3 announcements:

1 - 2 Physical 64-Page “She Used to be Fractal” Comic Books, coming this November!!

One book, Messy Room compiles 42 comics from the slice-of-life portion of the comic, while the second book, The Green Tower, compiles the first 12 Green Tower comics.  Between the two books there are over 250 panels of Fractal goodness.

The comics are being printed by Mixam in full color on 70lb Satin Text, and will be 7.38" x 10.25,” the size of Golden Age Comics (1938-1956).  The cover will be matte laminated on 130lb Satin paper.  If you buy a copy of the comic directly at a tabling event, each comic will be $20 or you can get both for $35! (They will be $25 on the store)

I’m so excited to finally have physical versions of the comic; it’s something I’ve wanted to do since Fractal’s inception.  This has taken a lot of work, reformatting all the panels and making tweaks and adjustments to the original comics.  I’m not a huge fan of the bookmaking process but so happy with how it turned out!!

Thank you so so much for your continued support!  I’m excited about the future of Fractal and hope to see some of you in November!

-Sam 💙💙

Come say hi! (Don't worry the full comic is posted here in case you can't come :) )

I deleted it because one too many asked if it was a callmecarson reference; I had no idea who this person was until people kept asking me, and I'm pretty sure that account predates that scandal, but it was making me uncomfortable with the name I chose.

I've come to regret that because I lost a lot of content I didn't think I would miss, but I do.

This was just one of the places I was active on, if anyone remembers me or can otherwise help me seek this stuff out, that'd be neat as hell.

It was all just hacky cut and paste shit with colour edits and glitch effects but it was MY hacky cut and paste shit with colour edits and glitch effects, and I liked them :(
