Happy, hard-earned progress from Mr. Jay Myers

I know it has been a long time since the Animated Series Kickstarter. Some of you have been waiting forrrreeevvvverrrrr for the marvelous thing I am about to show you, and some of you have joined us since that campaign and will be seeing this for the first time. Either way, I am giddy to post a new progress shot from Mr. Jay Myers, who is—get this!—drawing a Florid Sword and Shadowblade comic book. WOOT!

This comic has been a long time coming because first Andrew had to write the story and then Mr. Jay had to go through and lay it all out, imagine what it should look like, try out a few different things and ask Andrew for feedback, and spend hours penciling and inking and coloring (and mind you, they both have day jobs). But it is COMING. And it's coming along so well. Check this out:

Did you catch a certain book on that shelf? And who can identify the creatures depicted in those excellent bookends?
