Beyond Familiar Shores Phase One – Part One is in The Books!
We’ve never done a Titles/Credits page before, so this is something new for us. Our esteemed Letterer/Designer, Ben Timmreck, put this BAD BOY together for us and I think it is très cool. I hope y’all are digging it, as well.
A bit of housekeeping:
1. “Phase One – Part One.” What the heck does that mean? I’m glad you asked. The short answer is that Beyond Familiar Shores is going to be a long-ass story. When it is all said and done it will be somewhere in the vicinity of three times longer than the biggest stories in Volume One.
Each “Phase” will have three “Parts” and in the end there will be a total of three “Phases.” Sounds complicated? Don’t worry, all you have to do is keep reading, one page at a time!
2. NEXT WEEK we unveil the COVER for Beyond Familiar Shores! It is, by far, the WEIRDEST cover to date. You do not want to miss it!
3. In TWO WEEKS, they story re-commences with the start of Phase One – Part Two. We are going BACK to the FUTURE and reconnecting with an OLD CHUM. I know you are going to love it!
Till next time!

Hey hey hey, what’s with all the higher Math? According to a very scientific survey (conducted at the local campus pub), multiplication before 9:00 a.m. causes brain rot in 4 out of 5 academics (and the 5th one was already passed out).
Let’s see … 3 phases … in 3 parts (carry the 8 ) … is like 12 parts (I had to count on my toes to make sure).
You know I’ll be along for the ride!
I´m very bad at math, but… 3×3 isn´t 9 ?
Great design!
Boy, good thing you are an Artist and not a Mathemawhatician… :p
Whatever it adds up to it’s definitely a lot!
And, T. Gatto, you don’t know how much it means to us to know (even without you saying) that you’ll be with us every step of the way.
Gah! First they start holding us poor comedians (yeah, that can go more than one way…) to ‘standards’, and now they want us to do Math?!
For cryin’ out loud, I just wanna see some fisticuffs, purty ladies (we’re still fairly low on that metric, but we be OK), and lotsa stuff gettin’ blow’d to smithereens (especially if it’s Frankenschmittlers). Y’know, fun stuff like that to give proper distraction from boring things…like Math.
*sigh*
The things I put up with for a little bit ‘o adventure storytime.
TL;DR – Count me in for the long haul.
Well dammit, now we’ll never find out how deep young mcginty’s accent goes and if he can reach critical mass and go full-blown Sean Connery.
Oh, I think he’s definitely moving into Connery territory…
And, you’ll see more of Young McGinty…just not for a while.
Sean Connery?
I can think of other Scottish actors who are more unintelligible than him, with Robert Carlyle springing immediately to mind. Most of the time I can understand him fine, but there was this ONE line from an episode of his TV show “Hamish MacBeth” (quite good, actually) that, no matter how many times I replayed it, never sounded like anything other than absolute gibberish. It was truly maddening and I finally gave up.
Anyway, I lost my train of thought, but I know it was making a stop somewhere in the vicinity of McGinty’s character-defining Scottish brogue, so I guess I’ll just wait at the station until the 3:10 to Yuma arrives.
