Canister X – A.P. FuchsWriter, Artist, Creator
The first full episode of Fredrikus aired this morning. This marks the first episode/story of the strip. The second episode has already been loaded into Patreon and into the master site for next week’s update.
In the meantime, why not head over to the main Fredrikus hub and have a read over a coffee or tea?
Enjoy.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Have a good day, reader.
Status Report – 052120:
Greetings, reader.
We are doing not too bad this morning. A little off but nothing that a few hours in the chair won’t cure.
Part of what we’re doing here is retooling working methods yet again because, it seems, the weeks are taking on a kind of pattern where the beginning of the week goes one way, the latter half another.
Part of the new paradigm, I suppose.
Today’s main job is finishing a new episode of Fredrikus in terms of color. As the page stands right now, flat colors are all laid in. Modeling is the next step (whereby shading and such is added). Once this is complete, then we’ll get it ready to air for down the road.
Not sure as yet what the other tasks will be. There are a few floating items that need tending to so might be one of those.
Let’s see what the day brings.
This has been your Status Report for 052120.
Fredrikus Webcomic Released!
In this video, I announce the release of Fredrikus to the world!
Check out the video below for the announcement.
To read Fredrikus every Friday–or whenever you want–head over here.
Don’t forget to subscribe. Helps fuel my comic making.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks.
At long last, Fredrikus the webcomic is released into the world!
Debuting today is the cover to the first issue and the opening page, which you can read on-line for free by going here. (Refresh your browser if you’ve visited before.)
Also released are the Fredrikus tiers on Patreon, which I talked about here.
Both platforms treat you to the comic on a weekly schedule. (The Patreon version, which includes bonus material, airs Thursdays; the regular version airs Fridays).
Follow the story of an anthropomorphic dog in a dystopian sci-fi world. Find out his quirks. Learn about his work. Read about his life.
Go check Fredrikus out!
See you in tomorrow’s newsletter.
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.
Just uploaded a penciled and inked page of Fredrikus to the Behind the Scenes tier on Patreon.
By becoming a patron, you get access to looks at projects before anyone else and in a way that is typically not shown via my other online channels. The Behind the Scenes tier also gets you access to the serial novel, essays on the creative life (along with helpful tips), and, soon, the special version of the upcoming Fredrikus webcomic, which contains bonus material that won’t be available elsewhere online. Oh, and you also get a nifty Official Canister X membership card only available at this tier level and up.
Fredrikus Webcomic Coming May 15 2020.
On Friday, May 15, I will be launching my serial webcomic, Fredrikus.
This strip has been a long time in the making and the character has been with me since before I started in this business. Exciting times, and you’re invited on the journey.
The strip will air at a frequency of one episode per week. It is free and will air every Friday on the Fredrikus website.
Also launching next week is the Fredrikus Patreon tier, which gets you access to the comic a day early and bonus material only available to patrons (and in the eventual published collected edition).
Almost there!
In the meantime, feel free to drop me a line with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you.
Status Report – 050420:
Today, we uploaded a new video to YouTube, worked on the cover to Fredrikus No. 1, and did some administration stuff.
What you see in the pic above is part of Fredrikus No. 1, page 1.
This strip will be in color.
The cover is around 50% complete (color flats are down and modeling has begun).
Hope you dig Fredrikus when he debuts, especially if life humor is your thing.

vLog – Wrong Turn to Mars 2 (Updates).
Once again, I got myself lost on the red planet of Mars, but thought I’d give you an update anyway. Watch the video to find out where things are at with my upcoming webcomic, Fredrikus, as well as the final chapter of Gigantigator Death Machine for Patreon, and more.
Be sure to like and subscribe! More videos on the way!
As always, feel free to contact me with any questions.
Status Report – 050120:
Today’s main goals are two:
Prep tomorrow’s edition of The Canister X Transmission (complete)
Ink the cover to Fredrikus No. 1 (in process)
Secondary goals depend on when the inks are done.
After this cover is inked, all ready pages of Fredrikus will be scanned into the computer to be colored and assembled into a comic book for both on-line and off-line enjoyment.
Also note a new month starts today on Patreon. We have one more chapter of Gigantigator Death Machine to air and then it’ll be time for the new serial novel, which will be announced fairly soon. Just a buck gets you access to Gigantigator Death Machine and the new serial novel. That’s two books for one bean a month. Join the journey by going here. Hope to see you there.
Lastly, and as always, feel free to drop me a note any time.
Have a good weekend.
