Have you never even heard of that before? No problem!</p> <p>Check out my new webcomic <a href="http://darkshoredetectives.inkwellian.com/">Darkshore Detectives</a>. It follows the misadventures of Orville (Ville) Owlbear, a Moonkin, and Piotr (Pete) Phaunos, a Satyr, as they try to become Darkshore’s first official private detectives! Which is a pain to do with all those questers running around doing stuff just for the “experience.”</p> <p><a href="http://darkshoredetectives.inkwellian.com/"><img src="http://darkshoredetectives.inkwellian.com/media/about/opp.jpg" alt="Darkshore Detectives" /></a></p> <p>Initially updating twice a week, it starts with an 8-page mini-comic I wrote for last month’s <a href="http://www.monthlyminis.com/">Monthly Mini-Comic Challenge</a>, and will continue on in a 20+ page adventure.</p> <p>I hope you <a href="http://darkshoredetectives.inkwellian.com">check it out</a> and enjoy reading it as much as I’ve enjoyed creating it!</p> http://www.zoodotcom.com/posts/bumps-in-the-road 2011-09-12T00:15:00Z 2011-09-12T00:15:00Z Matt McCray matt@zoodotcom.com http://www.inkwellian.com <p>Sorry, the site is having issues – Please bear with me as I get it sorted out.</p>
