Yes of course there’s giant guinea pigs, but what I haven’t mentioned much about Those That Inherit the Earth is the whale-people.

Very much looking forward to showing a bit more of what their deal is and delving into the more post-human aspects of the story

Halfway through the campaign! Haven’t had time to color the actual pages but here’s a look at the termite-people first draft from last year. Really only one major difference between them and the final

Check out the campaign if you haven’t yet, especially since I added another new stretch goal!

If you missed out on the patreon tier last month these are available from my website.

Planning another fun one for this month, think “garden” this time

Almost Home - this month’s riso print to ring in the fall.

Not sure how to describe it, but this time of year always feels like I’m almost “home” so I wanted to come up with something that touches on that feeling a little

I won’t be doing the riso shorts going forward, unfortunately too labor intensive to make and difficult to keep stock of single issues with my current workload so it’ll be this hardcover volume format

Still haven’t decided if the opossum gets this outfit in Volume 1, guess you’ll have to just back the book to find out why he might need some clothes

Thanks so much Rob!

Matt Emmons @secondatbest.bsky.social · 11d

There’s gonna be another 60+ pages of new story in here, and I won’t be doing the riso shorts going forward anymore so there’s new stuff in this one!

Matt Emmons @secondatbest.bsky.social · 11d

Check out the campaign if you haven’t yet! Might add another stretch goal for a section dedicated to some world building and setting stuff - stick around to find out

It’s more about how you overlay them than the color itself. Hunter Green is doing the heavy lifting for the tone here, Sunflower’s a really bright color and Brick changes so much depending on what it’s next to

For all the new people, this is still going strong! All stretch goals are unlocked, which means even more story all for the same price

And a very fun villain I can’t wait to introduce

Those That Inherit the Earth Vol. 1 is live on Kickstarter!

If an episodic tale of an opossum and an astronaut living in a sword and sci-fi world sounds like your thing, this book is for you
