after the haze of February, the March snail mail is here :)
It’s a little zine this month, in a vaguely hexagonal shape, some are orange, some are yellow.
And then there are some quite large orange and yellow stickers :)

You can get these in the mail if you sign up anytime this month

a zine/comic set for February’s Goose Moon :)
I’ve been so tired I struggled to get the comic done this week, and also the moon set cover…but it just about turned out okay :)
The main thing that got lost was….plot! Yes, the plot has taken a turn towards non-existent…but I’ll work on that for next week :)

This time is it for January’s Centre Moon, so called because it falls roughly in the middle of the winter season in the northern hemisphere

There is a dream forest snail on the loose. Tso thought it could be removed by putting it on the roof…but that did not work (of course). So now a net has been found….will the snail be caught??

(free to read online :) )
#zines #illustration #comics #comicart #evtso #artwork #forestart #detective #spy #sleuth #一次創作 #同人誌 #detectivecomics #dreamsnail #forestsnail

A square of the front cover of an illustrated comic/zine, that features detective Tso’s coat, and mushrooms growing out of pockets and shoes.

Here is detective Tso with some hat mushrooms (and a hat feather), carrying a large net to try and catch the dream forest snail.

Detective Tso says, “What’s happening?!”, as the net is behaving in a very strange manner. Shock. Surprise. Aghast.

evtso @evtso@socel.net

It’s 100 :)
(perhaps alarmingly) detective Tso shows no signs of slowing down….although everything is slow and festering enough to grow an autumn fungus!
Can you spot the bird’s eye view?

#zines #illustration #comics #comicart #evtso #artwork #forestart #detective #spy #sleuth #一次創作 #同人誌 #detectivecomics #100comics #hundredth #fungus

A square of the front pages of the hundredth Tso zine/comic, with leaves, mushrooms and patterned lettering.

Here is detective Tso, with a hat and hand fungus growing, which lifts you into the air like a set of balloons. …not so good if you don’t like heights!

Everything in the apartment looks tiny because of the great height Tso has reached. The tree outside the window has shed its leaves, and the fungus has spread to the top of the window frame.

October brings the travel moon, as this is when many animals are moving to their winter lands. I used brown paper and string for the packaging because travel also happens through the mail :)
All the envelopes are slightly different (I kept experimenting as I hadn’t used that paper before and it proved slightly tricky!)

#zines #illustration #comics #zineset #comicart #evtso #artwork #forestart #detective #spy #sleuth #一次創作 #同人誌 #detectivecomics #coracle #comicset #travelmoon #octobermoon

An envelope made from brown paper, with an illustrated design on the front that shows birds, clouds and stars across a blue sky. The envelope is tied with black and white string.

This is the back of the envelope, with the black and white string, and three orange/red stickers that seal the envelope flap.

A set of four illustrated comics/zines, on different colour papers. The covers feature detective Tso in a coracle, flowers, leaves, patterns, and picture frames.

An illustrated page from inside the TSO 98 issue. It is a drawing of some leaf hunter birds, flying through the forest, happy that the flood has disappeared.

evtso @evtso@socel.net

will the flood-toad-shrunk-back-to-normal-size-toad ever be brought back from the depths of hurt and despair? …find out in today’s comic

Some inside pages from the zines with Tso reaching up for a feather, and the flood toad (now back to normal size) laughing.

Some more inside pages, with spring blossom and summer flowers drifting into the air. And Fraser the cat has a horrifying idea. (….the toad is innocent)

evtso @evtso@socel.net

a strange shape that concertinas out into a giant flood toad mouth :)

Detective Tso is still lamenting everything….and has also run out of snacks…never a good sign (:

#zines #illustration #comics #comicart #evtso #artwork #forestart #detective #spy #sleuth #一次創作 #同人誌 #detectivecomics #floodtoad #snacksgone

A strange long shape comic/zine, with an illustration of detective Tso in a coracle sailing on the flood waters of the giant flood toad.

Tso is still in the coracle and is looking puzzled at the diminishing waters and the rumbling in the air.

Soon the mayday signs are all around (mainly due to lack of snacks) and detective Tso is despairing.

The reverse of the zine, showing a giant, patterned flower.

evtso @evtso@socel.net

oceans of time late, but here is the continuing adventure of the flood toad

A drawing from inside the flood toad caves, of a comfy seat and a window with nice curtains but which looks out on nowhere - no view at all.

Here is Oat the owlet, wings up, screaming a bit. Living in the toad cave can be frustrating at times.

dehydration leads to disorientation….which is why there is always some water in the coracle

Detective Tso has set sail again. Carrot swords come in handy, and there is talk of a statue being unveiled

comic/zine from Tuesday

The front cover of an illustrated comic/zine, with detective Tso sailing in a coracle that is covered in plants. The sky is full of leaves.

Here is detective Tso swimming through the floodwaters, armed with carrot swords and a determined expression.

Tso has now switched on the head torch, and is inspecting each speck of the flood with a magnifying glass.

Detective Tso (or should that be doctor Tso) is now busy reviving Oat the owlet back in the coracle.
