Updates and Moving
Posted 3 months agoI know posts have been slow lately. I've been house hunting for the past couple of months and it's taken a ton of my time and energy. We finally found a place and will be moving the first week of September so my posts will be few and far between. Once we get resituated and I have a proper studio I'm hoping to get back to my regular schedule.
Website Warning
Posted a year agoHey folks! Website is borked and giving a google warning. I'm guessing it's due to an outdated plugin used for the comic format. Going to try switching to a new plugin but that will be a bit.
Absence -- Back soon!
Posted 2 years agoI haven't posted much. We had company over for a week a couple of weeks ago, all got COVID and I've been dealing with COVID related fatigue ever since. Getting better. Latest comic is inked and just needs color. It's the last comic of this story arc.
BlueSky!

Vacation

Late Comic
Posted 3 years agoAnother late comic week. On one hand I'm glad to be so busy but it does make sticking to a schedule for the comic that much harder. I did so good sticking to my Tuesday/Friday schedule but man, 2022 has been kicking my ass.
This storyline is wrapping up soon, followed by a little story that will follow up on Felix's invention then we're off to New Felidae!

Bigby's Passing
Posted 3 years agoUnfortunately my old boy and best friend Bigby passed away yesterday. It was the toughest decision I've ever had to make. He was my buddy for 14 yeas -- which is a long time for a Labrador Retriever. It seems so weird to not have him around.
Still, he had a good long life of swimming, fetch, treats and belly rubs.

Comic Schedule
Posted 3 years agoHi folks,
Comics have been a bit... off on their schedule of late. Work has been busy.
Unfortunately my older dog (14yo lab) has developed "old dog vestibular disease". Basically, doggy vertigo. He's pretty much incapacitated as a result -- no sense of balance, nausea, etc. As a result, most of my energy is going towards helping him be comfortable. Comic schedule may be touch and go here for a bit as a result of both that and my other job.
Hoping things get better soon.

Exam Update
Posted 4 years agoSo, an update on the exam.
I passed! Apparently in record time too!
So now, back to art!

No second comic this week (or next)
Posted 4 years agoHi folks!
I've been studying for a certification exam and working extra hours at the office which has made staying on top of comics pretty challenging. There will only be one comic this week and one comic next.
One of my extra work projects finished up this week, however, and my certification exam is on Tuesday (wish me luck!). After that, things should be back to normal. I'm also on vacation from Dec 16-Jan 4 so maybe I'll try to make up some lost comic time.

Posted 4 years agoHi folks,

Happy Anniversary!
Posted 4 years agoHappy 5th Anniversary Space Pawdyssey! The first page was originally posted July 15th, 2016!
Website is back up!
Posted 4 years agoFor those who haven't noticed, the website has not been updated in a few weeks. The database exploded on me and I couldn't update the site for a while. Fixed it today.
Another one comic week
Posted 4 years agoHi folks,
Once again, only one comic this week. Been a lot of overtime at work and a lot of vet visits for old Mr. Puppy (and stress and sleepless nights as a result).
The dog's doing much better.
Should have comics up soon.
The Space Pawdyssey website (spacepawdyssey.com) is also having some issues with Wordpress. Looking to get it fixed.

No Comic Today
Posted 4 years agoThis past week included a late night software deployment, my last day working for WW, Valentine's Day and Family Day. I took some much needed time to decompress and hang out with my husband.
That means Space Pawdyssey will be a little late this week and there will likely be just the one comic.
On a positive note, since I no longer work for WW, my Saturdays are now freed up. This will allow me to spend a bit more time on other things (including the comic) going forward!

Space Physics of Pawdyssey
Posted 5 years agoSo I get a LOT of feedback about Space Pawdyssey's sometimes inconsistent use of space physics and the like.
Space Pawdyssey is Star Trek. Star Wars. It is Macross and Galaxy Express. Classic old 80's space cartoon Sci-Fi. It is a love letter to the cartoons I watched when I was a kid growing up. It follows similar (although flawed) logic.
It is not Gravity. It is not The Martian.

Artists on Twitter - Don't do this
Posted 6 years agoI've had to unfollow a couple of artists on twitter because of the flood of retweeted political posts.
Sharing your political views is fine. I don't mind the insight. The issue is when your feed is 90% reblogged posts, you are no longer a Twitter feed for your art - you're a political news aggregator. This is especially frustrating when your twitter handle is something like @yourname_art, yourname_draws.
Start another twitter profile for that. Maybe call it @yourname_personal, yourname_politics or yourname_will_pollute_his_followers_feeds_with_political_reblogs.

Getting near the end!
Posted 6 years agoThe latest story arc is nearing it's end and man it has been a long run.
20 or so pages left - tops. Hope everyone has enjoyed the journey!

Updates
Posted 6 years agoFor those curious, Volume 2 is still waiting on cover art. It will cover pages 114-212 (98 pages) -- slightly smaller than Volume 1.
Volume 3 will cover 213 to the end of the hijacking arc (81 pages and counting) and will probably the largest volume. The story should be completed by the end of this year with comic itself getting published in early 2020.
Volume 4 will start out with a couple small stories mostly centered around Felix before heading into one of two directions (I haven't decided) but will likely involve a visit to New Felidae.
October will be the launch of Pico Vol 4. For those interested, there will be a 10 page black and white story in that volume. The first short story will be about Felix and take place sometime in the Space Pawdyssey Vol 4 timeframe. I'm hoping to conitnue these going forward -- offering them as rewards to Patrons prior to them being published as part of Pico or as part of other publications.
There will likely not be any pages published Sept 19-25 as I'll be vacationing for a week. I shattered my tablet screen so I won't be able to work even if I wanted to :<
I may try bringing some ink and pens though...

Getting married this week!
Posted 6 years agoSo I'm getting married this coming Friday!
Might be a missing comic next week as a result :V

Rowan and Grant
Posted 6 years agoI'm enjoying finally having a story line for Rowan. She's been getting more and more time over the last little bit and it's nice to just put a giant spotlight on her for a little while. I'm also enjoying writing Grant -- a ruthless criminal who also wants to reconnect with his daughter. It's an opportunity to round out her character a bit while also humanizing what will inevitably be one of Space Pawdyssey's bad guys.
Space Pawdyssey will be in PICO #4
Posted 6 years agoSpace Pawdyssey is currently scheduled to be in Pico #4. That means a black and white 10 page Space Pawdyssey strip will be published as part of the PICO Anthology comic. Issue #4 will be space themed and will include artist friends of mine such as Dingsbums, Kaoru and Gonechoo.
You can find out more about PICO at https://twitter.com/ComicPico and support them on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/PicoComic
I'll be posting Page 1 here as a teaser but the remaining pages will only be available to my patrons prior to Pico #4 being published.

Late Comic
Posted 6 years agoHi folks,
The second comic this week may be MIA. I've had a few social obligations and housekeeping work I've needed to catch up on and with everything else on the go -- recent vacation, travel, etc -- the backlog of things I've got to do has gotten pretty big.
So there may not be a comic Thursday/Friday. It's entirely possible that I'll pull a rabbit out of my hat again but if I don't, there should be a comic posted next week!
