Three Comic Books are going into Pre-Press Production in July for a small print run!

So, I was busy Sunday evening designing and putting together comic book covers for SEA SHANTY FUNNIES. 
I realize that I have enough story material for TWO full 28-page comic books to collect for posterity my past SEA SHANTY FUNNIES web comic strips from the first half of this year in a traditional full four-color print format like I recently self-published a few months ago for SEA SHANTY FUNNIES #1.

Honestly, I pay for these out of pocket and just hope to recoup the cost of printing and mailing at this point. I don't have distribution in comic shops. This is a labor of love and just a small niche thing small press thing not entering the mass market.

I intend to gather up this year's SEA SHANTY FUNNIES webcomics so far up through the "Watching the Detectives" and "SEA SHANTY FUNNIES TV Questionnaire" parody. I will send both comics AT THE SAME TIME to the printer in July.

While I am doing that, I am also collecting one of my creator-owned independent comic strips from the world of THRILL SEEKER COMICS with "Case of the Missing Guitar" featuring my detective character MS. TITTENHURST that I co-created with my wife Jennifer. We ran this as a webcomic a few years ago and I just never got around to collecting it into a printed comic book. So, I'm going to send this to the printer at the same time as SEA SHANTY FUNNIES #2 and #3.

For those with a keen eye, Ms. Tittenhurst (known as 'Dottie') made a cameo "crossover" appearance during the "Watching the Detectives" interviews in SEA SHANTY FUNNIES for fun as an Easter Egg for those loyal THRILL SEEKER COMICS fans who are also reading SEA SHANTY FUNNIES.

I'll post updates when I know more and get further down the road in the process. My goal for 2026 has been to publish three issues of SEA SHANTY FUNNIES in a limited run and it looks like I'll get to do it before the summer is over. One fringe benefit is that printing at the same time will save on shipping costs if I can mail them both together in August or so to those that are wanting them.

Anyway, I thought some of you readers might like a sneak peek as I'm excited about getting these printed and holding them in my own hands. I hope those of you wanting a copy will be excited, too!
