Fanart, Tapastic, T-shirts!

First off, some Fanart!

fanart

Getting fanart in my email is always fun, but there’s little more thrilling than receiving it in person! At Amazicon a few weekends ago, a family that had supported me for about a year now at various events on the east coast (they’re kinda like my roadies!), stopped by my table. The eldest daughter, Isabella, is a budding artist herself and loves both Z&F and my Abby kids books. She carries with her a great scrapbook of her sketches and drawings and inside was this terrific rendition of the guys! Please excuse the glare, I should have asked to take it out of the sleeve. I can tell she took my drawing lessons in the back of Z&F Volume 1, too, which also made my day! Thanks so much for sharing this, and all your drawings, with me Isabella!

A New Way to Read Z&F: Tapastic!

unnamedThere are lots of webcomic reader services out there, like Comic Rocket, or InkOutbreak (of which I have been a big supporter), and basically they just pull your latest comics from your feed. Well, there’s a new hot comic reader community out there now, called Tapastic! And I figured, why not give these comic lovers some Z&F– but from the VERY beginning!

You can sign up via facebook easily and start reading Z&F among a ton more webcomics! The experience is slick & easy, and offers you a great chance to catch up if you are a newer Z&F reader, too! I highly suggest it.

Head HERE and add Zorphbert and Fred to your READING LIST!

 

Check Out What’s NEW in the Z&F Store!

I finally updated the T-shirt designs and some fun mugs! If you’re curious what the “Space Cadets” shirt is about, check out the BRAND NEW Facebook Group: Zorphbert & Fred: Space Cadets Club! It’s an open group for anyone to join, and you’ll get extra cool stuff NOT on this site while also keeping up with the newest comics!

Well, how about a successful Kickstarter run by the organizers that raised over $50,000 sound to you? yeah. AWESOME. Do NOT miss out.
