Sansha & Blanco - 1st Look At Our Next Comic
almost 2 years ago

Hey Everyone,
Hope your spring is off to a wonderful start!
Here in sunny Arcadia, California the cherry blossoms are in bloom after a season of rain and the world looks renewed in bright blues and green. To celebrate this spring renewal, we wanted to give you an exclusive first look at our latest comic, Sansha & Blanco.
Sansha & Blanco is a canine fairy tale about two siblings.
Born strays, Sansha yearns for a freedom her brother Blanco cannot comprehend.
I started writing Sansha & Blanco started in 2017 as a short story examining the everyday mundane of my suburban Los Angeles life.
In 2016, my dog Fatty got into an altercation with the neighbor’s dog, who got through a hole in the wall between our houses in the middle of the night..
Afterwards, my neighbors put a fence to close the hole. Their two dogs, one black and one white, would bark and whine everytime I passed by, especially when walking Fatty.
They were backyard dogs, never allowed to roam the world outside, forever confined to the overgrown yard that was their home.
I wondered what their life was like, and what circumstances might’ve led them to where they were.
And thus, Sansha & Blanco was born!
We hope you join us on April 21st, 2024, as we go live with the project. This is our third comic series after Skies of Fire and Glow, and we’ve certainly taken the same time and care we have with our other comics this one. All four issues of the series are finished, and we hope to release them in rapid succession, one after another.
Have a wonderful week, and please give your pets lots of scritches for us!!

Hey Everyone!
Apologies for going radio silent after the holidays. We were working behind the scenes to get those Australia/Asia/New Zealand orders out, and we're happy to report that they have all been shipped out! The majority of them should arrive in the next two weeks.
With that, fulfillment of Skies of Fire: Collected Edition is nearing completion. Once again, if you still haven't gotten your books yet, please message us directly here on Kickstarter or through our support email: [email protected].
We're a little backlogged at the minute on those support channels because of a spat of recent illnesses amongst our team, but we're catching up - please send us a gentle reminder if you think your issue has been buried, but also please do give a little grace for us in handling these things. When I say team, I really mean me, Vince, and our intern Andy handling things, so we're doing our best but we do have a bit to get through.
Anyway, hope you all are enjoying Skies. We'll have some major announcements soon in this space and our other channels regarding some upcoming comic projects as well as some new Skies of Fire ones :)
Till then!
Ray

Hey Everyone,
Just a quick line today to say Merry Christmas! Hope you and yours are having a festive holiday season.
We also do have a quick update on Asia/Australia/New Zealand shipments: these will go out during the New Year. Our apologies - there was a sourcing problem with the cardboard that led to a couple more weeks of turnaround past the holidays. Will update again when these start going out.
Take care everyone, and talk soon!

Hey Everyone!
A busy day at the office here working on customer support and getting out our last little bits of fulfillment. Based off of the conversation with our warehouses, we're mostly done with North America, UK, and Europe.
If you're an Oceania backer, can you please comment on the status of your shipping? Vince and I are meeting Monday and one of our touch points is that region... so let us know how that's going and we'll check in then as well.
As always, let us know about any issues here or through email: [email protected].
We're shipping / checking in about once a week and will continue doing so through the holidays.
Thanks everyone and talk soon!

Hey Everyone,
Happy Thanksgiving to you lovely USA backers. Hope your holiday is well and restful.
We're still working on fulfillment so thank you all for your patience. Love to hear so many of you receive your books. Again, as a reminder if you have an issue please message us here or through email: [email protected].
I'll be sorting through the accumulated inbox today and then next week after the holiday. An update on shipping: it looks like North America is nearly complete, Europe and UK are well on the way. Australia and Asia are a little behind but we finally have the books where they'll be shipped out to you soon, let's say 1-2 weeks.
Hope that answers everyone's questions. Let me know if you have any others. Will be answering them shortly!
Talk soon.
Ray
