No, it's not gonna be the all-new, all-different Stick Cats or anything like that.

So what is going to happen, you ask? I'm gonna mess with time.

I recently completed Stick Cats Act I and ended things with a pretty big cliffhanger. But despite the shocking revelation I dropped, I'm not sure how I want to dive into Stick Cats Act II.

However... I dig the notion of drawing Stick Cats Act III next. That means I'd go back and fill in the gap afterwards, making the end of Stick Cats Act II the end of the Stick Cats saga.

So when should you expect to see the start of Stick Cats Act III? Next week. I'm going to use 24-Hour Comic Day to knock out all of Act III (and, with luck, both the first and third acts will be available for purchase at this year's PIX on October 8-9).

BUT... that doesn't mean this will be another week without Stick Cats! Here's a scrapped comic that was originally intended to be Stick Cats #22:

Obviously, I'm going to go in a totally different direction. But I thought you might like to see it anyway!

Previously in Stick Cats: After finally tracking down the Deco-Kitty on the Astral Plane and learning a shocking secret, Steve and Marmalade journey home.

I dunno how I want to kick off Stick Cats Act II, so I made this map instead.

This is the end of Stick Cats Act I!!! What does that mean for you as a reader? I don't know. But for me as the creator, it means that this is the first mega-climax of my write-it-as-I-go Stick Cats epic.

Anyway, unrelated, come check me out at the Pittsburgh Zine Fair on Thurs Sept 1st (tomorrow) from 5-10 PM on the city's Northside at AIR. I'll have a couple of new offerings, as well as a bunch of my print comics (no Stick Cats collections yet, sorry... but I'll have those ready in a month for PIX).
