Comic Updates, New Store, and Beautiful Stuff

It’s been a good summer, but also a turbulent summer. A summer that has taken a toll on my update schedule.

Between teaching classes, running tables at conventions, hosting numerous groups of out-of-town relatives, and some light travel, I found it impossible not just to obtain a comic schedule, but to even find time to draw every day. That kind of disruption is not acceptable to me. The fact that I am finally able to put my habits and routines back to rights is a source of great relief .

For you readers, it must be scary having a comic slow down so close to the end. I am learning that endings can be difficult and fragile to create. I understand why so many webcomic authors never complete their finales, despite their best intentions. However, Urban Underbrush will not be one of those comics.

If you missed the announcement, Urban Underbrush will update on Mondays and Thursdays until it’s complete (Draconis Wicked is taking a short break until then). For those of you who are counting down, there are fifteen Urban Underbrush strips left after today (unless I change the script, which is not likely at his point.) I’d love increase that update schedule for the final week or so, but I can’t make any promises just yet.

Meanwhile, I have found the time to set up the long awaited LEPUS STUDIOS STORE! I’m selling of some of the merch from my summer conventions, so even if you didn’t get a chance to see me, you still get a chance to view my wares. For example, if you always wanted your own March Hare Jackrabbit, the fleece rabbit puppets are still available.

I’ve also got some of my graphic work from Super Smash Opera in the mix. Posters, magnets, and buttons will be available as soon as I can recover them from storage.

And speaking of Super Smash Opera stuff, we also have a T-shirt for sale on Tee Spring right now! There are three styles and five colors to choose from, so you are sure to find one that suits you. The shirt is only available until September 2 so act fast.

More stuff and more comics are on the way so keep checking in and keep reading.
