M.S.P.A.A.S.
Sorry for the slow updates lately. It can't be helped, I'm simply too busy. Slow is better than none, right?
An update...
16th July | 2010
Well hello! You may have noticed I'm on a sort of mini-hiatus right now. Between gearing up for SDCC and working on some bonus stuff and the cover for Captain Excelsior, all my time is taken up at the moment. I'll most likely be back in the swing of things by September. I wish there were more hours in the day, but until that happens, somethings got to give, and unfortunately, this project has to suffer for a little bit. Thanks for your patience!
Slight delay

Sorry guys, no update this week because I'm working on a super double-sized strip for next week!
Chapter 2 set to begin with new look
20th January | 2010
Chapter 2 will begin in a couple short weeks. I've been busy slightly revising the characters, the look of the strip, and writing a bunch of scripts. Stay tuned!
Ladies and Gentlemen - Pinkleton is back!
28th September | 2009
Welcome to the new weekly comic. Thanks for stopping by!
A little history..
I created Byron Pinkleton in 2007 for a number of long form strips that appeared on the now defunct International History Club website that I created along with KC Green and Chris VanGomple. Over the last couple of years I've created a few additional long form strips and archived them here. While I love the long format strips, they are time consuming to produce and I wanted to give Pinkleton a regularly updating strip - hence the new, smaller, sleeker 1-tier format.
On the process..
You will notice this strip has a sketchy and loose look to it. This is intentional. With all of the inking I do on Snowflakes, this strip and it's more relaxed execution provide a nice change of pace. As with Grumps, the artwork for Pinkleton is done with pencils and not inked. I really enjoy working with this technique for it's Spontaneity, not to mention it's quickness. The style artwork on this strip may change over time as I experiment a bit with my technique.
Going forward..
The fact that I am able to produce this strip relatively quickly enables me to update once a week here in addition to 3 times a week on Snowflakes. I have a very finely tuned schedule that allows me to produce all of this work, in addition to all my other real-worldly responsibilities! I'm walking a razor wire here folks - if even the slightest thing falls out of place, my whole schedule will come crashing down like a house of cards!!! Otherwise, You can expect a new strip every Monday.
A word on Grumps..
I ended Grumps in 2008. I absolutely loved working on that comic, but at the time it was right to end it. I had told the story I wanted to tell, and was satisfied with ending the strip. But know this: I do have a sequel to Grumps running around in my head. It's been there a long time. I know the story and one day it will be told. But not now. Now is the era of Pinkleton, and I have many stories to tell...
