Still working on comics! Go buy them!
Reading "the Ghost Map" about the 1800's cholera epidemic and what kind of hell people were living in back when London was a city of three million people!
Thank goodness the one big takeaway from 2020 is that people shouldn't have to live packed like sardines as if it's the 20th Century anymore!
Lots of people we know are talking about moving out of large cities to WFH. Huge ugly cesspools like New York and Los Angeles simply don't need to exist anymore! Yay!
For the price of an apartment in NYC, people can own a three bedroom house fifteen-twenty minutes from family farms to buy just picked organic produce.
Heck, people are moving out of our area because the metro-Orlando is encroaching in and they want something less crowded!

Yes, I've been busy working on comics! Go buy them!
Small rant here:
We got a comedic black and white PARODY comic book submission--
and the guy seemed to think that this is the kind of thing that we publish.
To be quite honest, we were somewhat taken aback by this.
For starters, we're back to publishing color comics--and for the first time in full digital color!
Secondly, yes, we are actively looking for outside (hopefully established) properties to publish as comic books.
--BUT--
This was a PARODY comic. Bit of history here--the proliferation of the "parody" comic book was among the one of the major reasons for
the crash in black and white independent comics distribution back around 1987.
A couple of panels as a throwaway gag? Sure, that's one thing. An entire parody comic book? No way!
The absolute LAST thing we'd ever want to publish is a parody book and this was a parody of
an old movie. I'm talking roughly equivalent to: "if this was the 80's and someone approached us with a 'Maltese FaLcon/Sam Spade' parody" kind of old and sad.
Yeah, you may be the biggest Bogie fan in the world--but no one else wants to see a Bogart parody, dude. Sorry.
(Well, that and the female characters didn't have superhuman powers and not enough upfront--our fans wouldn't have that!)
Prior to that even, we got a fairly lucrative offer to do a comic book--but--it too was a blankety-blank parody comic.
I mean, we told the guy his "bold idea" had not only been done--decades earlier--but had failed miserably, not just as a comic book--but as a big budget motion picture-- and that didn't faze him.
I mean, what the hell--does every-dang-body out there just want to do
parody crap instead of superhero comics or does everybody think that's
what superhero comics are supposed to be?
So, to reiterate, we are not looking for parody comics--(although I have a weakness for characters that sing "Word Up" while
fighting aliens--but Mark and Bill would probably veto me on that one...) but we are looking!

Dude, when did the world outside my window turn into a Tom Clancy novel?! Run this forward 30 minutes to get to the other guy and listen.

Things that make you go hmmmm: The Panel on COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines recommended against
COVID-19 being treated by hydroxychloroquine with or without azithromycin. Nine members of the
Panel Panel on COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines have financial ties to a medical company called
Gilead. Remdesivir, which is made by Gilead is being tested as an expensive alternative
treatment to COVID-19. Hydroxychloroquine is a generic drug with very low profit margins.

At this point we all know that this was the
"mysterious" vaping disease from last year/aka Wu-Flu /aka COVID-19 and it has been out for MONTHS--
--Open it all back up already. Seriously, are we destroying people's jobs and the economy
for politics?! SERIOUSLY?

Still working on comics despite the "Wu-Flu". Desperately wanting to go out to eat or go "shopping-shopping", not only groceries--just to look around.
There's no reason why the rest of the country should be treated like a "one-size fits all" disaster area.
Outside of crazy, crowded places like arenas, and parks (which should limit people),
I think most people should be able to function close to normal.
Just avoid any sort of public transportation and foot traffic and just stick to cars!
How simple is that?
Let's open back up stores, restaurants and supply lines of warehouses and trucks!
"Social distancing" should take care of itself.

It's 2017! It's going to be a great year!
The sun is shining and the birds are chirping! Of course, we're late on a book!

Yes, this is an really old post, but I'm keeping it up. Sept 4, 2014
Hi folks, Too busy!
We're having an open submissions "cattle-call" on pencillers, inkers and letterers.
We actively need classic comic book artists and
people who can draw attractive pin-up/ cheesecake "good girl art"-style in panel-to panel continuity for the book we already publish,
but we are looking at other possible types for other publications.
Direct us to online graphics for samples of your work,those who email samples will be tossed.
Art must be black and white line art,
We only need comics art in digital form, so you can keep and/or
sell your physical artwork post-publication.
Don't expect payment upfront, but we are working on getting back to actively paying
freelancers.
If you're interested, email us at FemforceHQ @ AOL.com
