Cover workshop continued
This week I am writing Steeple 18, so here's the cover. I'm trying some different things with these covers because I think that is legitimate. It's not like they will ever appear on any shelf.
This one features all the chillwave notions that you love. I hope you enjoy my nutty sky gradients and surf Maggie. What is this issue about? You will have to wait a while to find out.
I'm at the point where production is quite a way ahead, but there will be significant interruptions to my webcomic-making in the coming months so I'm trying to steal the best march I can on those... without exhausting myself in the process. My current status is, alas, dangerously close to "exhausted".

Some household drama at this end (kids! wisdom teeth! a misbehaving mole, plucked from my face!) has kept me away from the Patreon apart from occasional glances, and I completely missed this. The composition on this cover is fabulous, and as Pierpaolo says, the palette is just lovely. I'll be swiping this one for my inspiration file.
Such a beautiful cover with delicate colors... I have no idea what the story will be like, but I kinda hope those two girls are the secret daughters of Brian and Tom.
maggie reminds me a little bit of animal from the muppets here. i mean this in the best way possible. her little face made me do an actual out-loud laugh at my desk. thanks for making these comics john
It's a wonderful cover. And, yes, as others have said, please take a rest. We'll be okay with a break when you need one.
Very groovy cover John! I'm kind of expecting the Yellow Submarine to show up here. Definitely take a well deserved rest!
Groovy, man. Don't forget to rest!
Love this! Makes up for this morning’s sewage release on my beach. Can’t wait to see what this storyline brings, and I’ll so be after a surf Maggie poster/print if such a thing ever happens 💙 look after yourself JA
Great cover, very psychedelic 60s. But don't burn yourself out! It's easier to accept a lull in comics than to find out you worked yourself to a breaking point.
Wow! This is a knockout cover
I love this color pallette
Have a rest, Johnny
