This is the end of the introductory storyline! We’ll have a couple of shorter storylines in the coming couple months.

Our lives are rather busy but not particularly exciting right now. Lots of time spent with the tax department, who are actually rather helpful in New Zealand. Running a small business and working as an independent contractor is rather difficult in that regard. I’m becoming a master of Google Spreadsheet though. I am glad to be rid of Excel and OpenOffice, which routinely brings my poor little Macbook to its knees.

Well you people went crazy and bought a ton of Tigerbuttah paintings on Friday.

We are approaching the end of this particular storyline. Did you not even realise it was a storyline? That is alright! Do not fret! Another shall begin shortly!

Next week is Tigerbuttah week, where you will get 5 days of Tiger fun. The following week will be our first guest week. Then there will be an all new, much shorter storyline. Oh and what the hell here is a mixtape, it has been awhile:

The cause for such excitement and revelry is… We’re going on vacation! We are on our way to the MoCCA Art Festival in New York on June 7th and 8th, so we’re stopping in at Disneyland on the way, as well as catching up with some of our awesome friends in Los Angeles. The comic will continue to update, so do not fret. There might be a few lean weeks in there, I must confess, but we will be back to our regular form towards the end of summer.

See you tomorrow with a new comic page.

Today’s comic is for sale right now on our Etsy store for 50 bucks!

We’ve been up all night finishing the book, it is about 10am now so we are itching to get to sleep. Many apologies for it not being a full comic, but this one actually fits into the story. You will receive a full story page tomorrow!

This one is a bit late because Becky has been finishing up the cover for the current collection of Tiny Kitten Teeth. It is a 44 page comic book that we will be selling at conventions over the summer. We’re also selling the cover, which is a large 10.5″x15.5″ piece over on our store. We also have some smaller and more affordable 50 dollar pieces. Sold!

In other news, shirts are going to the printer in about a week, then will be immediately mailed out. So they should be arriving on some doorsteps by the end of May. Thanks again to everyone who bought one, the support was more than overwhelming!

Today the big cat in our home, Ella, caught a little sparrow. We were very worried about it, as it was splayed out on the ground with a rather hurt foot and what appeared to be a very hurt wing. Our cat, Mewsli (clever name, right?), was trying to play with it, as he isn’t actually co-ordinated enough to catch things. Becky whisked the bird away and warmed him up by the heater. I had a quick search around for bird rescue places, but most deal with only native birds. However, the Bird Wing (get it?) of the RSPCA said they would take in the little sparrow.

We had pretty much resigned ourselves to the little fellow dying at this point, but once we got to the bird sanctuary he had cheered up a little, or so it appeared. Apparently the wounds on the bird were superficial and the woman working there expects the little guy to make a full recovery.

We sold a couple of paintings over the weekend, so we bought some Cat Bibs for our cats. The cat bibs stop cats from pouncing on birds and apparently have an 80% success rate. Apparently it also helps with stopping them from attacking lizards, which has been a huge problem for us here in New Zealand. We will let you know how that works out for us.

Now, since it’s almost 8am, we should get off to bed.

Becky is working really hard on finishing the comic book up for the summer. We’re really excited about the impending convention season. If you are around New York, Charlotte and San Diego, we hope to see you there!

By the way, we have some Animal Crossing City Folk pattern designs for anyone who wants a new flag for the town. We have one of Mewsli, Hootenanny & Tigerbuttah. Most look a bit odd as shirts (and awful as hats). As flags and designs on the ground, they look rather fetching!

Drop us an e-mail with your Wii friend code and maybe we can find a time to hang out and pick some fruit.

This one is a bit late, sorry chaps!! T-shirts are done now. Thanks so much! If you missed out, we will be at MoCCA Art Festival in New York, HeroesCon in Charlotte and San Diego Comic Con with a few spares!

Thanks SO MUCH! For your rad support. And sorry I had heaps of text in the comic today.

We have a guest comic available over at the old Dumm Comics. It is rad to be in such good company. Pre-orders on the shirts exceeded our wildest dreams. We probably won’t be doing black shirts again!

Also here is a brand new mixtape! There is a special, different comic tomorrow to ease you slowly into our illness (and convention) induced reduced schedule.
