A Blast From The Past (part 2)
🕑 Added 2017-05-01 08:34:34 +0000 UTC I would like to formally welcome all our new Patrons, and thank you for reading and supporting the comic!While I try to post something here on Patreon at least once or twice a week, I have no set schedule or theme at the moment, so posting is simply a matter of when I have the time or the inspiration.
I've posted non-canon "rewrites" of current strips, at least one alternative storyline, some early drafts of upcoming strips, and have experimented with character design, so basically anything is possible. Including surprise tassels. :)
I don't have a great deal of previously-unpublished artwork, in fact I have very little of it, but there are a few things like the old promotional image of Sandy shown below, all of which I'll most likely wind up posting sooner or later.
One thing I do have a fair bit of, is scans of book sketches. Back when we printed books, I offered to do sketches by request, in the back. Many of the ideas I was given eventually wound up as strips and included in storylines over the years, but some were just sketches, such as the one above.
No, it's not quite as polished as my current work, but then again, look at the date- I drew it eleven years ago. :)
I have quite a few of these, so even if I don't have time to draw something new, I should still have something I can post.
And again, and as always, thanks for reading, and thank you for your support!
Doc.

Wait....so books are not being printed now?
Having been a avid follower of the Whiteboard for years (including purchasing books with custom sketches, not to mention other stuff) I have never seen an issue with your updating. Love the comic, love the machine work. Besides, not every artist can keep the kind of machine like schedule Howard does!
