I’m running a Spice Rack Comics Showcase on Patreon — a creator-by-creator spotlight featuring samples from every artist in the collective.
So far, I’ve highlighted:
• The Cummoner — delightfully unhinged fantasy filth
• Pixie Trix — sexy mischief wrapped in razor-sharp humor
And we’re just getting started.
By the time the dust settles, I will have shared 87 pages of NSFW comics with Patreon backers — all pulled from the massive Spice Rack sampler PDF. It’s a fantastic way to discover new creators, expand your reading list, and support the indie adult-comics community.
If you’re a Patreon backer, keep an eye out — more artists are being featured every few days, and some of these comics absolutely go places.
(And if you’re not a backer yet… this is a pretty great month to give yourself a gift.)
Greystone Flashback: Trever
Today’s comic features a cameo appearance by Trever, who started as an
intern at
Greystone Inn and worked his way up to
assistant producer.
What you may not know is that I considered spinning Trever off into his own strip. I had been doing
Greystone Inn for a couple years (and was quite pleased with its progress), but I still harbored interest in becoming syndicated at that point. I knew the syndicates would never accept
GI, but after reading an article about a new demographic group — Boomerangers — I thought I had a good concept for a strip that a syndicate
might accept. Boomerangers, the story said, were kids who graduated college and then moved back in with their Baby Boomer parents. Seeing the number of comics that the syndicates launched that seemed to be based on nothing but demographics, I decided to pitch a strip based on Boomerangers.
So, I produced a
four-week storyline that featured Trever and his decision to move in with his parents after graduating college. I packed it up and shipped it off to all of the major syndicates, confident that I was finally ahead of the curve. I had my demographic, I had my characters, and I had my cartooning up to the level that I thought I could attract the attention of an editor.
Needless to say, I was rejected all around.
