“Shadowbanning” is one of those terms that gets thrown around a lot, especially in adult-content spaces, but it’s often misunderstood. To tackle the issue effectively, we need to separate the myth from the reality. buff.ly/hfwi9BN

There seems to be some misinformation about whether it's legal to ship comics using the Media Mail service of the U.S. Postal Service. Since this misunderstanding could cost you hundreds of dollars, let's get it straightened out. buff.ly/pLTd6L3

Capation: "Now THERE'S a witch who's REALLY 'defying gravity.'"

Inside a candle-lit hall that looks one lightning strike away from collapse, a gathering of classic monsters has paused mid-party. The mummy is half-unwrapped, the werewolf’s tuxedo sleeves are history, the ghost is gossiping through a wineglass, and the Bride of Frankenstein’s hair is throwing off enough static to power the sconces. All eyes are on the witch — a vision in black lace, striped stockings, and pure showmanship — whose hefty breasts are hovering as if gravity simply gave up trying. I mean, they look like green melons bobbing in the moonlight. The vampire, suavely bald and holding a glass of something suspiciously crimson, raises an eyebrow equal parts admiration and concern. She grins down at him, clearly enjoying being the center of every orbit in the room. It’s less “spellcraft” and more “stagecraft,” and everyone knows it. And if you’ve actually read this far, your treat is waiting: use the code SCAREDST1FF on at Patreon.com/guigar this October to get 25% off your first month.

As Cartoonists continue to use newsletters to leverage their audience-building potential, they struggle with the same question: What should I write?! To make this easier, I've delineated three basic types of newsletter posts — each with its role in generating new readers.

A caricature of Lt. Columbo (art by Brad Guigar). The header says Just One More Thing… “Excuse me, one more thing… uh, you said you didn’t have time to draw today. That’s funny, ‘cause I noticed you knew exactly what happened in last night’s ballgame, right down to the batting average. So maybe it ain’t time you’re short on. Maybe it’s excuses.”

Creating erotic work for a living isn’t like any other creative hustle. If you’re not careful, it can drain the spark that made you start creating in the first place.

A muse excitedly tells her artist: "three lovers trapped in a
mirrored room. One’s a vampire,one’s a centaur, and one’s
a nun with a complicated
backstory. The mirrors are
enchanted, so every reflection shows a different kink.

The centaur’s struggling
with identity, the nun’s
questioning her vows,
and the vampire’s
just there for
the drama.

Oh! That's when the
exotic dancers
form a conga line! "

And the artist responds: " *sigh*... AGAIN?!?"

Love is in the air — and maybe a little ozone, too. In this 'Meanwhile…' strip, Lightning Lady lets her guard down for an evening with her favorite minotaur chef. A delicious meal, a little flirtation, and a hint of what’s to come make for a date night that’s positively electrifying.

Here’s the full transcript for this Evil Inc comic by Brad Guigar, titled “Meanwhile… Angus Cooks Dinner for Lightning Lady”:

Panel 1
Setting: Outside Angus’s apartment. Lightning Lady stands beside a table where dinner is served.
Lightning Lady: This looks delicious, Angus! You really know how to treat a girl!

Panel 2
Lightning Lady looks up at Angus, smiling nervously.
Lightning Lady: Speaking of which... I… um… brought protection for tonight.

Panel 3
Angus grins confidently.
Angus: Heh… so did I.

Panel 4
Lightning Lady holds up a condom with a flirty smile. Angus proudly holds up a surge protector. Hearts fill the background.
