I made Letters from the Void because I wanted to make more opportunities for the many talented people in indie comics.

Help me make that a reality by backing Letters from the Void today!

I got consumed by the void and I got was a comic. Letters from the Void now on Kickstarter

Since it's now news within our immediate circles, I can share: my partner got abruptly fired from his job (we had no idea it was coming; his boss chose to circumvent the normal steps you're supposed to go through to fire him while we were in Hawai‘i).

Kody Okamoto @kodyisover.com · 5d

just kidding times two, my partner and I got blindsided by some pretty bad news the day I posted this, I'll be fully back in office and online here on Monday.

if, in the meantime, you feel like supporting me by reading Keeping Time or joining my Patreon/SubStar, that would be a welcome reprieve.

Kody Okamoto @kodyisover.com · 8d

just kidding, I'm still pretty under the weather, so I'm extending my out-of-office until Friday!

Very very fond memories of a few 24 hour comic days @challengers.bsky.social many years ago. The one I actually finished is something I still plan on remaking properly.

Gabriel Hardman @gabrielhardman.bsky.social · 6d

Making a comic in 24 hours sounds like a terrible idea and something I always wanted to do.

My secondary hot take is that you need to decide if you like making comics for money, attention, or for yourself - because all of those are wildly different metrics of success and two of them don’t require you to financially set fire to your life (for at least 10 years)

Liam McGuire @liammcguire.bsky.social · 7d

Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?

It’s been a couple of years since I posted my Halloween hobbit feets tutorial.

Ultimately it’s just men’s socks (as close as you can find to your kid’s skin tone) pulled over crocs and painted. I glued soles to the pair shown but you don’t have to.

My adorable child when he was still adorable dressed as Bilbo Baggins for Halloween about twelve(?) years ago. He’s wearing a bunch of hobbit style clothes sources from value village (including a burgundy suede jacket that he wore for years afterward) and a pair of realistic looking hobbit feets.

A pair of children’s crocs with men’s socks pulled over them. I’d also cut out and glued thin soles to them.

Same as previous photo but with toes drawn on in sharpie.

Same as previous photo but now they’ve been painted with acrylics (also shown) to resemble actual human (hobbit) feets.

I know I’m biased because I love them but I was also trying to manage expectations and they were completely obliterated.

Trying to tell my brain that doing RIFFTOBER is a bad idea to kickstart consistency with music again. Because it is.
