Pear-pear's blog

Comic Within a Comic

This week I'm introducing a comic strip within the world of Pear-Pear. That's all I'll say; just wanted to put a teaser out there.

Mug Shots

I was inspired to do this challenge by a current thread on TWCL. It was a valuable exercise for me seeing as pear-pear is nonverbal, and due to the art style, very minor angles, differences of spacing or proportions in the facial features can create totally different emotions in the characters.

Thanks Pear-Pear Readers!

After four weeks of successfully making time to update Pear-Pear on the weekends, it's more than a little gratifying to see our site stats on the rise this month.

Pear-Pear drew over a thousand unique visitors (1240) for the first time since January. Where does this traffic come from? We like to think in part from the product, but we know its mostly because of others linking and blogging on our behalf.

5 Months of Internet Death...and the Resolve to Resume Pear-Pear

A new comic is up. This shouldn't, in an ideal world, be occasion for a blog post. But in my case, it is...

Pear-Pear crawls gaspingly back from the dead!

*Hack*...*Gasp*...*Sputter*...Unnggghhh!

There! After a three-month internet death, I've finally posted the next installment in the story. Hopefully you already knew because you subscribed to our RSS feed all those months ago and were notified!

Boy teaching takes up all my time. I love it though. It just leaves preciously little webcomicking time. Here's hoping I'll be able to keep updating!

Pear-Pear Pics from the Mid-Jersey Comicon

About three weeks ago, the Pear-Pear Team made its first public appearance at the Mid-Jersey Comicon. Here, at long last, is some reflection on that momentous occasion. And a few pictures.

Feed Me Pears!

Pear-Pear now features RSS feed subscription. Just click the handy icon at the bottom of the page. This comes none too soon, as the school year will shortly be upon me, and updates will return to a much more sporadic schedule. I know I quickly lose interest in a site that doesn't update frequently, so hopefully we can hang on to some readers through the bitter winter months via subscriptions.

 

Peddling Pears at the Mid-Jersey ComiCon

If you happen to be in the neighborhood of Bordentown, NJ this Saturday, August 16, be sure to drop by the Mid-Jersey ComiCon. It's a modest get-together of creators and vendors, and I'll be there promoting Pear-Pear. We'll have a couple freebies and items for sale--possibly some original art, but alas no books or prints. I'll mainly be going to meet people and get our names out there. Hope to see you there!

New Environs

So. What's with that 70s floral kitchen chair? and that spicerack? and that doily?

The last few comics feature these additions to the scenery not just to signify that the protagonists are inhabiting some new environs, but to try and give some clues as to the nature of those environs and what sort of events might ensue.

Blogging in Comix Form

So far, Comixtalk has been an excellent forum and tool for me to put into words all the thinking surrounding Pear-Pear. As we continue to develop the website, I'll always be thankful for the resources and community here and at TCWL. But something was bugging me about the whole setup.
