The Adventures of Chester K Fingkelbottom

Thanks For Your Patience!

No, I still don't have anything for you today,
but I have a really good reason,
and I promise this time it ACTUALLY is a real excuse.

This week I've been running amuck trying to get my project from the Japan classes done, when, on Wednesday morning, I woke up barfing.
Fun fun.
I was quarantined to my room with a violent intestinal viral infection from Wednesday until Saturday evening, when I finally finished my projects and my friend whisked me away to her house to watch a movie and eat pizza.

That aside, you should now be able to forgive me for not getting the comic done for you guys.
However, now that I'm done with all that and only have two classes this quarter, I can focus more energy on TAoCKF (one of those classes will be composed entirely of work for Chester Fingkelbottom)!

I'd like to thank all of you for following me and encouraging me,
and you'll definitely be rewarded for it!

One of my projects this quarter (for a grade, too!) will be to make a website for TAoCKF, so be wary of the move we'll be making soon (soon being within the next couple months)!
My friend Tim is a web programmer/website designer, and he'll help me code it and get it up and running,
and that's where the comic will be hosted,
leaving this blog for sketches and blurbs related to the comic.
Hopefully the website will bring in more readership as well, so we can open up a merch shop!
Wouldn't that be lovely?

I still want the first piece of merch to be the flamingo hoodie.
*crosses fingers*

Well, that's all for you today!
Enjoy the holiday and the coming week, and keep your eyes peeled for lots of goodies to come!

More Bad News

So...
I know I promised you all two new pages of Chester this week, but another problem has arisen.
My tablet pen is not working, limiting my creative output to... practically nothing.
Once I get a replacement pen, though, I will do my best to make it up to all of you.
Also, I am working on getting a website for Chester, and maybe even some cool merch!
More to come later....

Thanks for reading!

Good and Bad News

Well, everyone, I'm back from Japan!
It was an awesome trip that I wish could have lasted longer, but I'm glad to be home and with family and friends.
That's the good news.
Bad news is, I got really sick during the last couple days in Japan and I'm kind of a quivering lump of congested flesh right now, so I probably won't be updating TAoCKF this week.
Sorry. :(
But I promise once I get all better, I'll work twice as hard to give you two pages next week!
I'll also be working on my Japan projects (an 8-page comic based on my experience, a sketchbook/journal to distribute, and a themed attraction to pitch to my class when we get back together in the Winter Quarter), so if you guys are interested, let me know and I'll post some of my works up here.
In the meantime, swing by my facebook and look at the many photo albums I've posted showing my day-to-day adventure in Tokyo. :)

See you all soon!

Emily

Leaving for Japan!

Well, folks!
Tomorrow I take off around the world for the Land of the Rising Sun, so I'll be on a two-week hiatus.
In the meantime, I figured I'd at least have something for you to enjoy while I'm gone, so I'm posting the edits of the first 6 pages of TAoCKF, as well as a little something extra.
Here you go!
