Life updates and comic reveals for March/23 (Patreon)
Content
Hello my dearest patrons,
There's no way to properly justify my absence in the last few weeks, but I'll try and at least explain what happened.
I've been dealing with severe mental health issues since the passing of a dear relative of mine. They were facing the terminal stage of Alzheimers disease and his passing took many months, which presented a heavy toll on my entire family.
I had no idea a person could still be alive with as little of SIX heart beats per minute for several weeks, but I was harshly educated on it during this time.
Well... it's over now.
I've been regrouping my own mind during the fallout of this experience but I figured it was way past time to write you all and give some sort of info on what's going on.
Meanwhile, I used whatever creative energy I had to keep the ongoing projects afloat, working with my artists as best as I could, but you can imagine how challenging and slow-paced that was, right?
And I know I could've written at least a few words to you guys during this time, but I had no idea how long the situation would last and didn't want to keep making empty promises like I've been for the last months.
To be fully honest, these last two years have been extremely challenging in all sorts of ways and for more than a dozen times I've considered giving up and simply closing up shop.
But at the of the day, I still like doing these comics and I hope to keep releasing them for as long as I can, so for now, I'll keep trying until I won't anymore.
All that being said, I'm dividing my current efforts in writing stuff for March and April while also working on the final editorial and letterings for the delayed comics that were announced in these last few months.
Give me a week more so I can plan out a feasible schedule for their releases and I'll focus my energy on sending you the amazing stories that me and my artists have been working on all this time.
Also, below is a description for the new rewards for March/23. I'll send you guys the selection forms for this term by next week. Attached are the initial layouts for the cover, which are sill in production and will be updated in a few weeks.
MARCH/23 REWARDS:
ROCK AND PURR
Rock and roll, baby! Felicia Hardy, the BLACK CAT, is officially Peter Parker's girlfriend, and he's taking her out to a concert! Now, while they're at an amazing performance from Gwen Stacy's awesome band, they kinda get in the mood for some risky sexual relief and... Wait! Is that a certain meta-narratively challenged blonde eagerly watching them?

STUNNING HOWLS #2
While investigating a suspicious warehouse in Brooklyn, Felicia Hardy makes a disturbing discovery: The Woofing Boys have been trafficking unlicensed Black Cat-themed, ultra-realistic Sex Dolls. Distracted by her findings, Felicia gets knocked out and regains conscience much later, while at the total mercy of the criminals. And they're gonna make her pay, turning her from a nosy kitty into their gang's bitch.

Once again, I have no words to tell you guys how much I appreciate your patience and trust on keeping supporting me during these slow production times.
I guarantee that whatever happens, ALL ANNOUNCED COMICS WILL BE EVENTUALLY DELIVERED, no matter how long it takes, even if I ultimately decide to close up shop somewhen in future.
So, for now...
Thank you, really!
More talk, soon.
Kindly,
-Tracy.
