10.24.2008 - Dog's Days of Summer, in Bookstores!


Diego made a trip recently to Sydney and managed to crawl all over one of it's famous landmarks.

And.... *drumrolls*
We're very happy to say that Dog's Days of Summer has been listed in the October editions of Diamond Comics Previews!
I urge you if you're ready, willing and able to hit your nearest comic book store and ask them to order the Dog's Days of Summer graphic novel! Tell the manager to look it up in Diamond Previews in the graphic novel section, and that it is awesome. Help spread the word of anthropromorphic arts in it's slow but steady progress toward world domination! (have I said too much? Bwhahahah!)
(And for the record, since it's bound to be asked, I make about .25 cents per copy sold wholesale. It'll take a lot of copies sold to fund my secret hideout inside a volcano on a remote desert island where I can further scheme my evil plots, so get cracking!)

You have until the rest of October to refer to the book in Diamond Previews, otherwise, you can hit your nearest bookstore and ask them to order the book by it's ISBN:978-0-9791496-7-2 . You can do that right now, next week, next month--whenever. You can also go to your local public library and ask them to order the book!

So, the plan of attack:
-Go to Barnes and Nobles/Red Letter/Borders/whatever to their book ordering/information kiosk thingie.
-Tell them to order a copy of the graphic novel, Dog's Days of Summer, ISNB:978-0-9791496-7-2 by "Blotch"
-Give them a suitably hilarious fake name, such as "Justin Case" or "Robin Banks"
-Vanish, never to return so they put the comic on the shelf for sale.
-Some poor unsuspecting person sees the book. Their mind is corrupted and they run out to buy themselves a tail and create a suitably unique sparkledog fursona that incorporates their individualist identity.
-Cycle of furry propagation is complete.
-World domination is ours.

7.3.2008 - Round Two!

The Dog's Days of Summer was released last weekend at AnthroCon and we're happy (and amazed!) to say that Sofawolf Press sold out of the comic on the first day of the convention! A reprint order has been sent to the printer and the comic will be available online later this month from Sofawolf Press' website, as well as at ComicCon in San Diego at the end of July at the Sofawolf booth.

Here's a link to the product ordering page at Sofawolf Press's website, which will be updated soon as the reprint is in and ready for sale. For the first week of online sale, you'll be able to receive the same sale price that was offered at AnthroCon before the price reverts to full cover price. Don't miss your chance for a discount!

A big thanks to all who bought the book and supported the project! Time for round two!

 

PS - If you can't wait that long and need some Dog's Days now, HEAT Vol. 5 is now available from Sofawolf! This adult periodical has the 14 page prequel comic, "First Time for Everything" about Diego and Bayshore's first time, plus loads of other adult comics, stories, poetry and more by various writers and artists!
HEAT is for mature readers only!
6.18.2008 - IT'S HERE!

June has finally rolled around and the complete Dog's Days of Summer comic is debuting this week at AnthroCon!

The book concludes the first half of the webcomic in an additional 34 pages, bringing the comic's total length to 67 full color pages. Also included in the book are 14 pages of concept art and artist commentary. Will Diego let Raj sink his claws into him--or is his heart (and goolies) already set on another?

The book can be purchased from Sofawolf Press' Dealer's Table at AnthroCon 2008 for $25 bones.

Sofawolf Press will also have the Dog's Days camp shirts available in limited quantities, and HEAT Vol. 5 which features the adult 14 page prequel comic about Diego and Bayshore's first time together.

After you get your copy, stop by Blotch's table across the way at F15 to get it signed!

Can't make it to AnthroCon?
Don't worry! Sofawolf Press will have the Dog's Days of Summer comic, HEAT Vol 4 and any remaining DDoS camp shirts available on their website, the first week of July!
You'll also be able to pick up the comic at the San Diego ComicCon later this July!

12.03.2007 - Dog's Days to be Published!

I am pleased to say that the Dog's Days comic is nearing completion. I have added another 34 pages to the comic (effectively doubling its length) and brought the story to a happy conclusion. The pages are laid out, sketched, inked, in the process of being colored and should be completely done in a few months!

I am also happy to announce that Sofawolf Press will be publishing the entire Dog's Days of Summer comic in color, plus all of the concept art, in one complete volume. The book will be released next summer at Anthrocon '08. (It will also be available online and internationally if you're unable to attend the convention.)

I want to thank everyone who voted on the comic and for their help developing the characters and story! It was a fun challenge to try and keep the story moving in a thoughtful direction based on the community's input. It has been a pleasure getting to know the characters and watching them evolve week to week. They really did take on lives of their own and traveled in directions I could have never predicted when I had the first inkling of an idea about Dog’s Days last May. I couldn't have finished the comic--let alone made it was it has become--if it wasn’t for the motivation and support from the comic's fans! Thank you all very much! :]

On that note, here’s a smexy Diego I couldn’t resist painting.
