The Ink Panthers Show!

Originally published at mikedawsoncomics.com

I’ve begun putting up pages from my new comic, Troop 142. Right now I’ve got the prologue chapter, SUNDAY, posted, and have started putting up pages from the first chapter, cleverly titled MONDAY. I’ve got more of this book done, but a lot of it’s in various states of completion. My plan is to post the material as it gets finished.

I believe I talked on an episode of the podcast about how this particular story has been a bit of a stop-and-start struggle for me. My thinking is that putting the material out there will help me get over some of my mental blocks. I really want to avoid getting into the habit of continually restarting, which is something that’s happened a few times already.

Plus, I’d like everyone to have a chance to check out all my pretty pictures!

I should also add, the content is sort-of, kind-of, “Mature audiences”. It’s not too bad, yet, but is definitely a little coarser than Freddie & Me.

Hey, if you didn’t pick up my book, ACE-FACE yet, when I mentioned it was on sale at the publisher’s website for $4.95 last month, then you should totally for real order a copy of it now, because it’s been discounted further, along with a ton of other great AdHouse books. Now you can get it for a mere $3.95.

Come on, seriously now, this is good value. The book is 100 pages long! It features three stories starring the titular character, plus two Jack & Max shorts, and more. Longtime fans of the Ink Panthers Show! will enjoy the slice of life comics, where someone who looks and sounds a lot like me has to deal with noisy neighbors on his front steps…

I’ve posted a few samples of some newer drawings over on my blog.

Alex’s new book has been published this week. Look for it in finer bookstores, and consider picking a copy up for the little kid in your life. We’ll be recording a Special Christmas Episode in the coming week or so, where we’ll do nothing but discuss this book, so keep an eye out for that.

Read a preview.

My book Ace-Face: The Mod With the Metal Arms is still available at a discounted price of $4.95 at AdHouse’s website. If you haven’t checked out my work, this is a great place to start. 100 pages for five 5 dollars.
