Monday, Monday...

August 26th - via: kickstarter.com
With 8 days on the clock, the project isn't just funded, but has a couple hundred dollars of safety net!  Again, thank you all so much.  Remember, if we get another $800, it'll unlock a great six-page mini-comic, drawn by Dan Shive, for every... (Read More)

Great Googly Moogly!

August 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
I went to bed last night relatively pleased, but I woke up OVER THE MOON. We made it! The Gospel of Carol is getting drawn, and it's getting drawn RIGHT. With ten days left on the clock, I guess now would be a good time to chat about stretch goals?... (Read More)

Press!

August 21st - via: kickstarter.com
Today's update is short and sweet.  Carol got a bit of press, thanks to Fleen, bastion of webcomic bloggery.  Thanks, Gary! If you see Carol mentioned anywhere, or feel compelled to talk about the project on your own site, please let me know!... (Read More)

The Bit About The Shoes Sounds Useful In A Variety Of Circumstances

August 21st - via: fleen.com
I first met Matt Lubchansky at NYCC a couple years ago via the kind introduction of one Jon Rosenberg¹ and have followed the various comics that he produces since. Much as I like the laugh-chuckles of Please Listen To Me, I find that his collaborations are even better and he’s got a doozy of a collaboration with Mallory Ortberg today. I wasn’t familiar with The Toast, where said collaboration is running today, so thanks to Hey Pais’s Sara McHenry for the pointer. (Read More)

Preview Strip VII

August 18th - via: kickstarter.com
I decided to draw another little Carol strip today. It takes place shortly after a Friday that, from Carol's point of view, wasn't particularly good.  And, by the by, we're stuck at 60% with 16 days on the clock, so keep spreading the word!  It's... (Read More)

60% Funded, 17 Days Remaining! That doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room to achieve our goal, so keep spreading the word! And now, I return to chatting about my library of research material. Today, I just wanted to briefly mention that Oscar Wilde, one... (Read More)

Just A Little Art

First, I wanted to say that I am GOBSMACKED.  Due to an incredibly generous backer yesterday, the project is now at 60%!  We've got 18 days on the clock, so let's keep the number growing! Second, I don't have much of an update for you today, but I... (Read More)

Stretching Carol's Legs

August 15th - via: kickstarter.com
First things first: I was asked for more details about the $800 Cameo Reward, so I posted a bunch of info about it in the FAQ. That should clarify things! Basically, with that reward, you get to follow Carol around everywhere in the second half the... (Read More)

I'll get back to the Carol Library in a bit, but I thought you'd like to know a little bit more about how the comic will end up being structured. At this point in time, I intend to create the series as standard black and white, twenty-two page comic... (Read More)

The Carol Library, Part 1

August 11th - via: kickstarter.com
I've never done as much research before any project as much as I have for Carol. I've already dumped a lot of my own money into building a reference library for the comic, looking into period fashion, locations, events, and stories. My primary focus... (Read More)

Literary Inspiration

Morning, all! Today I thought I'd talk about the origins of Carol and where the idea for this project came from. Some of you may know that I draw a bunch of other comics online. One of them is called Lit Brick, and it's an on-going parody of all the... (Read More)
