Fredrikus: The Webcomic Return?

Posted on February 22, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Fredrikus: The Webcomic Return?

I’ve been giving FREDRIKUS a bunch of thought and his world is certainly one I want to get back to. I have other pressing committments like THE BATTLE OF POWER TRILOGY for THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA and I committed this year to superhero fiction as the priority. However, the artist in me wants to draw something too.

A lot has changed in my life since the last FREDRIKUS strip and, as is the spirit of the strip about a down-and-out anthropomorphic dog in a dystopian sci-fi world, there are some things I need to say and the webcomic is a good place to say it.

So, that said, my plan is to create new strips at a leisurely, non-deadline pace then share them with you. I’m not saying they’ll be anytime soon. Just saying it’ll be an unseen side project while I work on other things so my hand’s itch to draw is satisfied.

In the meantime, there is a special plan for the current strips available but I will reveal that in due time.

For now, start at the beginning and read a couple issues’ worth of free comics. The Fredrikus webcomic is waiting for you.

Patreon Invite

A ton of cool stuff has been happening over at the Patreon page. It serves as a special place to hold all that I share in public plus a pile of stuff for patrons only. Right now we’re airing two serial books, behind the scenes stuff, special articles, blog posts, videos, and more.

The patron-only video this month asks the all-important question: Does God Speak German? And before you berate me, there’s a reason for the video.

It’s amusing items like the above that keep the page fresh, educational, and also entertaining.

I’m having a lot of fun with Patreon 2.0 and I invite you to join me there for the same.

Here’s the trailer:

See you there. Oh, don’t forget about the books and comics here on this blog, too.

2024 Studio Changes

Posted on February 3, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

2024 Studio Changes

Well, I’ve been working in the same space for almost five years. This is the only room in the house that accomodates my desks and equipment to bring you books and comics and a pile of other stuff.

However, it’s time to change the decor and shuffle things around. Depending what Melinda says, I might even be able to free up an additional 2′ x 6′ area that’s presently occupied within the studio. As well, with a new studio layout comes new decorations so I’d like to showcase the studio as it is right now one more time before we say farewell to this version and change things up for 2024 and beyond.

Here’s the teaser I shot to hint at the tour:

The Phantom’s Door. A.P. Fuchs Studio Tour coming soon to YouTube

And here is the tour itself. Hope you tune in when the 2024 studio changes kick in and all is complete and a tour is given.

See you inside.

Some Thoughts on Blogging

Posted on February 1, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Some Thoughts on Blogging

Just sitting here thinking about blogging. It’s considered a great sin in the blogging world for a blogger to blog about blogging. But, every now and then should be okay, right?

To be honest, I don’t have much to add to the idea of blogging or what a blog is. I mean, what is a blog anymore? A long, long time ago in an Internet far, far away, blogs were basically public journals where writers–pro or hobby–could express thoughts and opinions on whatever topic, post it up for the world to see, then hope someone out there agrees with them.

I’ve been thinking about this blog here at Canister X, the Realm of Heroes and Monsters. It’s not really a blog, is it? I mean, kind of. It’s runs on a WordPress engine so thus a blogging platform. The site’s divided into sections and pages, I have the main window of this place to share whatever I want on any given day, and I try and encourage you to explore the site because there’s lots here from articles, to comics, to artwork, to videos, to podcasts–I mean, we’re not really blogging anymore per se. We’re not journaling or running a series of articles on a topic as our main thing either. We’re just sharing art and writing and hoping to entertain and inform you. That’s it.

This site–this place–is more a multimedia hub than a blog-blog. And that’s how I’ve been viewing it for a while: A place of free entertainment and a celebration of pop culture, superheroes, and monsters.

Just some random thoughts this early Sunday afternoon (the time I’m writing this).

Well, let’s just go forward step by step and take it from there.

“Every day’s a brand new deal, right? Just keep on working and something’s bound to turn up.” – Harvey Pekar, AMERICAN SPLENDOR

Peace.

Read Fredrikus: The Webcomic From the Beginning

Posted on January 30, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Been feeling lost?

Why not come home to an old favorite: FREDRIKUS, a webcomic about a down-and-out anthropomorphic dog in a dystopian sci-fi world?

It’s about life, screwing up, getting some wisdom, then hitting that hard road again to get it done.

Serialized comics in episode form. Plus, the cartoon (see below) that birthed it all.

Read FREDRIKUS the webcomic by clicking on the graphic below.

Please visit the Art page on this website for more drawing and cartooning.

Winnipeg Comiccon 2024 Appearance

Posted on January 24, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Winnipeg Comiccon 2024 Appearance

If you’re a reader of my newsletter you’ll know that I’m booked to table in Artist Alley at the Winnipeg Comiccon on October 25 to 27, 2024 at the RBC Convention Centre downtown. It’s a huge show and I’m excited to take a part in it after taking some breathing room from doing shows.

I also have a couple other conventions I’d like to lock down for this year but am still investigating. Some local book signings would be nice, too, but one thing at a time.

In the mean time, yeah, Winnipeg Comiccon 2024 appearance this fall.

See you there!

Canister X Mailbag – Harvey Pekar’s “Not the Israel My Parents Promised Me” and “On the Fly” Unboxing – 01112024

Canister X Mailbag – Harvey Pekar’s “Not the Israel My Parents Promised Me” and

“On the Fly” Unboxing – 01112024

I’ve been a fan of Harvey Pekar ever since I watched AMERICAN SPLENDOR all those years ago. It’s my comfort movie for a lot of reasons, one of which is simply the ability to relate to Harvey and his battle through life. He wrote comics about the everyday stuff. And they were good. I have quite a few graphic novels of his outside of AMERICAN SPLENDOR and Harvey always delivers.

You need to check him out, especially if you’re big into comics. It’s mandatory reading.

NOT THE ISRAEL MY PARENTS PROMISED ME by Harvey Pekar and JT Waldman on Amazon.

ON THE FLY by Harvey Pekar and Summer McClinton on Amazon.

Conventions and Book Signings 2024

Posted on January 10, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Conventions and Book Signings 2024

Things are already underway in terms of 2024’s event schedule. Winnipeg Comic Con is on the list and I’m going to look into FanQuest. As well, plans are slowly in motion for an out-of-town convention in Saskatchewan. I need to consult with my SK creators as to what show(s) they’re doing and which would be the best one to table at.

I might attempt a couple local book signings at the old bookshop but those won’t be for a bit yet. It’s been a long while since I signed at a bookstore.

Announcements will be made as things are locked down. So right we’re in the planning stages for conventions and book signings 2024.

Confirmed events will be listed here.

Stay tuned.

Realm of Heroes and Monsters YouTube Playlist Index

Realm of Heroes and Monsters YouTube Playlist Index

As you might have guessed–because I’ve been blatantly obvious–I spent a good chunk of 2023 beefing up my YouTube channel in an effort to 1) Play in another medium 2) Put some eyeballs on my books and comics 3) Entertain or inform you as best as I am able.

We did not bad and had growing stats week by week. Sure, there were some dips in the analytics but you can’t hit the ball out of the park every time.

Below is a newly-curated list of my playlists on YouTube. It’d be really great if you subscribed to one that strikes your fancy. Part of the goal with this whole YouTube thing is to use it as a funding channel–which costs my viewers nothing other than 2 seconds to click subscribe–so I can more easily bring you more books and comics and other entertainment. If you haven’t already subscribed to the channel, please do so. It really does help out an independent creator like me make ends meet.

Here are the playlists on my channel in no particular order as we embark into 2024.

Enjoy!
