Comic of the Week 2021Here is something new – Gobo Gazette will be participating in SpiderForest’s Comic of the Week. You may have noticed the banner at the top, which randomly displays one of the many webcomics that are part of the SpiderForest webcomic collective. Well this is a more focused version of that. Each week, starting on October 18th and ending the week of December 15th, you’ll see two to three banners, complete with a blurb and link. Check them out. Who knows, perhaps you will find a new favorite series to follow!

SpiderForest Webcomic Collective

SpiderForest Webcomic CollectiveGobo Gazette has been accepted into the SpiderForest Webcomic Collective! “What is that?”, you may ask? It is a group of very creative and awesome individuals that share a passion for webcomics. I followed a number of their works over the years and would always see when they’d make an announcement that they were accepting applications. I finally got the nerve to apply last year and, although I wasn’t accepted then, I was introduced to the SpiderForest Discord channel. It is one thing to see what an artist releases on their website. It is another to be able to converse, ask questions, and compare notes. If you are interested in webcomics, check out the selection there. And if you are creating webcomics, check them out. They are always willing to talk with similarly open and accepting creative minds.

If you happen to be a long time reader of one of the other webcomics showcased on SpiderForest, welcome to my little webcomic (please, mind the dust!). And if you have already been following Gobo Gazette, please do check them out at the link above. Or try clicking the top banner!

Being accepted has put a bit of a fire under my seat and I am hoping to put it in high gear. Perhaps get a few of those thing finished up that I’ve been meaning to do for a while now. Get that website facelift I have drafted up. Update the cast page. Add locations. Maybe adding another SF banner. I even did an image for Instagram to celebrate the event! (Don’t tell Dante, he’ll be wanting the keys to the car and some money!) But first I do need to get this buffer… um, buffed up.

Be careful out there.

Happy Fourth Birthday

Happy Fourth BirthdayHappy fourth birthday, Dante! I mentioned I was only going to do two Instagram posts this year and I couldn’t even follow through on that. I guess this will have to do (and yes, I’ll remember this when you ask for the keys). And to anyone wondering, I’m not a monster. We are going to have a very happy fourth birthday party… in just a few moments actually.

In addition to the two Instagram posts, I speculated about whether I was going to attempt Inktober this year. Well, I have decided I will be skipping the 2021 October event (yeah, I know if can be done all year round and not just in one month). I am battling to get the buffer back up and have been failing to increase the depth of files. There have been a couple moments since the beginning of this year were I felt I was going to miss an update. Thankfully, it hasn’t come to that but I am still rushing to have strips ready. There may come a time where I will have to skip an update. I still hope to post 51 comics this year. Things might just have to spill over into the next year.

Let’s leave it at that for now… I have a party to attend.

Three Year Anniversary

Three Year AnniversaryI can’t believe that Gobo Gazette is having its three year anniversary today! And I can’t believe Bam wasn’t around for last year’s… I mean the spoof here would have been perfect!

It is a brand new year! Thank goodness. Not to jinx it or anything but how could 2021 be any worse? 2020 was rough for many. While it wasn’t as bad for me as it was for other, it still left its mark. You may have noticed that I did not post many holiday Instagram images. Sure, there was Inktober, but I haven’t done anything creative for it or the website, other than the update alerts there and on both Twitter and on the Facebook page. I’ll let you in on a little secret: those updates are what I imagine the new website design to look like. Just one of the little things besides Instagram posts that I wanted to have done last year and the year to come.

As mentioned in last week’s comic update, those changes will have to wait. There will be one other Instagram creative bit done for April, and Inktober is kind of up in the air. I stated that my buffer was greatly depleted, and it is. Not only am I behind in illustrating the strips, but my story-boarding has long been neglected. Don’t worry! I have plenty of story in my head. It’s just a matter of thinking out how to present it. Thankfully, this holiday break helped. I am trying to avoid this as much as possible, but there might come a time when Gobo Gazette doesn’t update on Friday. Or it updates without color. Whatever the case, my hope is that if something like this does happen, I will be able to make up the difference and get back on schedule as quickly as possible.

Now for some good news. We are getting to a part of the story that I have been looking forward to for a long time! Until now, the dirty dozen have been on the move, barely having enough time to settle down. The longest amount of time in one spot was just under a season! It has been relatively fast-paced, introducing elements that will have a larger impact in the future. The last of those elements is coming soon. From here out… well, I don’t want to give much away. I hope that you are looking forward to it as much as I am.

Have a happy new year and be careful out there.

Inktober 2020

Inktober 2020 Day One EntryWith 2020 being such a crazy year, I am surprised how quickly it became October and, with that, Inktober! It has been so crazy, I thought I would share my day one entry instead of the official logo. Wait a moment? Is this a Pokémon crossover? Yes, but with a very important disclaimer… and with a macron instead of an acute accent. While Pōk is shown here attempting to catch a Magikarp without a Poké Ball, the images I do for Inktober are mostly non-canonical. So if you were expecting the Gobos to be blazed by a Charizard, don’t hold your breath!

This will be the third Inktober for Gobo Gazette, my fourth in total. While Inktober has changed with time (you don’t have to do it just in October, check out the alternative guidelines) the basics are the same: a set of inked pieces of art, each based upon a keyword. Tired of getting only one Gobo fix each week? In October you get a bonus seven per week (roughly speaking)!

As mentioned, the image here is just a teaser – to see all of the art for Inktober 2020, you’ll need to go to the Gobo Gazette Instagram page. And if you want to see my Year One Inktober art, check out this album on my personal Facebook account. Following GG’s Instagram is just one way to get updates. The others being Facebook, Twitter and via RSS feed. Check those out if you are into social media… and please share!

Stay safe out there!
