IRIS JAY SUPER COMICS

July 3, 2013

This is a promo art piece that Nero and I collaborated on to advertise our new digital zine, RRUFFURR ONLINE.

Basically how it came about was this: We’re both fans of comics with animal people in them, and we noticed that there are a lot of really cool, unique cartoonists and artists working with them right now. We were inspired by Brian Curtis’s RRUFFURR anthology, and how it managed to draw a wide variety of talent together to make a new, weird and unprecedentedly innovative collection of anthro comics, but we also wanted some of that same vibrant energy to be available to read by anyone, anywhere. So we started sending him some e-mails, and the idea of a biannual online magazine took shape.

Months later, we’re kicking off our first issue: an anthro comic showcase that also serves as a proof of concept for our larger goals. For future issues, we’re aiming to include more content per issue, and to cooperate with more artists from many different backgrounds. If you like animal people comics even half as much as I do, visit the site and read the rad stuff we’ve got on there– my first issue of MEGAHERTZ, Nero’s RED RIVERS premiere, Melissa Fox’s arresting WHAT WE’RE TOLD and an exclusive excerpt from T’s THE CITY DREAMS OF TAMINO THE CAT– and then let us know what you think at admin@rruffurronline.com. (Tips are also appreciated, since they’ll be split equally between our participating artists & editors.)

Expect me to talk a LOT more about RRUFFURR ONLINE in the future. I’m incredibly excited about this project, and I hope you will be too!
