I made some notes today for a voice blog earlier. But it just all felt so forced, all 10 recording attempts. It’s because it was all so scripted. Instead, I’ve decided to just post up a quick short blog post on what’s been happening.

First up, I’d like to point out that we’ve updated the site slightly. I’ve coded in a little Sneak-Peek mini-gallery for fun. In here we’ve dumped a few sneak peaks at our latest Clarence pages and sketches as well as some work from our upcoming new co_OKiE comic, to be titled ‘Workaholic’ in which we’d decided to place cookie in an office environment. I’m hoping that people will find this comic just as enjoyable as the previous.

Chances are co_OKiE will be out sometime within the next 3 months or so. It’s on hold as Shari works on the last scene of The Clarence Principle. Details on Clarence will be broadcast once it’s finished, with estimates of its release in book format. I’ll take this opportunity to clear something up here actually, as we’ve been getting a lot of e-mails for a while now with people asking when are we going to update Clarence. It’s not a webcomic I’m afraid and it never will be. It’s a graphic novel project we’re aiming to get published and out for people to buy as a book. Keep an eye on the site for when that finally happens.

Going back to co_OKiE, I’d just like to point out that the new book will be on sale via Sweatdrop Studios, much like the current one. Also, a cool and confirmed detail here for you, as we signed a deal with a clothing label, called MaMoo (which stands for MangaMoods), to produce co_OKiE T-shirts. Those will be launched at the London Expo later in October ‘06 and then after that they’ll be making their way to select stores as well as be available online for sale. More details on that to come later this month.

Moving back to the website, just thought I’d also mention we’ve updated the forum a bit. Shuffled a few things around and skinned it to finally match our main website. The forums are a part of the site that we’ve neglected a lot. We make bunnies cry with our poor forum skills. We suck. However, we are trying to get back on top of things.

Kelsie, our friend from Seattle, sent us little pressies! She made us business cards using our website bunnies and they look ace! She made them with a home-made business card kit. Shari and I loved them so much, we kind of don’t want to give them away XD but I decided to remake the cards in a hi-res layouts so we can get professionaly printed sets of them.

Thanks Kelsie ^_^
