Howdy guys! I'm back with a brand new comic, the follow up to Cloak & Dagger, Challenge of the Crystal Kingdom! I debuted this story earlier this year at TCAF and now you guys will get to read it here!

The first update is a big one with the first 9 pages to really get the ball rolling, but future updates will be a page or two every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Look forward to it!

And what's next you ask? Well, I've definitely been working on SOMETHING a lot y'all have been asking me about for, well, years now...

Oh boy, not another one...
So, if you don't mind, I need to say that you forgot to hit the bell button to send the notification to any of your subscribers (it happens, it happens a lot), probably no one saw this post here, besides me, that came to see your profile page to know if there was any new note about it and... well, the only notification I receive was the one that says you have a new comic on Tapas, so here I am! :oD
Oah! Do:
Was it more than a year ago? DoX
Man, the time sure flies fast! Xo]
So, welcome back! :oD
And I hope everything is working out for you! >u<)b

Thanks for tip, my dude! It's been a while since I've used Tapas, so a lot of stuff has certainly changed!

maybe you already told this at one point,..
but will spookydate ever continue?

yes! chapter three is all written out and I have outlines for four and five written as well. most of my recent art time this year has been spent drawing and writing Cloak & Dagger and commission work here and there, as well as traveling to a lot of cons and festivals. trust me when I say a lot of the work I've been doing will help to make Spookydate bigger and better than it already is

so do not worry, for Spookydate WILL return! I'm happy to know I have a captive audience, so I'll make sure not to disappoint.

Greetings faithful readers!

Due to circumstances outside my control, there will be no update today to Cloak & Dagger (the short version is, I have no internet at home), but that being said, when I can update, I will do a special double update to make up for missing the mark.

Thanks for your patience and patronage!

Cloak & Dagger officially has over 100 subscribers! Wow! Thanks for reading guys! :)

This is a small milestone but a huge one too. I'm very grateful for the small group of y'all dedicated to keeping up with my comics, and I hope you enjoy the rest of my newest one--

And for you old-school fans of mine, Spookydate WILL return...

Hey guys! Just an update that I recently created an itch.io page for some of my comics and other upcoming digital products! If you're enjoying Cloak & Dagger so far, you can go download the entire book now over on the page.

Check it out and keep an eye out for some more updates.

Happy November, everyone!

Just wanted to let you guys know that production on chapter 3 of Spookydate is fast underway right now. Get ready, cuz it's going to be a BIG story for Craig and Mo!

If you're behind, don't sweat it-- you can read all of chapters one and two on Tapastic right now. So binge readers, your time is NOW.

I also wanted to give you guys a heads up and let you know that I rearranged some stuff on my Patreon page and plan to throw some new updates on there soon. If you want to help me out a bit and get some rewards along such as exclusive Spookydate tarot cards, custom postcards, and entry into art raffles, just head on over to my Patreon and donate whatever you want. It's cool.

Thanks for reading, guys, and stay tuned because Spookydate is just getting started!

Happy Sunday, readers!

Sorry that updates have been a little spotty this week-- especially since the story's really been picking up here right now! I've been going back and recoloring this current chapter of Spookydate while I've also been drawing the second half of it at the same time.

I've got the rest of the chapter drawn and inked and I'm started to think about plans for the next chapter (it's going to be a good one!), but I also still have a part time job and some other freelance jobs that need to come first.

So you guys can look forward to the conclusion of the story through the end of the month as we actually near Spookydate's first anniversary in October!

Thanks again so much for reading, commenting, and sharing with your friends-- its readers like you that make dedicating the time to this comic worth it!

-JC

Hey! I saw you had pencil pouches at Omegacon, where did you get those made? (I love Spookydate by the way!)

Hey thanks! :)

I get a lot of my stuff printed from ArtsCow

Good morning, all!

I just got back from Omegacon and boy are my arms tired--

But in all seriousness, I'm sure a lot of y'all have been wondering where the heck I've been all week; I'd been getting ready for a big convention so I was running around, getting stuff made, getting stuff printed, and generally just not really being around my computer for long.

So as a little treat for you guys today, I've gone ahead and uploaded the last few strips of the first chapter of Spookydate. Of course this means its time to start up on Chapter 2 soon-- which due to popular demand I will upload correctly this time one or a couple strips at a time instead of updating the same page over and over. Get excited, and thanks a ton for all your support and readership so far, you guys are the REAL superstars.
