tumblr_n53g4pIOB81rb8ck1o1_500This strip was inspired by the print by artist Chris Trevas, but with our own little BMS twist. You know this had to happen this way. I also hope you like the new BMS banner at the top of the page to herald the changing scenery as we approach the middle of the movie.

Here’s an update on the successful Save BMS Campaign. To those of you who went for the FORCINESS tier, Leanne and I are about 60% done with your art. We should have everything done by August 8th. Printing will add another couple of weeks, along with shipping, so expect to receive your pinup posters before September 1st. Thank you so much for your patience and enthusiasm!

We had a couple of delays due to concurrent projects and this ugly thing called life. Our priority remains keeping the regular Blue Milk Special strips going and doing our best to update on a regular schedule.

Sadly, my grandmother passed away last week in New Zealand. It was very sudden. She had a lot of energy and was very committed to the family. She will be missed by the large family she leaves behind.

As far as my silly health goes, I’m now working from home on the webcomic without a regular job to support me. Leanne has some Transformers work through Hasbro that is helping and I’m doing what I can to develop my various writing projects.

The trouble is, I can no longer hold down a full time job with my spine and nerve pain at the current level. Most days there are periods where I have little choice but to lay in bed in an effort to alleviate spine pain, so my windows to work on projects are sporadic and dependent on my health. Leanne has been, and continues to be my number one supporter. But thanks to you guys, life is not as hard right now as it could have been when I was forced to leave my job.

Corny perhaps, but I mean this: comedy is probably the most universal source of joy in our world after love, so it is a great diversion and I hope that BMS continues to bring a little cheer and positivity into the lives of readers as it does in mine.

PATREON SUBSCRIPTIONS

logo_emblemPatreon offers readers a way to support the artists they love with a regular subscription to their work. It’s basically like an ongoing Kickstarter campaign, where you can pledge to give us an amount which you specify every time we release a new piece of content (a webcomic strip). Don’t worry, you can set a maximum amount in case you’re worried about spending too much in a month.

Just so you all know, WE ARE NOT SUDDENLY CHARGING YOU FOR BLUE MILK SPECIAL CONTENT, IT IS STILL FREE. We are just asking for help and ​Patreon offers a way for those of you who can afford to support us to do so. At the same time, you’ll have a much closer connection to us and receive a lot of exclusive Patreon only Blue Milk Special content and perks to show our appreciation. Want to see Boba Fett beyond the Sarlacc pit? Support us and let us know what you want more or less of. We will listen and we want be able to chat with fans.

If we can get some extra help financially, then it makes the project easier and provides an additional incentive for Leanne and myself to create new strips more frequently. That means more content for you guys. All readers will benefit, but ​Patreon supporters will get extra good stuff.
