Creating Comics At Last

  A freedom of information request about the NHS figures on how many people died OF COVID and not with covid revealed 17 thousand people.Not the 150,00 people the official figures said. Every study showed what most sensible people already knew, the mask do not and never did work at all in preventing the virus. Early in 2022 the figures were 84% of the infected were vaccinated .That figure has only risen since. The 5 million unvaccinated in the country turned out to be in excess of 20 million. If you don't believe any of these, just ask yourself one thing, How many more deadly and  infectious diseases are out there that we didn't shut down the world for?   Diseases that we can still get on planes with?                                                                             ...

 

 

 My friends from CGUK have sent forth a mighty gift for entering the CGUK Christmas comic competition. The Competition had to be Christmas themed and include one or more cguk member. Here is my entry  My first superhero comic ever I'm quite proud

  The campaign ended on the first of December 2021. And it failed. I had kind of hoped that my last book had opened a few doors,gotten some attention and might conceivably make the shilling easier .Since i was a known quantity with a successful campaign and a fulfilled book behind me. It did not. I didn't rely on that of course. I went on several streams,a hell of a lot more than last time. I shilled before the campaign even started for months to create some buzz and get an email list of people potentially interested.So I employed everything I learned from the last launch and applied it to this one. It's shame it somehow did worse. On the positive side the funds will pay for several more pages and take the book nearly to the finish line.Self funding is brutally expensive for a man of no financial means, and equally brutal sacrifices have to be made.This money will help not only the book but also allow me to live slightly above basic subsistence level.So while technically a fail...

   I went on a live stream with Pops. The Comic Madness Network work fella and shilled like the wind for my book.Pops is talkative ,friendly American fellow that looks like Walder Frey Became a Heavy Metal Roadie .After hearing others sell their books , Mike Baron popped up on the stream. He was serious ,focused and cut right to the chase about his book ,it's inspiration and his opinions on BLM. It was a true pleasure to meet someone who's written comics longer than I've been alive and we both shared our unhappiness with the postal service  problems of our respective nations.His wife poked her head into the stream to show us her painted seashell art ,describing it as a "We make Art Shit"  And then he was gone. I was tired and flustered but happy I'd given it yet another go at selling the book. Shame I got no new sales. Oh well back to the drawing Board

   I'll Be honest with you here the campaign seems to have stalled.  After a great big fat Start Of which I was very happy with We seem to be grinding to a non-negotiable halt.We are at The half way point.If it doesn't hit the minimum funding goal It doesn't go into in demand store at all Multiple live streams and endless tweeting/posting on social media doesn't seem to have made a dent in the amount of funding I require. I'm at a loss to explain the drop off to be honest .I know I'm utterly unsuited for the world of marketing either things or myself.My creativity really doesn't seem to extend to novel and intriguing ways to con people in to buying the book.Another live stream next week.And another chance to Sell the bastarding book and hopefully expanded my customer base,Lets us pray it is the case.
