But I'm A Cat Person

Chapter Six

Yeeeeaaaahhh, a lot of you saw this coming. Apparently I can only draw one kind of face for a middle-aged Jewish man.

At least it’ll make him easy to cast for the live-action movie…?

In other news, the Send BICP to Otakon fundraiser (the Kickstarter version, anyway) ends in under 8 hours…and has almost 2/3 of its funding goal! A few dollars here, a few dollars there, plus just one person willing to spring for the “original lineart” or “chance to name a Being” prize tiers, and we’d be fully funded. Help me, readers; you’re my only hope.

In other other news, BICP now has a Tumblr! It’s not required reading to understand the comic, any more than our Facebook page is; but it’ll have art and bonus (spoiler-free) ramblings about the characters, and you can ask questions and/or suggest related things to reblog, and it’ll all be very exciting, I’m sure.

Aaaaaand we have a print edition of chapter 3!

It’s bigger. It’s shinier. It has bonus art on every page, and a whole bunch of bonus text in the back. There are secret hints about where the story is going. There’s more of Timothy trying on jewelry. It’s even slightly cheaper. How can you resist?

Coursework, what’s that?

Today’s page will be arriving some time Thursday, pre-empted by the looming deadline on a half-finished paper. (Would you accept eight pages on the reliability of metadata in digital collections in lieu of a comic? Didn’t think so.)

In the meantime, And Shine Heaven Now has officially finished updating. If you want to take in the glorious complete archives, now’s the time.

New character pages!

If you want some help keeping track of faces, check out the new pages for Minor Characters and Miscellaneous Beings!

As usual, for even more information as the characters appear, check out their profiles in the back of the published issues. Issue 3 coming up soon — the proof copies are in the mail as you read this.

There are also new images on the main character page, including a few portraits of Masters past and present. Take a look.

Today’s comic will be posted this evening, because I’m busy at an internship and can’t get away with enough futzing around on the computer to finish it right now.

Have some cute Poe and Patrick to tide you over.

What’s this? Another print issue? It really must be the year of the apocalypse…

“Eh. I’ve seen scarier.”
—Tim the Enchanter

Your copy of But I’m A Cat Person issue #1 is probably starting to feel lonely there on the shelf. Don’t miss this chance to cheer it up!

Like the issue #2 ebook, the print version contains four pages of bonus content, including sketches, profiles, and behind-the-scenes info. Plus, cute new art on every page, and a cover you can’t beat for prettiness.

For the record, the Amazon CreateSpace version is my favorite. (The same edition is available through Amazon.com.)
