But I'm A Cat Person

Chapter 1 hits the e-stands!

The ebook version of Chapter 1 is now available!

Features bonus content on every single page. That’s right: since the original strips aren’t tall enough to fit any of the available page sizes, they all left a huge chunk of blank space along the bottom. Your humble cartoonist sprang into action, and that space is now filled with random character doodles. Exclusive random character doodles.

There are also four extra pages at the back, including the reader-request sketches and some mostly-new text. It’s all the same cool stuff you’ll get in the print edition (available soon), with the perk of not having to pay for shipping.

Check out what the critics are saying:

“I’m not surprised this hasn’t taken off. Sure, it has pathos, drama, and plenty of action, but it’s no children’s card game.”
—Yugi Mutou

“It’s exactly this kind of blatant, emotionally manipulative propaganda that encourages PETA to keep hassling me.”
—Ash Ketchum

“This contract seems to be in order.”
—Kyuubey

For-sale edition of Chapter 1 in progress!

I’m working on an ebook of Chapter 1, hopefully to be followed by an honest-to-goodness print version. There will be bonus material. Joy and sunshine will abound.

As part of that process, the first four people who reply to this post will get a free custom sketch! That sketch will be emailed to you privately, and no one else will get to see it…unless they by the ebook. Marketing!

A few rules:

The sketch has to be BICP-related. (Otherwise it wouldn’t make much sense as BICP bonus material, now would it.) Crossovers are allowed; they’ll count as parody, so they won’t violate copyright law.
No porn. My parents are going to be getting a copy of this, after all.
Please don’t ask for blatant spoilers (e.g. “I want a sketch of Nevada-san without his mask”). If you do, I’ll have to find some obnoxiously creative way to fulfill the letter of your request without spilling the spoiler, and nobody wants that.

And remember, general commissions are also open.

Ready…go!

Pinks and ponies

Realized too late that I’d left an important special effect out of today’s page. It’s updated now, so if you already read it, take a second look!

Your penance art this time comes in pony form. (Made with this generator.) Only two of these characters have appeared so far, but I’m sure you can figure out which one is about to debut…

Got about thirty different things going on right now, including preparing for And Shine Heaven Now‘s impending eight-year anniversary. This Friday’s page of BICP will therefore be appearing on Saturday. Hang tight.

In the meantime, please enjoy this adorable new art:
