SF CotW – Jan 23-29 – Comfortably Numb c/o Pink Floyd
Freezing temperatures, Psi-Profiles, and deadly visions, it’s enough to make the strongest person numb. Not all gifts from the ice or visions from the past are beneficial.
Gifts of Wandering Ice – A sci-fi comic where an apocalypse made humanity better.
Numb – After getting into an accident, Levi starts seeing strange things around him.
SF CotW – Jan 16-22 – It’s a Kind of Magic c/o Queen
Magical gifts, magical friendships, magical adventures, they all possess something powerful. These people, thrust together by fate, must find ways to persevere.
Castoff – Lonely scaredy-cat Vector always dreamed of traveling the world. He got kidnapped instead. Now, with the help of a short-tempered bounty hunter, a happy-go-lucky cartographer, and many more unlikely friends, he has to try to make it home in one piece.

Magefront – Amarantha sees being accepted into the College of Magic as her first big step into becoming a famous battlemage like she’s always dreamed. Unfortunately dark secrets lurk in the bowels of the school, and those secrets might just turn her dreams into nightmares.
SF CotW – Jan 09-15 – Changes c/o David Bowie
All things change. From a couple brothers thrust into adventure, to a Fairy General coming face to face with the results of past actions, things will never be the same again.
Brothers – Postmasters Sprout and Oz become unlikely heroes after discovering a magic mailbox! A Postmaster’s work is never done, especially with routes this deadly!
broken – A fantasy/horror story about a psychic zombie kid and a fairy general trying to help each other survive PTSD, a fascist government, and eldritch abominations.

Gobo Gazette celebrates its five year anniversary! 2022 came to a – literal – crashing halt at the end of October. Dr. Bam is pointing out the details in my transparent high five. Trust me, I didn’t plan this for a visual representation like I did the first four anniversaries. The pain is not worth the sight gag. For a look at the previous anniversary images, check out these links (1, 2, 3, 4).
So, I am back to drawing full time. Pardon the dust, as I am still not at 100%. I am healing and there is no pain, but the hand is stiff so my sketching/inking come off a bit rough to me. I see the bone doctor next week for a status update but previous talks said physical training is my big focus now. And the more I do, the better I’ll get.
We’ll be starting the year right in another way with a Comic of the Week promotion for the SpiderForest Webcomic Collective! There will be a new post each week starting on Monday and it should get you through the winter blues. You can also click the previous link to go explore on your own. There is something for everyone. Check it out… you just might find a new favorite to follow!
I like to keep to a schedule so being out of sync like I am right now is a little nerve racking. There is nothing more that I want to do than catch up as quickly as possible. But I understand that recovery is of the utmost importance. While I am looking forward to doing a few double posts to get back on schedule, I will first endeavor to rebuild strength and dexterity first.
It’s pretty amazing to be actually be at this five year anniversary milestone. It will be an interesting time for the gobos and hopefully an interesting one for you as well. Thank you for reading and come back tomorrow for the official return of Gobo Gazette.
And, as always, be careful out there.
If you did not already notice my comment on the most recent comic, Gobo Gazette is Temporary Emergency Hiatus Go!
Two days before it was scheduled to auto-post, a car door opened in front of me while I was bicycling home. The emergency room said that the impact broke three of the bones in my hand. Specifically, the third, fourth and fifth metacarpals. I will be seeing an orthopedic doctor in a couple days. I will have a more precise diagnosis then. The most immediate issue is that episode 25.03 was the last buffer comic I had. I am out of commission for four to eight weeks. I will set up a temporary emergency hiatus placeholder as the comic for November 4th. This will alert anyone that has not seen the comment or this post to the problem.
I could leave it at that. Set it up, rest and recover. But it is just my hand that is unable to rock it. Perhaps we can turn an unfortunate situation into an awesome opportunity. Did you have any question regarding Gobo Gazette? This could be anything from a technical artist question: why don’t you use that wacom pad in the photo? It could be diected at a cast member: Pat, what is you favorite meal to cook? Now you can ask! And, if it wouldn’t spoil the plot, you’ll get an answer! Do you like to fanart? Did you want to make some? Have you been sitting on something and are too shy to share? I am the same way. Now is the time to share!
If you have questions or want to share some gobo art, send it to gobo@gobogazette.com! Provide a link if you webcomic, have a portfolio website, or similar creative site. I will add it in the comic description. Once healed, I will move the placeholder and your content to a gallery section and Gobo Gazette will be back in action. And visitors will be able to check out who participated in Gobo Gazette’s first Temporary Emergency Hiatus Go!
