Sorry for the comic delays this week! I’ve been trying to make sure I can have the Volume 2 books ready for next weekend. I should be putting up another comic or two tonight, so there shouldn’t be a big schedule gap.
If you’re interested in picking up a copy of Imaginary Monsters Volume 2, stay tuned here or check out my etsy page in two weeks or so: http://imaginarymonsters.etsy.com
Everybody! I just wanted to share some thoughts I’ve been having on my mostly patchy updating schedule. When I started doing this comic I was posting daily updates on weekdays. This started during a time when I had a lot of free time and a really flexible schedule. Since this spring, updates have been pretty sporadic and I’ve been hard pressed to meet my original goal of daily comics, so I think for now I’m going to scale back to three new strips per week. That slows the pace of things more than I’d like to as far as progressing the story along, but I feel like I can handle the slightly lighter load better instead of going for an ideal great goal and falling short. So instead of that, let’s see how fewer but more consistent updates goes for now.
I’m going to try and do Monday–Wednesday–Friday updates, so you can check back during the week to see new things or wait until the weekend for three new strips.
I guess I’ll see you on Friday!
ps – there have been a ton of new spam comments lately. Maybe it’s just that the page has been around for about a year and wordpress blogs are likely targets to these things. I’m trying to keep the place clean for everybody, but there’s a lot of junk floating into my filter. Yuck.
I’ve been talking about them forever and looking at them for a while, but they’re finally available for you to check out for yourself. Behold Grizzledude on a t shirt:

The shirts are hand printed in water based iridescent green ink on Forest Green American Apparel tees. Right now I have sizes S, M, and L available. I didn’t print that many of these but I will do more Imaginary Monsters themed shirts soon and with broader sizing runs.
Special thanks to Marlene for modeling these for me!
This beast isn’t related to Imaginary Monsters, but I’m sure there’s some common interest out there among you readers. Ice cream zombie head face drippy cone!!!
It’s an 18″x24″ screen printed poster of an edition of 24 prints. Enjoy them!

I’m selling them for $5 before shipping. Each one you get is randomly selected from the ones pictured in the group shot, so if you like surprises this is for you! Also, each package includes a screen printed sticker.
Thanks everybody!
Another ‘thank you’ re-post. Monster Brains is an AWESOME monster art blog run by Aeron Alfrey (check out his super creepy work here: http://aeronalfrey.blogspot.com)

Sorry for the hold up on new comics, too. I’m free of freelance work now, so the forecast for next week shows a 90% chance of new comics .
