So most folks know I write a comic strip called the Pigpen about a queer polycule of a wolf and three big pigs. It was created by and is drawn by the super sweet and talented :icon Ecliptacafusion:.

Well, if you're on Clipey's Patreon, you'd have seen this comic we did featuring fan favorite supporting characters Kevin & Brent. It's super NSFW and has gay sex and pet play themes.

For details and to see two pages of previews check out the following links:

And Clipey's Patreon, which gives early access to strips, as well as lots of extra content, including this comic, can be found here.

Remember, this is just a preview. There's no plan to release any more pages publicly.

So here's my submission to the Voice of Dog podcast. I read my story Icarus Dreams, a Glass Heart, and Slippers to Take Me Home. I was pleased with how it came out. It was fun to do all the voices.

So I'm having bariatric surgery. If you want to know more, I wrote this stuff about it.

TL/DR: Be cool.

I am so excited to work on the Pigpen with Ecliptacafusion. I hope everyone will enjoy it!

Hey, folks. Sorry to be so quiet. I've been concentrating my writing into areas other than my own stories,s os I wanted to bring you up to date on a few things.

First off, if you're going to be at TinyPawsCon next weekend, find me and say hi! I love this little family con, and I can't wait to be there.

I'll also be at Furpocalypse in late October, and then AnthroNewEngland in February.

A lot of my writing time has been devoted to my beloved gaming blog. If you're into D&D and other tabletop RPGs, especially as the Gamemaster, you may want to check it out. It can be found at http://dmsden.tumblr.com

I also make a fair number of Twitter posts. If you follow me there, be warned...I cannot help but make political commentary fairly often, and I am a left-leaning liberal (if that weren't kind of obvious from my writing in Circles). If you do want to see what I'm up to at any given time, that's a good spot to do so. I'm there as aethanbear

I also have several secret projects in the works which I promise to tell you about as they become closer to reality. One is a collaboration with an artist that I'm VERY excited about. It's not a Circles project (I don't want to get folks' hopes up for that), but it's one I like a lot. Since I didn't create the world or the characters, I'm leaving it for the artist who did to make the formal announcement. As soon as I can talk about it, I promise I will. And the same goes for the other projects.

Until then, try to lremember to love each other. We're all we have.

Anyone I know live in the Netherlands, particularly Amsterdam?

‪I feel I can now let folks know what I've been going through. This past Thursday, I began having chest pains. In less than an hour, I was having a heart attack. I was out for over 15 minutes before the doctors resuscitated me. Amazingly, today I got to go home with no sign of arrhythmia or damage to my heart.‬

‪I feel incredible ‬relief and very humbled. I'm glad I didn't have to say goodbye to any of you fine furry folks or my family. Just wanted to let folks know that I'm okay.

Anthro New England, furry con in Boston, is this weekend. I will be there. Any of my followers going?

I'll be there starting pretty late on Friday night. Who's gonna be there?

Thanks to some furry friends cajoling me, I am actually going to be going. Who do I know that's also going?

I'm late to the game, but, if anyone likes to chat on Telegram and wants to talk, shoot me a PM. Be happy to show off my stickers. 😉

I'm planning on being there. Are you?

So, if I offered writing commissions, would anyone be interested? Not saying I will, but it's something I'm pondering. A little extra $$$ wouldn't hurt.

So it's virtually in my backyard, so I was more or less planning on going. Who else is heading that way?

Hey, all. Trying out the Furry Network Beta. You can find my stuff there at https://beta.furrynetwork.com/aethan Let me know if you're there, too.

I see frequent posts from folks I follow about them playing various MMORPGs. I have to say that, while I've briefly dabbled in a few, I have been on Lord of the Rings Online since its closed beta, and I'm still there.

If you're interested in playing with me, LOTRO is free to play. I'm on Landroval server, which is one of the servers that's surviving the upcoming world closure that's dropping US servers down to 5. It's the unofficial roleplaying server as well, and it has a great group of people.

If you're looking for me, I can be found as the hobbit minstrel Carroll Goodwine and the Beorning named Isengrymm. Hope to see you there!

I'm super-glad Rabbit Valley wanted to do this. I know people asked and asked for it, because they wanted to series in the form of all books. Now you can have all three sitting on your shelf, together. It also gave us the chance to fix a typo or two, clean up the shading for issue 8, and so on.

Hi, folks. If you like my writing, and you're interested in Tabletop RPGs, I've just created a new blog called "The DM's Den" over on Tumblr. Hope you'll come follow me there.

Forgot to say...got my copy of Circles: The Years Keep Rolling By this past weekend. What a relief to have it in my hands at last and know it'll soon be in the hands of the readers who've waited so patiently for it. I hope everyone enjoys the ending to the tale.

Now that it's officially announced, I'm happy to share the news that the final volume of Circles, "The Years Keep Rolling By", is available for pre-order. According to Rabbit Valley's website, orders containing the book will ship around January 8, 2015. It's been a long time coming, and I appreciate folks being so patient.

Hey, all. I can now return the compliment that K-9 paid me a ways back. I have now seen his art for the circles novel, and I can tell you that it is fantastic.

I've always loved Scott's art, but he has really outdone himself with this. I am so excited for you all to be able to have this book and have closure with these characters.

Bear in mind that now there comes a period of work, like layout, corrections, printing and so on, so it may still be a little while before you get to see the Kinsey Circle Boys again. Hang in there, though. I hope you'll feel that it was worth the wait.

We're almost there...

I will be there! Please feel free to say hi to me!

I guess it's been a while since I've had to invoke the mantra, but someone asked, so...

The Circles novel will be out when it's done.

As much as we love Circles, we all have very, very busy lives. My part, the writing, has been done since I took a week off, hid myself ways, and finished it.

Scott does not gave the leeway to take time away from his very busy job, so he is working on the illos as he gets a chance to.

When those're done, everything will get sent to Rabbit Valley to get formatted. Then we'll all get a chance to see a proof and make sure it looks the way we want it to.

Then it'll go back to the printer to be actually printed.

When that happens, we'll likely finally know the solid date of when it'll be available to buy. And when we do, we'll let everyone know.

Thanks for being interested, everyone.

Andy
