...

From the writings of Stan Stone, noted Lepologist (date unknown):
"The advent of the family of Sam Sprinkles gave rise to a new race of sapient lagomorphs. Initially dubbing themselves “High Rabbits”, their superficial resemblance to the increasingly notorious Vorpal Pook created a public impression of commonality over the years ...

2018-12-25 09:47:43 +0000 UTC View PostHello, everyone! I'd like to give my gratitude to anyone and everyone who's ordered a book, and who continues to support my work in one way or another!
That said, here's good news and bad news: the good news is that Volume 3 is now available for sale again! The bad news is that I just sold out of Volume 5...
It's wonderful to sell things. I'd like to thank everyone who's ordered a book, I hope you enjoy them for years to come! And I'm grateful for anyone who's planning to order a book in the future. But heads up, I've sold out of Volume 3 (Downward Spiral), and I'm down to my last few copies of Volume 2 (The Twilight Zoo). The p...

Hey everyone! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I’m away from home myself at the moment, but when I get back I’ll be able to make an announcement that’s been a long time coming. Meanwhile, I hope you’re managing to stay safe and sound while you recuperate, and that you always have a lot to be thankful for. For my ...

10/31/18: The Vorpal Pook tend to conceal themselves beneath a veneer of respectability. Ever the exhibitionist, Black Betty sometimes uses Halloween as an opportunity to buck propriety and let down her hair.
Just a little.

10/20/18: NEWS! Volume 5 is on its way! I've finally received, reviewed, and revised the initial print copy, and sent an order for more.
Now, a few things must be said. Taking the size of the product into account, I'm afraid it's going to be more expensive than previous volumes. I've kept the price at $10.00 for...
I'm still waiting for the test copy of the new book to arrive, but in the meantime it occurs to me that there's no reason not to post some of my other work here. After all, my patrons aren't just supporting Zebra Girl. Your support helps everything I do! And after Volume 5 and the Omnibus manifest I'll have to emphasize other proj...

Behold! BEHOLD! Behold. Everyone! Thank you for your patience and support! Volume Five is on its way! I've sent an order for a test copy to my print service of choice (Ka-Blam), and as soon as I know the finished product meets my ruthless standards I'll order more! And then you'll be...
2018-09-27 02:37:57 +0000 UTC View Post8/19/18: Hello everyone! It's high time for me to drop a line. High line time.
Work on Zebra Girl's final volume is progressing. I'm formatting the comic pages one by one, and most of the bells and whistles are finished. The back cover, the ISBN code, the intro page, that page with all the cop...

Hello everyone! How are things? Sure is strange, going without a new page baked fresh every week. But it's high time I reached out to keep us all in the loop!
Progress is being made towards printing Volume 5 of Zebra Girl (the final storyline, "Heaven on Earth"), though I've been slowed by certain family issues which coincidenta...
2018-07-22 23:18:43 +0000 UTC View PostI felt obliged to create a cover for any new readers that may ever find their way here. Welcome to the show! Zebra Girl began in the early days of the millennium, and I encourage you to begin at the beginning and see what eighteen years...
2018-06-15 10:05:46 +0000 UTC View PostAnd that’s Zebra Girl.
Well, I have to thank everyone. Being thankful is a big part of my philosophy. So! I’m thankful to my family, naturally. Mom, Dad, Sarah… I’d like to dedicate Zebra Girl to Ashley, Sarah’s upcoming daughter and my niece to be.
And there are the fellow artists a...
2018-06-11 15:37:40 +0000 UTC View PostIn case you missed the memo (and my memos are easily missed), this is NOT the final page. The final page will appear on Monday (June 11th). I thought that I could wrap things up sooner, but Zebra Girl, she squeezed me for just a few more days of life.
Not that the comic is “dying,” necessarily, an...
2018-06-08 04:27:15 +0000 UTC View PostUpdate, June 5: Art is fluid, right up to the last second. I had intended for the next page to be the last, but the way things are shaping up, it looks like there's going to be still one more page after that!
Sorry to confuse the matter, but at least the comic gets to be just one page ...
2018-06-06 04:19:19 +0000 UTC View PostNot a friend. Not really an enemy. Not much of anything, after all. Just chalk to be wiped away.
Terribly sorry (again) for keeping everyone waiting. Especially since this might be taken as something of an anti-climax to the comic's oldest mystery man. I pondered many times over the years how best to resolve his presen...
2018-06-05 03:25:06 +0000 UTC View PostI guess anyone can change with the proper encouragement. But, wait, who is that?? Why, it must be someone who strayed from the tour group.
Hey, I hope you all had a nice Memorial Day. Looking back, it really is worthwhile to take some time to appreciate what we have, and how we got it, and who worked hard so...
2018-06-01 18:21:59 +0000 UTC View PostHmm.
I'm terribly sorry for making everyone wait today. Although, ironically, I'm not nearly as sorry that I'll be making you wait even longer for the next page!
In accordance with tradition ("tradition" being a very loose term), I'll be taking Monday off in observance of Memorial Day ("observance...
2018-05-26 02:56:19 +0000 UTC View PostChag Sameach! As I understand it, that's the proper greeting for Shavuot. I'm trying not to miss any holidays or occasions as I wind the comic down. It seems important somehow.
But... wait. Who is that girl? Do we have time for new characters??

2018-05-14 04:56:33 +0000 UTC View PostHello again! Back to our Monday/Friday schedule. And that was the last hiatus ever. I mean, there's not very many pages left at all, so I can't possibly find room for another one! Right? Right?
Also, no, they're not all in the room with her when she opens her present. A certain amoun...
2018-05-11 04:21:43 +0000 UTC View PostOh, I've been foolish again. Since the beginning of Zebra Girl's Epilogue I've advertised its updates through Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, DeviantArt, Pinterest, and even Blogspot. But I've overlooked Patreon! The very vehicle by which so many of you generously support this comic month after month.<...
2018-04-28 23:36:54 +0000 UTC View PostWell, sometimes feedback makes a difference! You might have heard, but the folks in charge of Patreon have nixed the aforementioned plans to alter their fee structure, as announced in Jack Conte's post. So for now it looks like it's business as...
2017-12-15 02:46:11 +0000 UTC View PostBy now many of you have heard about Patreon's plans for revising their payment structure next month. If not, here's the gist of it: Patreon currently deducts transaction fees from the income creators receive. That's money taken from me, not you. Which I accept. Price of doing business, right?
But starting next month they m...
