Posted on October 22, 2024 by liz

A huge thank you to the Write Anyway Summit for provoking some deep thoughts, and to Eileen Gunn who came up with this line as we were discussing the summit!

Thanks to all my patrons and a special big extra thanks to Kate Webb, Erik Owomoyela, Stuart Barrow, Jesse the K, Brian Fies and Tracey Radford.

Chuffles Misses the Moon, and so it begins

Posted on October 7, 2015 by liz
And now in the month of Halloween, of transition and change I give to you Chuffles Misses the Moon. Every week day I’ll put up a fresh page from this children’s picture book I drew. THE FIRST EVER CHILDREN’S PICTURE BOOK I’VE DRAWN, unless you count the things I did when I was actually a kid. Drawing something in this format was a new learning experience for me. I’d love any notes or comments you have as the updates go up. I might try self publishing it when it’s done so folks can have something in hand to read to kids (OMG, the idea of something I’ve written being a bedtime story… kinda amazing). If I self publish I’d love you, my dear ones, I’d love your help to turn it up to eleven before we go to print. Please enjoy, Chuffles Misses the Moon.

Special Request: Fresh Bunson Stencil!

Carving pumpkins for halloween? Try this pumpkin bunson! There is also last year’s Bunson’ stencil, though that one is a wee bit trickier with half carved stuff for texture!

Joyfully Uncanny Things Need Your Kickstarter Support

Posted on August 30, 2015 by liz
Originally posted over at lizargall.com In March I read a short story by Kat Howard over at Uncanny Magazine called Translatio Corpus. I liked the story so much that the Things responded to it.
Kat Howard's Uncanny Magazine story is responded to be things webcomic characters
This is also a call back to one of the earliest Things comic, Spoons!
  After a very successful first year Uncanny is running a Kickstarter to support year two (and asking for a lot less money as wonderful Patreons and Weightless Books e-subscribers come on board). They would like your money and will use it to bring more wonderful diverse stories, poems and non-fiction to the world. If Uncanny makes it through all the stretch goals there will be a Things Respond to Fiction comic for EVERY EPISODE. We are so excited about this on so many levels. We are so honored to be part of the Kickstarter. Less than 10K to go at 16 days, not an easy goal, but most definitely doable. Join the Space Unicorn Corps! Go check out the Kickstarter!
Things Webcomic #14, back when I was learning how to do everything… so some things don’t change in 13 years, still needing to learn everything!

Bear Facts

Sometimes the creator of the Things is commissioned to make art for other things. This was an illustration for the Norwegian American Weekly’s short story, “Bear Facts.“
