And, just like that, Alan’s (careless) wish topples the enemies’ plan. Or, does it…? Regardless, Bear is in for a world of hurt.
Also, sorry for the tardiness. PrettÃo has been pretty spot on with delivery of late, but I have been napping at the controls. Last night, I passed out around 8:30 my time, woke up for a bit, then passed out again at 12:30AM.
On the financial side of things, sadly, we didn’t make it this month. But that’s ok because the story continues to move forward. After all, we still have the bottom tier. 😉 However, if current patrons stick around at their current levels, and we can get get $30 more, the juggernaut returns to 2x per week. And also remember: Peppermint Saga (the original) is kinda on hold if we don’t make third tier. I know a number of you seemed interested in that. Rather than suffer the burden alone and hurt your own finances trying to make up the gap, be sure to share, blog, Tweet and tell everyone you know about this series. Reddit gave us a nice shot in the arm for the holidays, but even that was not to be forever.
Speaking of forever… any of you guys interested in purchasing a full resolution PDF of Ship in a Bottle as your uh, *cough* New Year’s “resolution” this year (yep, that marketing line was hard even for me to write. I can only imagine how it is for you to read XD)? Well, look no further! Episode 1: “Dreaming of Genie” is now available in high resolution PDF via DriveThru Comics! CLICK HERE! In it, you will find the story as presented here on site, but with corrected spelling (And grammar if I caught it) and full resoultion versions of PrettÃo’s magnificent pinups that launched a thousand hits! If this is successful, combined with the Patreon and ad revenue earned around the site, not only can we give you MORE Ship in a Bottle goodness, I can finally give PrettÃo the raise she so richly deserves for saving our asses week after week. So please consider getting your copy today. (Patrons will still receive individual pages and story segments at higher resolution as they come out, so you don’t have to support us both ways unless you really, really want to)

Welcome to Drive-Through Comics, the new sponsor here! I’ve already made three purchases, including the pdf you’ve pimped to us. Too bad their site doesn’t have a “How Did You Discover Us?” survey.
…
Reading the pdf of the first 31 pages is noticeably easier and smoother than clicking through link after link, and I consider the price tag of $4.99 to be well worth it, although the download time seemed kind of long at 5 minutes.
…
Seems like a good site for comics. Too bad they don’t have “KoDT: Bundle of Trouble” vol. 2 and 3, though. They offer most of the other volumes, and I already have the first one in paperback, so those would have been my next choice.
EDIT: Okay, they do have Volume 3. I’d still want to get them in order, though.
Yeah. Part of it is the actual publisher (aka the “artist” in most cases lol) getting off their duff and making it happen. It’s taken me quite some time to figure out the logistics and presentation before I committed. Otherwise, we might have gotten off the ground sooner.
Next offering will be Peppermint Saga: Blue-Gray Rhapsody Vol. 1, consisting of Eps. 1-3, production art and a new cover by yours truly. I’m hoping to have it up in the next week or so.
Cool; let us know and I’ll order it! You’ll make a sale and get credit for the link.
(does that mean you award yourself a cut of the sale?)
I wouldn’t pay for a physical copy, though; I have enough items in my life right now.
I’ll make a direct link to avoid that confusion. XD
Speaking of, I sent a rather lengthy note to you on DA outlining some stuff relevant to your interests. Check it out. 😉
Super Ship! Not to be confused with Skibladnir (Norse mythology ship that can fold up and sails on it’s own if directed). That’s a pretty awesome ship, but Ship is still better with her wish granting powers of magical goodness and all.
Also, Mace, you wrote “resoultion” prior to mentioning PrettÃo’s pinups. Who said correct spelling? Hehe.
Happy New Year’s everyone!
In the book itself 😉
I know, I was just poking fun at you mentioning correcting spelling (and possibly grammar) then following it with an easy to spot mistake.
What can I say? I’m a bit of a grammar nazi. I blame it on years and years of verbal and written miscommunication giving me a word fixation 😛
As an example of what I tend to do: synonyms mean the same thing but not the EXACT same thing. One synonym might be better than another because of this tiny, tiny difference and that can actually alter the meaning in a sentence quite a lot.
Take any sentence with ‘warm’ and replace it with ‘hot’. People get a completely different interpretation just because you swapped out a synonym!

Because I see your fantastic sense in movies!
God…. I need to watch a Bilko movie x.x
