Canister X – A.P. FuchsWriter, Artist, Creator
Come watch as I unbox my Kickstarter reward for backing Blackthorne No. 4. The comic turned out amazing and best yet? It’s in grayscale. I’m a huge fan of black and white comics.

Status Report – 020721:
I’ve been off my sabbatical since the beginning of January. Since then, I’ve done my best to work at a pace that is more health-ful. It’s one thing to go 1000mph, but it’s also important to know when to ease off the gas. I had my foot to the floor for too long and paid the price, which was burn out. It took about five months to recover to the point where I can go a little harder without compromising my health. I still made art during those months but at a much slower pace.
Since being off sabbatical, I’ve spent most of my time making comics, namely Fredrikus.
Episodes 18-20 have aired along with the front cover and first page of Issue 2. Go here to check them out.
Episode 21 to air shortly.

This week I was a guest on Joshua Pantalleresco’s Just Joshing webcast/podcast. We talked books and comics. It was a great time despite me being awkward for the first bit (my social skills are rusty due to the lockdown).
Anyway, we had a great time and you can check out the episode by going here.
Enjoy!

Status Report – 052720:
We’re a little off today but nothing too bad. Namely just tired.
This morning we uploaded a new episode of Fredrikus both to Patreon and to the main comic site. This episode will air in early June.
I’m also giving thought to Project Rebuild and a loose timeline for it since 2020 as a whole screwed up the original schedule. I have a skeleton of a timeline and I think having a quasi-rigid/quasi-fluid structure to it is a good move at this juncture. I’ll try not to throw out any dates in case 2020 has more surprises but I will do my best on my end to be timely with the whole thing.
On the agenda for today is making more comics and I think I know what next week is going to generally look like as well. In the meantime, need to finish off the current week.
Anyway, here are some links to some terrific creators. You’d do well to check out their work.

Canister X Mailbag – Blackthorne Unboxing – May242020
Come join me as I unbox a comic book package from writer/artist Colin Work featuring his independent superhero, Blackthorne!

For more on Blackthorne and Colin Work, please go here.
Be sure to subscribe to the channel. Videos are being added all the time.

Thanks.
This morning, I set up new Fredrikus tiers on Patreon and uploaded the cover and opening page to the comic both to the public Fredrikus site and to Patreon (where you get to read the comic a day early and get access to bonus material only available to patrons and the published editions). Patreon’s airing of the strip is every Thursday; general public version of the strip airs every Friday.
The new tier levels are two and they are broken down below:
Serial Webcomics
For $1, you get access to the FREDRIKUS comic strip and its bonus material (bonus material exclusive to Patreon and the published editions). Updates weekly (Thursdays) and you get it a day before the general public.
Regular Patreon-only blog posts, which include video.
Serial Comics, Novels, and Essays
For $3, you get complete access to the FREDRIKUS comic strip and its bonus material (bonus material exclusive to Patreon and the published editions). Updates weekly (Thursdays) and you get it a day before the general public.
Both serial novels.
Patreon-only essay blog posts.
Regular Patreon-only blog posts, which include video.
That’s quite a lot of content for a very good deal so please consider joining my Patreon journey and be treated to ongoing stories and patron-only material on a regular basis.
Thank you in advance for your support of these new Fredrikus Patreon tiers. Hope you guys dig the comic when it debuts along with the new serial novel, which starts airing next week! (Announcement soon.)
Feel free to contact me with any questions.
