This past month PHINKWELL presented 26 new strips.

MY OWN PETARD continues the story of Ant Pini and Scutt as they are joined by Elda Pucci. She has a new comics zine that documents her latest art project. A new star is born!

In Tommy’s SKY HIGH, the bear’s explosive plan backfires, but, as a result, he may have a friend he never knew he had.

Steve’s BACK AND FORTH begins this month with an uncomfortable reunion over a cup of coffee and ends with a fifteen year jump backward to Dale’s bellicose childhood.

HENRY begins to be Henry with the beginnings of his Henryesque antics in the pages of the Saturday Evening Post in the Spring of 1932.

Dre’s DEE’S DREAM strip began it’s first story with its titular heroine kneeling before the porcelain god as she recalls the day, many years ago, when she was a hurling flower.

Regretfully, Cyn Why’s POSEABLE THUMBS will no longer be appearing on PHINKWELL as of May 11.

Yo, Tommy and I drove up to the MoCCA 2012 comics festival in NYC on Saturday. I’ve written a detailed report (with photos by Tommy) on the events of the first day of the two day festival. You can read it below the jump.

Yo, I just saw BACK AND FORTH‘s Steve Teare’s band, FLAT MARY ROAD, perform last night. They were having a show to promote their new CD, The Early Era. Steve’s the lead singer and rhythm guitar (and if that weren’t enuff, he designed and illustrated the cover). The band sounded amazing and I had a great time.

Find out more about the band and the CD and check out their video.

This past month PHINKWELL presented 13 new strips.

Yo, in this “non-Phillip” MY OWN PETARD story, Ant Pini meets up with a friend he hasn’t seen in awhile. Ant has gained weight, to be sure, but why won’t anyone pay any attention to him when he explains why?  After March 14, PETARD goes on a two week hiatus until April 2.

Tommy’s strip SKY HIGH was on hiatus but returns April 3.

Cyn soberly reflects on her own reproductive future as she cradles a friend’s newborn in POSEABLE THUMBS.

BACK AND FORTH begins this month with A painful shot to the kneecaps and ends with Dale meeting an old friend of the opposite sex.

Hey! This week PHINKWELL posted it’s 100th comic strip.

We’re just getting warmed up. Two new series will premiere in a few weeks.

This past month PHINKWELL presented 25 new strips. Here’s the rundown:

The MY OWN PETARD winter holiday special, “Phillip’s Winter Solstice Miracle,” is in its final act. What really happened that night of the winter solstice. Decide for yourself by reading it from the beginning.

Over in SKY HIGH the bear learns a new fishing technique from a disreputable TV show to the pika’s displeasure. (Tommy’s strip is on hiatus and will return in April.)

POSEABLE THUMBS presents the long awaited continuation and conclusion to Cyn’s milti-part trip to Texas saga, TEX-STRAVAGANZA! Then she proceeds to embarrass herself, first with ice then with leggings.

In BACK AND FORTH the narrative jumps ahead two and a half years. After a time passage montage we meet Dale’s mom. Later Dale has an unusual encounter in the supermarket with a boy and a baseball bat.

This past month PHINKWELL presented 25 new strips. Here’s the rundown:

The MY OWN PETARD winter holiday special, “Phillip’s Winter Solstice Miracle,” continues. What is Phillip doing, standing by the river on a cold winter’s night? Find out for yourself.

Bear must eat fish! But what if bear’s momma never taught him how? SKY HIGH‘s bear gotta learn soon. He be hungry.

In POSEABLE THUMBS, Cyn’s likes Tommy just fine but what’s the deal with Scandinavia anyways? Then she presents the first part of her “existentially” lost in the Lone Star state story, TEX-STRAVAGANZA!

No guy has ever lived who hasn’t had a highly emotional argument with a girl who has just stormed away from him to the security of her car while he wonder’s WTF happened. Dale is having this slice of life served up cold in this month’s BACK AND FORTH.

Tommy, Cyn and I drove up to the BROOKLYN COMICS AND GRAPHICS FESTIVAL 2011 on Saturday. I’ve written a detailed report on the events of the day long festival. If you want to read it then click right here, why don’t you.
