Good Comics Announcement!
This month we have some very exciting news to share with you all. -drum roll- We're launching a Kickstarter campaign! We've been busy over the last few months putting together our lineup of new books for 2021, and we've decided to fund them through Kickstarter.

But it also works well for you if you back our Kickstarter, as you get five brilli
A new baseball comic from our very own Paddy & Sam

There hasn't been one for a while, but while MLB hasn't been happening, we've been enjoying the CPBL (Chinese Professional Baseball League) in Taiwan, so we put together a comic about how the CPBL has been keeping us sane in these strange times.

Thanks a lot for talking to us! Let’s start by asking how The Lockdown Chronicles came about: in the early days of Covid lockdown, what was it that particularly inspired you to make comics about it?
