Ice Storm!

Thursday Night we got hit by a hell of an Ice Storm! Trees snapping off under the weight of frozen ice clinging their branches.
Trees across the driveway blocking us from even getting out!
Power is still out, and I hear it could be as long as Tuesday before we get it back.

Living without the convenience of Electricity is always interesting. It can even be a little fun, when it last a day. Longer then that, and the impact is pretty significant, especially in the winter.

My wife and I built my house a year and a half ago on our 17 acres in Western Massachusetts. On a side note, that was one of the most enjoyable and rewarding experiences of my life. You often hear the saying "Build a house, loose a spouse." But my wife and I had a great time.

During the construction, the Phone Company, who is in charge of placing poles, jerked us around and around and as a consequence, no pole meant no power. So I built the house with a generator. Since I had the generator, I had my Electrician put in a panel that would let me run the house on it, when the power goes out.

Only problem, last time I tried to get it started, I failed.

I hauled it out of the shed, dragged it (Two flat tires) across the yard, around the back of the house into position. I dumped a thing a dry gas into the tank and started pulling on the cord.
To my surprise, I got it started up after only 30 or 40 pulls.

So we ran the generator for 8 hours last evening.
Still no phone, and still no internet... well what do I do with my time.

I drove out of the hills into the nearest large town to find a little internet, my world right again.

PREORDER

I've added PART 3 PDF to the store. You can support the series by purchasing a digital copy for only a couple of bucks.

Also just opened up PREORDER. Books will ship in February.

For the month of December, I've marked down the regular price of $15.00 for VOLUME 1 to just 13.00. Come January 1st and this discount will end.


Happy Holiday
Terrence

Wow... It's been a month...

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while!
Not very good about that I guess...

Not to fear, Part Three is now underway!

We open on Jeb and Sophia in the Elevator...

Translation

I would like to offer the digital Issues of Sophia in Spanish! Perhaps even other languages in the future.

But first, I need to translate the text so I can reletter the Issues.

If you or someone you know would like to get involved in the translation, drop me an email.

New Penciler!

Well, it was a hard decision to make, but after sifting through all the great artist who responded to my plea for help, it's done.

I think that Luis Czerniawski will be able to match closely Andres Guinaldo's previous work.

As a treat for you, here's a quick character sketch of Sophia he sent me.

Drunk Duck!

Hey,
I found out on Monday that the kind folks over at Drunk Duck, where I am also posting the series, are Featuring me this week.

That was great news, and the swell of webtraffic, 18,000 hits on Monday, has been great!

Welcome everyone who has found their way here.

Thanks,
Terrence

Too long since my last post.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while.
Life is always busy, but I should have said something...

The 2nd Issue of Sophia is now available for folks who want to have the comic in a High Res PDF. You can get the 1st Issue as well! Remember, a few dollars can go along way to supporting the series.

I have had a few request now for printed copies of the 1st Issue. It wasn't my intention to release the story individually in print, but rather as a collection as Graphic Novels. However, if people would like, I think I can get them up for sale on Indy Planet.

No update as of yet for a new penciler. Still looking.

The 3rd Issue is currently being inked, and is slated to be complete in about a month.

Thanks for your support,
Terrence

Wo is me...

Well folks,

I've got a little bit of bad new.
My Penciler, Andres Guinaldo, whose work I have just loved, has been stolen away by the promise of financial prosperity.

The dark side has claimed him as their own... and offered him a lot more money then what I have been able to pay him.

Good for him, he deserves it, and as sad as I am, I wish him the best.

No need to panic, I still have over 40 pages from him yet to be posted, but I am on the prowl.

If you know a penciler whose talents would be great for this series, or if you're that artist yourself, please contact me at terrence@parasitepublishing.com

Thanks,
Terrence

Great Webcomic.

Hi Everyone,

I want to share a link with you to a webcomic I recently read, and will continue to read.
The Artist/Writer contacted me a week ago, asking for a banner so she could link to me. Of course I gave her the link, and then went looking for her comic.

It's worth the read.

Promotional Image

Hey Everyone,

I thought I'd share an image I've had drawn by Andres with you.

This image is going to be used as a display banner for use at the Conventions next year, but I still haven't had it inked or colored yet.

Thanks,
Terrence

Issue #2

Well, it has been a long time coming, but it looks like the High Resolution PDF of Issue #2 will be available for purchase by next weekend.

I'll send out an email to everyone who has joined my mailing list when it becomes available.

Please remember, your purchase of the High Res Pdf files, which are are gorgeous by the way, helps support this comic, making it possible for me continue to bring this series to you.

Issue #3 is slated to be complete by the middle of October, and Issue #4 by the end of December.

I'll be putting the Graphic Novel, Volume One, which contains the first 4 Parts to the story, up for Preorder in November. It will ship in January.

Thanks,
Terrence

Impending Blog Posts

Hey everyone,

My dog got a face full of porcupine spears this morning. It wasn't fun for him, and wasn't fun for us, pulling them out. Ouch! I sure hope he learns that lesson.

I'll be posting a few things over the weekend.

Thanks,
Terrence

Vote for Sophia!

Hi everyone,

Just putting out a request for anyone who enjoys the comic to give me a vote on Buzzcomix.

You might have noticed this button on the website that says "Vote"

Vote often, I'd be most grateful.

Thanks,
Terrence

I've finished uploading the new site. Every thing seems to be working.
If you find anything out of place or just plain broken, give me a shout.
