Holiday Newsletter: Oh Boy
Well howdy. It’s… well it’s sure been a year, and it’s not over yet, huh? We’ve got a couple important updates to make for the holiday season that prompted me to get writing.
Canada Post Strike
Here’s the big thing. Canada Post, the courier we use to ship out everything, is on strike. We support the postal workers 100%. They are currently fighting for basic human rights, and we want them to get everything they’re asking for. You can find out how to support them here.
This does put a major dent in our holiday sales. So as a heads up: we can still process physical orders, we just can’t send them out until the strike is over. There’s also a high chance delivery will be delayed afterwards. I hope you all can understand and lend us some patience.
To be candid, this is a tough situation for us. We rely a lot on holiday sales, and our etsy shop sales were already down considerably. (In true etsy fashion, they’re asking for people to pay even more money so that they can be discovered on the platform, which we refuse to do.)
However! If you want to avoid this, we do offer a lot of digital goods on our shop. We have PDFs for pretty much everything. Our comics, our prose, our zines, our artbooks–all at 5 bucks! If you can, picking up a couple PDFs from us would be really huge for us right now.
We also have a Patreon where you can support us, too. More on that below!
Lab Partners
This has been teased all year, but the both of us have been finally buckling down on our next 18+ comic: Lab Partners. Here’s a teaser page:
The comic follows Dr. Edwina “Eddie” Lovejoy and her rival, Dr. Percival Kline. The two are always getting on each other’s nerves, and yet can’t help but enjoy “studying” each other. Eddie has created a new serum that grants her ultimate focus… but when that focus is drawn to Kline, well, they simply have to help her study the “side effects”.
The story will release on Patreon first, when it’s complete, to the NSFW tier. We’ll be posting teasers and sketches until then! After that, it’ll go up on our shop as a PDF!
Pintopia
Hey remember that thing? Winter participated this year and made their Seven Deadly Pins set. Well, the both of us our putting our hat in the ring next year! Mostly so we could also collab with our cool friends!
Winter will be making their redux of their Greek Mythology pins, and I’ll be making some cute little harpies!
You can find the teaser pages here and here, to follow along for when we launch in January!
You can also follow our collab partners, Fairylogue Press’s Shiny Trinket Crow Time pins, and Mycorrhiza’s Sky Thieves pins!
Conventions/Markets
We have a handful of holiday markets we’ll be attending soon! Including one at the end of this very week!
Noël Jouissif – Montréal, QC // November 21-23
Crossover Comics Support Local Day – Montréal, QC // November 30
MTL Mini Comiccon (Holiday Edition) – Montréal, QC // December 7 & 8
Montreal Maker’s Market XXXMas – Montréal, QC // December 14 & 15
Supporting us at these shows is also a huge help for anyone local! <3
Alright, that’s all I got for now. Promise the next newsletter will be a little more… upbeat? I hope? I definitely would like to make our little yearly wrap-up and chat about what we’re planning for 2025. So look forward to that!
Thanks for reading!
