🚨 New Thing Alert! 🚨

Hello beloved reader - I've got a new game coming soon!

It's called Power Vacuum, and it's a trick-taking game (in the genre of Spades or Hearts if you've played those) set in a dystopian world of anthropomorphic household appliances in which you build a statue to your own greatness. It's coming to Kickstarter next month - click the banner or here for more info.

The game was designed by my pal Kaleb Wentzel-Fisher, published by me under my Keen Bean Studio imprint, and all the illustration and art direction is also by me! It was a great fun challenge to draw appliance-people in a Cold War setting - not what I am used to, that is for sure. Here's a sample of some art that appears on a card:

We launch in April so I will be mentioning it in emails over the next couple weeks.

Cheerio!

Your pal,

Mal

Change is in the air!

Loyal reader: I'm trying something new, and I hope you'll come along with me. I'm going to test the waters of publishing Itchy Feet exclusively on Tinyview.

The kind folks at Tinyview approached me a few months back about hosting comics on their app. They genuinely want to make the online (especially mobile) comic-reading experience better - and they want to support comic artists as well. They're good people.

Tinyview is paying me to publish on the app, and for the first time in my life I am facing the possibility of actually making a living off of this web comic. How crazy is that!!? Yes, I've had my Patreon going for a while, and it's absolutely helped - but it was never a living wage, and I never expected it to be. This whole Tinyview thing came out of the blue. I never thought of Itchy Feet as a job. I never had aspirations of "making it big in webcomics," haha. It was just something that I did for fun, and it kinda snowballed all by itself, and now here we are.

In February 2021 I'll have been making Itchy Feet for ten years. That's a decade of consistent weekly comics, rain or shine. Almost 500! And I still don't have plans to quit my day job and make comics all day long. But you know what? I'm open to anything. If you're anything like me, you're a traveler, and that means you're always eager to see what's around the next bend. You're willing to be flexible with your plans, to adjust with the challenges and opportunities that come along. 

So, I want to see if this will work. It might not! Worst case, I'll come back and publish comics here like I always have done. But there's a chance this might take off, and that's new territory that I'm keen to explore.

I want to thank you for reading this comic, especially if you've been here for many years. This has only been possible because of you. 

And Itchy Feet is not going anywhere! It just has a new home base. I hope you'll join me there.

Your pal,

Mal
