Jesus Clowns... SOON IN COLOR?
Nov. 19th, 2025 06:04 pmRogan: When Biff and I made Coming In or Staying Out, I originally made two versions of the files. There's the black and white version, which I printed, and then a purple/pink/white version, which became the ebook version. But that colored version was the one I originally planned for, the version I dreamed of printing via Risograph, basically a copier that specializes in printing in one or two colors. (Some people use it for fancier stuff, but those people perplex me.)
For almost two years, CISO sat around as I tried to find a Riso printer, figure out how much it would cost, only to keep getting distracted with things like becoming homeless, moving twice, paying double rent for a long period of time, etc. Also it's always awkward to do the, "are you okay with printing dongs?" conversation with a print shop.
But lo and behold! It looks like CISO will be getting a bubble gum pink and violet limited run of 30, courtesy of Just Right Press, a queer/furry-owned press in Providence, RI! I'm super-pumped about this!
Riso is cheap, by color printing standards, but the CISO color edition will still be quite a lot pricier than the black and white--probably around $22, compared to the B/W's $5. I don't know how well this will work out for me, so if the color CISO doesn't sell, 30 copies will be all there is. However, there's a reason I originally made CISO with the intent of making it in color; it gave me the freedom to use color for mood effects that is much harder to do with only black and white. I hope y'all like the results as much as I surely will!
Even more exciting, Just Write has not only bubble gum pink and violet among their colors, they also have burgundy, which means my next comics project will also likely get printed with them! Yeehaw!
