This weekend is the Wizard World Comic Con in St. Louis and I’ll be hanging out in Artist Alley with my lovely husband James Hornsby and our crafting bro Jeffrey Johnson! This convention is extra special, because I’ve got super-awesome copies of Fizzlebit in tasty 6×9 book form, plus Fizzlebit coloring books!

These books have passed the Rocky the Cat approval test.

These are the final copies for the proofs that I hinted at last post and they came out looking great! Volume one of Fizzlebit collects chapters one and two, plus all the extra stuff featured in the digital copies of those chapters. The comics are reproduced in glorious color, and it has that nice 6×9 book-ish weight that I enjoy. (I am a bit of a book nerd).

For the coloring books, I collected all of the current coloring pages from the past several months. I also drew lots of brand-new activity pages, including a word search, find the differences, and a connect the dots! Which are actually kinda weird and difficult to make, by the way. Plus, every coloring book includes a FREE MINI BOX OF CRAYONS, HECK YEAH!

I’ll also have some shiny new Princess Pups buttons, plus a buncha minicomics!

Super colorful Princess Pups buttons!

Speaking of Princess Pups, the fine folks at Ink and Drink will be debuting the new anthology Juice Box, which features a short Princess Pups comic I did as the second story in the book! There’s also a few Fizzlebit coloring pages throughout, plus lots of other great all-ages, kid friendly comics and activities! I should have a few copies to sell, but if I don’t, you can find them over at Booth 312.

So if you’re in St. Louis and don’t have anything going on this holiday week, come on by to Wizard World and pay me a visit! 🙂

As some of you may be aware, I rebooted Fizzlebit back in August of last year. The main idea was to get the story flowing the way it needed to, refocus parts that had lost their way, and patch some holes that kept me from making the connections I needed in later chapters. Part of this involved changing the way comic updates were posted, using updates based on jokes/story elements happening instead of always doing a full comic book style page (unless it warranted it).

This update style makes things easier for when I start up on brand new chapters as far as keeping a good schedule, but it’s making it take FOOOOREEEEEVAR to get caught up to where I have a brand new chapter instead of the rebooted pages (granted, there have been many, many new pages created as part of the reboot, but this isn’t the same as brand new chapters of the comic)

Not making brand-new everything pages makes me more tired than an overworked Applejack.

So, in order to move things along as a wrap up the reboot work for Chapter Four, which is the chapter that sorely needs the most work, I’ve decided to alter the update schedule for Chapter Three so that there are five, count them, FIVE updates a week! That’s Monday – Friday of Fizzlebit adventure goodness! This will help us get to Chapter Four much sooner, and who knows? Maybe Chapter Four will have a more robust schedule as well. We shall see. 🙂
