Reboot
While ‘The Abominable Charles Christopher‘ is dear to my heart, it is unfortunately not reaching a wide enough readership to sustain its continued production. Not in its current incarnation, at least!
I present to you a bold new direction. I call it ‘ABOMINABLE X-TREME’ and it will change forever the way you think about woodland creatures or integrity!
Gone are the boring conversations! Gone are the insufferable antics! Prepare for a whole new world of pain as CHARLES X-TOPHER fights his way through hordes of wolves, bats and killer spiders, all in the name of ACTION!
ABOMINABLE X-TREME starts NEXT WEDNESDAY and will cost 99 cents, less than a dollar more than it costs now!
It’s not just ABOMINABLE, it’s EXXXXXXTREEEEEEEME!!!

Haha!! That’s freaking fantastic! Can I get a digital foil cover with hologram somehow?

As a longtime fan, I was getting tired of the same-ol’ same-ol’. I look forward to having my neurons assaulted on a regular basis. Can’t wait to see what the inevitable new love interest looks like! I also hope time travel becomes a regular occurrence.

He needs pants and a cape, and impossibly riveted metallic looking boots.
June 9th, 2011 at 6:24 pm
very funny, but your kidding right? …… guys..
June 9th, 2011 at 6:27 pm
WOULD I JOKE ABOUT THIS, DARREN???!!?
???!!?!!!
No, I would not.
June 9th, 2011 at 6:31 pm
AAA-HA HA HA HAAA!!!
(I would definitely pay 99 cents less than a dollar more than it costs now!)
Uncanny Abomidable and Shadow of the Abomidable could be possible spin-offs!

What, no chainmail bra?
June 9th, 2011 at 6:37 pm
um ……….. guys ……………. LOL

he needs a beefed out Townsen sidekick !
June 9th, 2011 at 7:23 pm
Yesss! A beefed up Townsen sidekick! With fangs!
(And some pants)

An xtreme Undead Townsen Hellhound/Wolf would ROCK!!! Cue Metallica “For Whom The Bell Tolls”!!! Also, Vivol may need side mounted rocket launchers.
June 9th, 2011 at 7:32 pm
You do NOT want to know where Vivol’s rocket launcher is mounted :|
Also “Abdominable X-Topher” seems appropriate for a . . . hmmm /creature/ with a 10-pack. :)

HAHAHHAHAA – awesome karl, simply awesome.
June 9th, 2011 at 10:02 pm
Brilliant!
June 9th, 2011 at 10:03 pm
An 8-PACK of the ABDOMENABLE CHUCK CHRISTOFUR? I’m there!
=s=

Truly, Karl, this rocks! Please don’t forget to hire a fashionably late artist, change writer after four issues, reboot but starting with the old numbering before killing a character off and rebooting with a new numbering and….
Oh God, my head’s spinning with this greatness… When’s Abominable Crisis scheduled for…?

The car…what will his car look like?
June 9th, 2011 at 11:11 pm
Perhaps the owls could have a spinoff series of their own
June 10th, 2011 at 6:32 pm
What a missed opportunity. Obviously, it should have been called “A-BOM”.
June 10th, 2011 at 6:58 pm
The car is really an eighteen wheeler and in the back is a deformed moonbear steroids! , Chuck and the hellhound only let him out when the mayhem gets too X-treeeem !

I trust the woodland glade will now be a post-apocalyptic hellscape and Tivol will be a Cy-bear?
Because I’ll be disappointed if they’re not…

this is all fun but…
this must be the saddest part of the comic industry. your book is beautiful and amazing but there is no market for indys anymore. it can happen. like lightning strikes. but it’s often. all the artists on tx are great. i check in frequently. but it seems that the only way that a comic artist can make any money at all is to be good enough to work for one of the major labels. and then there probably few continuous comic gigs. though, i’m probably wrong in your case and comics are making you a comfortable living.
maybe this is a joke.
to me, you should just create a new title and bring your great sensibilities to it. maybe that’ll hit. this is the closest i’ve seen to “concrete” in many years.
i’m sure you’re not going to fuck with that.

What if I Paypal $20 (buck a week plus a bonus for the 4 loose days) and you keep your water-coloring pencil-drawing Vivol/Moonbear/Charles sketchin’ self going?
We got a deal?
(Not that I don’t think Vivol should be swinging an AA-12 in that last clip)
