December Shop Update

Posted on December 6, 2025December 6, 2025 by Bug

Two new downloadable comics are available in my itch and Ko-Fi shops, neither of which have been available to the general public before.

The Night Before Christmas (As Told By Dr. Calway) – $1+

Originally released in 2014 as a holiday special for Patreon subscribers, now you, too, can enjoy this silly holiday tale as told by Dr. Calway on a sleepless Christmas Eve at Cottontail base. Features characters from the webcomic, Follower.

13 pages, black and white.

More Than One Side (Free!)

A short comic sponsored by members of the Chio Club, based on a fanfic by Hailed-Manic and illustrated by Bug. Explore the post-apocalyptic world of Messenger, as a curious city-dweller searches the ruins for books and relics of the past. Things change when they find something even more unexpected.

Download the complete story with a cover in PDF format and take it wherever you go!

Pay what you want – don’t worry about downloading for free as the comic itself is also available at messenger-comic.com for free.

6 pages, black and white interior.

Bug’s Got Car Problems

Posted on July 27, 2023July 28, 2023 by Bug

An update! As of 11:15 PM July 27. We made the goal, and I’m incredibly humbled, and I’m going to be able to get places. I’m leaving my stuff on sale for a while if anyone still wants to grab anything, I’m just gonna go. Fall down. 😲

So, as you probably know by now, I’ve been dealing with a newly-diagnosed connective tissue disorder as well as a heart condition which are basically ruining my life and making it hard to make comics or do anything pleasant in life, really. I have an amazing team of doctors who are making huge improvements to my life, but the big problem is that they are all about an hour (one way) from where I live, and to add insult to injury, my car needs an oil change I can’t afford and I realized the registration expired a while ago and I can’t afford to re-register, or pay the ticket for driving illegally. 😬

So, as a last ditch attempt to try and mitigate some of this, I put all my digital comics on sale on itch and ko-fi. All I need is 9 people to buy a bundle on itch and I can fix these issues.

If you’ve ever wanted to pick up some of the Follower bonus stories and single issues, this is the best opportunity for you and me!
