Out of the Zombie Manor
on November 18, 2025
Well, that’s the last page of Chapter 9, “The Zombie Manor!” The next chapter, “The Goblin Factor,” begins December 1st! For a small preview and some other news (including some very cute Halloween costumes) check out the newest newsletter (you can sign up for free!)
Some new Margo art, a new way to buy it, and a patron-only discount.
on August 19, 2025
Along with doing some real-life dirty-fingers painting, I’ve also been messing around with digital painting in Procreate. I was pretty pleased with this one (you might recognize Ke-ke from The Tangled Web) and I wanted to do something with it. So, I finally went and applied for an Inprnt store. Inprnt’s one of the better-known online art print shops, known for good quality prints and curation. Eleanor and I used to make our own prints at home and ship them ourselves, but the time just isn’t there anymore! So the new piece, entitled “Coming in for a Landing,” is up now to buy. I also put up a couple other pieces up there, like this classic image of Margo’s office, and the title art from the newest chapter, The Zombie Manor. Oh, and if there’s a Margo image (or any other art by me!) that you’d love to get as a print, let me know in the comments! Inprnt’s been running a sitewide sale right now – if you want to get something, now’s a great time.
And if you’re a Patron, there’s a 15% discount for ya – click on over here.
She’s back!
on July 29, 2025
At long last, Margo Maloo is back on the job – starting this Monday, August 4th, in a brand new adventure, The Zombie Manor! A new page drops every Monday.
Thanks for waiting patiently – I’ve gotten many messages from readers about whether Margo’s story would continue! Sadly, the future of the print books is up in the air, as it looks like I’ll be parting ways with First Second for the remainder of the series. Nonetheless, Margo’s story will continue online (and, with any luck, at another publisher.) For now, Margo is back to her roots as an independent creation. One good aspect of that is I no longer need to keep large chunks of the previous Margo storylines book-exclusive – the entire story will go back to being readable on this site.
If you’ve got the means and would like to support this endeavor, please consider chipping in a few bucks on Patreon! Otherwise, simply spreading the word to anyone who loves stories about scrappy kids, secret worlds, or somewhat-scary monsters! No matter how, your support means a lot and keeps me going through tough times.
New short story – By the Book!
on June 3, 2025
It’s been quiet around here, but things are rumbling under the surface! But today, there’s a new Margo 10-pager up on Patreon called “By the Book.” It’s about libraries, and how great they are! And, uh demon-summoning maybe?
As always, Patrons get to see everything Margo-related first, and your support means the world to me.
SPX 2024, Table W67
on September 13, 2024
Howdy, if you’re in the neighborhood of Bethesda or DC, the Small Press Expo is happening this weekend! (9/14-9/15) I’ll be there for the first time in five years, and I’ll have a boatload of Margo books, and the original art from vol 3, The Tangled Web, on sale for the first time. I’ll even have some in-progress art from the upcoming book. Table W67, stop on by!
