And now a dream sequence :D It’s just comin’ up “favorite things for me to write/draw” right now.
Took the longest time for to settle on the color palette for the dream. I think I painted those panels at least 3 times.

I’m sure most of you know already, but I’m one of the artists working on the Erstwhile fairy tale comic series and we’re currently running a Kickstarter drive to raise money to print a hardcover collection of our first five stories.
If you like my work, you like fairytales, or you just like supporting indie comics, please check it out! There are donation incentives offered for a variety of price ranges, including pages of original comic art, a limited print run of my out-of-print Frog Prince comic, and custom art!
Ff, it’s not like we haven’t been waiting a year for them to kiss or anything ;)
Well, a year and change, technically.
For those who aren’t on deviant art, I drew a little thing to celebrate the anniversary of the strip back in March (which… I thought I had linked before? How did I not link this before!?). You can see it here:
Happy 1st Year, Missing Monday!
I feel very pleased to have reached the one year mark with this comic and to look behind me and see such a massive stack of vellum and think “those are all pages for this!” I had the hardest time getting this comic off the ground once I settled upon the idea of doing it (history of this comic: blog post for another time!), so to see it finally start to shape into a real thing is very exciting to me. I look forward to another year of storytelling!
In unrelated news… Now that I’m settling into the WordPress site, I’ve started to go back into my archives and add transcriptions when I have some free time. The transcriptions I’ve had time to make are pretty spartan with an emphasis on dialogue, but I am definitely open to feedback or suggestions for how to improve.
There are other features I want to add to the site, as well, but… well… top priority is getting the comic done each week! So we’ll see when I have time to tweak to the site :)
Well.
Changing over the site ended up being a bit more… intense than I originally anticipated (I should have done this long ago and not waited until the verge of my first anniversary. Oops!). We’re starting new without the archive of news posts and without the few little notes I made on comic pages last year, but otherwise everything ported over smoothly.
I need to step away from web details and catch up on actual comic making for a little while now, but I’d ultimately like to flesh the site out soon, add more content other than strictly comic pages. Soon, soon.
In the meantime, please enjoy the comic!
Hi all!
So I’m transitioning Missing Monday from one comic database to another, and unfortunately this is the sort of thing that has to be done manually in a very time-consuming way (my logic: it will not get easier as I add more content ^_^;;).
Please bear with things as I shuffle them around over the next few days – my goal for tonight was to get content back up, tomorrow night I will rebuild the layout.
Thanks for your patience! Things should be smooth sailing by the next update next week :)
