Bat Fuzzy Returns

edit: The prints are now on sale!!

Today is the day! My Topatoco friends inform me that the "Bat Fuzzy" limited prints will be going on sale later today. We've only got a limited number of them, and I'm not sure how quick they'll go, so if you really want one... well... don't put it off too long!



And now, back to our regular scheduled programming!

Sam and Fuzzy Q & A: Guys-I-Can't-Answer-Your-Questions-About-Hazel/Brain/Eric-Theories-Those-Would-Be-Spoilers! Edition
Got a question you want answered? Just drop me an email with "Q & A" in the subject line!

"Do we ever get to see how Alphonso met Butcher?" -Angelica

Probably not! But we will be seeing Alphonso again. Scout's honour!

"When does the story of Sam and Fuzzy officially take place? Is the current story, for example, set in the year 2010?" -Alex

Sam and Fuzzy takes place in a kind of "rolling present." At any given time, the "present day" portions of the comic are meant to be happening right now, with everything that came beforehand placed accordingly. That's why I tend to use qualifiers like "ten years ago" rather than specific dates.

Of course after awhile, all those references to powdered wigs and betamax tapes are going to start getting a little suspiciously dated!

"Are you going to do more Bat-Fuzzy comics, or was the one with the backstory the only one? I love the idea of Sam as Robin! " -Maddie

You never know! Bat Fuzzy has been added to the reservoir of concepts we dip into whenever I want to run some non-story-related "filler" strips... but there is a lot of competition in that reservoir. Bitey and Skull Panda can get pretty vicious.

"What is your favourite Marvel character?" -Lizzy

Spider-man! Sorry, that's probably a pretty boring answer. I just really like the character!

I don't read a lot of super hero comics these days, but I do still follow Ultimate Spider-man and Brubaker's Captain America. In the reasonably recent past, I also enjoyed Bryan K Vaughan and Adrian Alphona's Runaways, and Mark Waid and Mike Wieringo's run on Fantastic Four. (Wieringo was a great talent that we lost much too soon.)

Also, not really a super hero book, but... I miss Nextwave.

That's it for this week. See you on Monday!

edit: Sorry about the technical problems, folks! My webhost ran out of letters. Everything should be back to normal now.

Imminent Bat Fuzzy

My friends at Topatoco inform me that the Bat Fuzzy Limited Prints have arrived, and will be going on sale before the week is out!

A few folks have been asking how long they'll be on sale for. Well, uh... I'm not really sure! It's a limited print, so we just sell them 'til they are all gone. My last print took about a week to sell out, but that was more than a year ago. (And pre-Topatoco!) I made a few more this time, so hopefully everyone who really wants one will have their shot!

I'll post a notice here on the site -- and on my twitter feed -- as soon as the prints go live. Anticipate!

-Sam Logan

Sam and Fuzzy...

Tell your friends, family, coworkers, and random people you meet on the street... a new volume of Sam and Fuzzy begins today! (It's proper title will be revealed next Wednesday, after this short prologue chapter.)

This volume is a pretty direct continuation of the saga that began with Sam and Fuzzy Fix Your Problem, but new readers should be able to start reading here without too much confusion. (Probably.)

Expect some pretty wild stories, plus appearances from characters old and new, copious amounts of action and intrigue, a valuable moral lesson or two, and a fresh minty scent. Excitement? Excitement!
