Scuttlebutt Ink ~ Find our magical boys on Tapas! @scuttlebuttink.bsky.social · Dec 5

Guess we should actually make a post to introduce ourselves -- we're 2 Elder Millennial NBs who have been making webcomics since the early 2000s. We spent around 15 years going to conventions where we did artist alley, cosplay and masqs with Gomu Gomu no Cosplay.

An illustration of the characters from Scuttlebutt Ink's comic Mahou Shounen FIGHT! The characters are dressed in outfits from a retro fast food restaurant. Yuki, Joe and Oliver are in a balloon in the sky and mike and Raij are hanging from a rope from the balloon. The backdrop is a blue sky with clouds. Around the scene are birds that are half fast food: a burger bird, chicken nugget birds and a milkshake bird.

All 4 of the magical boy transformations from the comic Mahou Shounen FIGHT!

The cover for Mahou Shounen FIGHT! volume one. Text says "A SUPER COLORFUL AND GORGEOUS HIGH SCHOOL SERIES, FULL OF MAGIC. AWESOME! -GAIL SIMONE (RED SONJA, BATGIRL) MAHOU SHOUNEN FIGHT! JD SAXON + DUSTY K SMITH. BOOK ONE: WAKE UP!"

A page out of the comic Mahou Shounen FIGHT! chapter 5. The page features the unveiling of Sir Spring's battle costume and using the attack 'April showers!' to wash away some rat-pastry monsters.

Okay I’m in the air. Book tour has officially started!

A cartoon of myself riding a funny-animal style airplane that appears to be looking at me flirtatiously for some reason, which is very strange because I am fully sat down inside the plane like one of those coin-operated children’s rides outside of old K-Marts. We are zipping through clouds, and I am struggling to weather the speed of the flight.
