Whew.  Anytime a comic has a reboot it runs the risk of having everything topple over and the fans revolting.  I’m glad that you guys stuck with us.  We got a lot of positive feedback about the new direction and we’re going to keep the new setup.  When I finish a few more games and watch a lot more anime I’ll probably do another anime/game parody as a side-comic.  That, however, will need to wait.

We’ll have to stop for a little break.  The reasons are all explained in the video, but the short of it is that it’s convention season and a bunch of art and coloring jobs came in.  This kind of happens every year and this year isn’t an exception.

We’re going to try and fill in the interim with videos and sketches this time – and we’re going to crank up a Kickstarter to see about having printed books made.  We’ll have a video and information about the Kickstarter up in the next two weeks.  If you have comments about what you want to see in a Kickstarter (specifically about how many stories you want in a book) us please let us know on the Facebook page or via email.

Here’s our video response to all your questions.  Thanks everyone.  We had a lot of fun and hope to have a lot of fun in the future.

Right?

I have been sick since Wed. and am only now getting over it, so we’ll do the Q&A videos next week.  I apologize for the delay, but we have to wait for both of us to be well enough to record.  If you want to add more questions please feel free.  We’re going to answer them all.

Next week will be the final page of this arc.

I hope everyone has a good week and we’ll see you next Monday.

I’m tired too. 

Tracy was sick all week so we’ll do the Q&A video next week.  If you have more questions for us please ask them because we could actually use a few more questions to fill it out.   I have the questions that have already been asked saved and waiting.  You can use our Facebook page or the email form to ask whatever you want.

In other news, We’ve got a friend who could use new shoes.  If you’re in the market for a commission please check this site out.  Razz works in black and white and she’s got a fun style. 

Thanks everyone!

I wrote this comic arc while I was moving across the country.  I know how it is to be in a new place with fresh people who seem like old friends, but with different faces.  It’s a new start and a scary one, but we hope for the best, steel for the changes, and put our most agreeable faces on.  Then we pray it works out.   

There’s one more page to this story arc and we’re done with the first book.  I hope you’ve enjoyed it.  Tracy is going to work on getting colors finished up for all the pages and I will work on setting up a Kickstarter.  If enough people want more Catena, want printed copies of this book (or past comics), and so on, the Kickstarter can make that happen.  I’ll have lots more to say about that as we get closer to putting it all together.

For next week we’d like to answer questions via Youtube.  Please post your questions to us on Facebook (or e-mail them to me using the form on this website) and we will try to answer them on our next video! 

The rest of last week’s MRE video is available now too.   You can check that out by clicking here.  MREs tasted like canned food that was a little stale and sort of plastic-y.  I’m sure they’re great if that’s all you have, but we’ll stick to fresh from now on.  Videos 6-8 were just posted.

Thanks everyone.

Every time I think about dubstep I think about this  (NSFW due to language).

Catnip is a thing in the Catena universe.

I got about half the Youtube videos up of our MRE eating experience.  Our writer is wearing the black hat.  He’s under the permanent delusion that everywhere we go is a radioactive wasteland.  He played way, way too much Fallout.  The person to his right is Razz, an awesome comic artist and long-time friend (who also helps us write for Ivy).  Lastly our camera person is Tracy.  You’ll see her next time (after I get the rest of the videos entered into the play list).  One of our videos got eaten by Youtube so I’m having to wait for it to upload again.  Sigh!  But hey, this is my first time doing anything with video ever so cut me some slack.  I turned Youtube comments off because of reasons.

In the mean time, we’ve got 30 minutes of nerds living it up in the woods.   Oh yes, hats off to the military who has to eat stuff like this.  Thanks for your service!

These videos are raw footage, tongue-in-cheek, and well - we cursed a little.  Oops.  Don’t say you weren’t warned.

For the full playlist click here.

If you like the videos, say so on our Facebook page and maybe we’ll make more.  As examples I could:  film a lot of cool stuff at Comic-Con San Diego later this year, do some skits, roll some “let’s plays”, do some videos with our cats, do some terrible things with craft paper, or maybe make some creepy pastas.  I might learn how to use a camera or maybe do proper editing.  WHO KNOWS?   The possibilities are endless.

The videos I took of us eating “interesting” MREs took a *lot* longer to upload than I thought.  They’re still actually uploading as I type this and well, it’s bed time.  Next time I’ll get that sort of thing started earlier.  Maybe we’ll make this a Wed. deal or something.   I’ll post on the Catena Facebook if it goes that way.

In the mean time we have our normally scheduled comic.   Neat!

PS: If you have an ad blocker installed it’d be appreciated if you considered disabling it for this site.  Thanks!

 See you next week!

Sorry for the delay today.  Life happened!

We shot some videos this weekend that feature the creators of Catena…   Eating MREs.  Why?  WHY?  Oh man those things were…  Special.

I thought it’d be fun to sort of introduce ourselves after a long, long silence.  When I get the videos edited and find a good place to host them they’ll appear here on the site.

Have a good week!

He doesn’t want to go “swimming”.  I like that all of his eyes are frowning at once.

I wonder if the guys will make it down in time for free eats.  Bear seems like the handy type, so we’ll see.

Thanks to everyone who “liked” our Facebook page.  I announce new comics there and explain outages.   I know that a lot of people don’t like FB, though.  I’ll keep that in mind in the year going forward and see if there is a popular alternative that might work in addition to it.  Shoot me some e-mail if you know of something. 

Have a great week!

Mr. Cuddles knows.

We have 1982 likes on our Facebook page, can we get 2000?  I like round numbers. 

We’re about 2/3s of the way through this story arc.  The printed comic will be around 35-40 pages and in color.  We’re going to add some fun stuff at the end for fun.

I’m going to start writing the next script soon.  Woo Catena!

Have you ever had one of those days?  Treiss has.  I think she may have snapped.  I bet her accent comes out when she gets mad.

Have a great week everyone!
