Snap Crackle Pop

Tiny little update

2012-01-20T09:08:00.004-10:00

Hey folks! I know I've abandoned you for a while now, but I just have a small update for you. After the official Snap Crackle Pop character interview, reader Mark had a question to add, which I am only now getting around to answering...

Mark: Are we going to see more of Lily Fox in your strip? Also, she looks kind of familiar. Is Lily modeled on one of the employees at Jelly's?

Actually, Lily is my big sister! This must be the only corner of the interwebs where people know who I am rather than her, as she's a pretty famous artist and about five billion times better than me, which I am only cool with because she's my best friend, my inspiration and one of the coolest, most incredible people I know. You can find her amazing art here, but don't start following her and abandon my comic. ;)

She may yet come back into the comic. I'll be honest, I have trouble writing people I actually know, because I always feel dumb writing their dialogue -- to me, it never really sounds like them. But Lily is my best pal, so she's never far away.

And older strip of ours...

Rerun under the mistletoe!

2011-12-24T21:59:00.002-10:00

Hey guys, have a holiday rerun from the Christmas Krampus!

Getting the last laugh

2011-12-20T23:50:00.002-10:00

Okay, folks, this is the last one for a little while. I'm not going away forever, but I'm taking a brief vacation to work on some new projects that I'm very excited about and that may, if I ever get the chance to even start them, be publishable. Once I get some other things squared away and have some more time, I'll be able to return to the comic. In the meantime, how do you feel about reruns?

Happy holidays, everyone! And hey, if you miss the comic, say so, and keep voting for it! Knowing you care keeps me going.

Answers to your Snap Ask!

2011-12-17T13:42:00.003-10:00

Last week I opened up questions to all the characters of Snap Crackle Pop, not just here on the site, but also on my DeviantArt, Tumblr, and Livejournal! The response was bigger than I expected and the guys had fun being interviewed. Here are your answers, folks! Grab a a cocoa and enjoy, it's a long one!

foreverstrange: I want to know what Stephen does in his spare time?
STEPHEN: How thoughtful of you to ask! I spend much of my time in quiet meditation. A useful zen practice is to breathe in all the bad energy of the universe and then to breathe out all the good, clean feelings I can produce. I like to study the teachings of the Dalai Lama, a most compassionate and marvelous individual. And, of course, I dance like a fiend.
KIT: He does. It’s like Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo up in here.

Abiogenisis: What percentage of that character is actually you?
KIT: Oh, 100%, for sure. This is no joke. The comic was started as a way for me to vent my spleen, so to say, and be a total egotist at the same time, and all the other fun crazy characters just started showing up for some reason along the way. Now they won’t leave. But the comic me is all me, except that I may be a little uglier in real life. Can’t be too candid.

DoctorMo: Where do you sleep?
FINN: Kit tells me to sleep on the couch but I always creep up on the foot of her bed by her feet. Her cat is there. She doesn’t like me. We fight over bed space sometimes. Kit’s feet are warm. I’m a dragon, so I should always win, but Suki... there’s something about her... she gets scary. So I made a hidey-hole in Kit’s closet.
BACON: The idiot tends to forget that we’re beings of supernatural power. I opened up a wormhole to the Hilton.
STEPHEN: I have a lovely temple in my tank.
MORDAK: I NEVER SLEEP!
RANDALL: Mordak, you and I sleep on the windowsill. You remember? When it’s night-night time? Remember, Mordak? I get Blankie for you. Remember? And I get out Mr. Stuffy. We sleep there, Mordak, remember? On the windowsill. That’s where we sleep. I’m sure we’ve been through this.
MORDAK: Silence, brother.

inulover1993: Did Kit ever notice that Finn took all of the bunches out of her cereal?
FINN: Demonology is a subtle art. I’m sure many of you cereal-earting humanoids have long suspected doings of a similar nature.
KIT: He did WHAT? I KNEW it!

OnlyThen: Will Finn ever find a lady demon/fall in love with someone?
FINN: There’s a girl I’ve had my eye on for many years, but that’s... not gonna happen. Somewhere out there, there’s a girl for me. Somewhere, one day...
BACON: You start singing, I’ll punch you in the neck.

ElectricGecko: So are you really canning the strip? If so, how can we stop you?
KIT: Look, kittens in cups!

KIWIGIRL1: Will Finn ever achieve his dream?
FINN: Sadly, I don’t think they make Hammer pants in my size anymore...

pump-kin-pie: What do the little buggers do other than bugging the main character?
FINN: Do? There are other things to do?
BACON: Shut up. You eat chips and watch Discovery Channel. Kit makes you stick to edutainment.
FINN: She says other TV has swears!
BACON: Dude... oh dude...

gingerhaole: I badly need to know Finn’s full name. Bacon’s too, if he has one, but I KNOW Finn has one. Also, where does Kit put all the house imps she has to shoo out of the kitchen?
FINN: My mom named me after my unfortunate uncle, who I messily devoured upon the event of my hatching. My full name is Phinneas Wormwood Bojangles Beowolf Smith.
BACON: Smith?
FINN: It’s a family name!
BACON: Yeah, anyway. I was named after meat.
KIT: You were not. I thought your name was Philip or something.
BACON: Are you fielding this one? I don’t think so! Moving on!
KIT: Sooo... My house imps usually get skooshed with a paper towel and flushed if they’re the small kind, y’know? But I have to admit, I feel bad for them. I mean sure, they’re gross, but I try not to kill them. I also have this empty peanut jar. I’ll try to catch them in that if I can and then just put them outside, but if their little hands get on me, oh man, it’s all over. Cootie dance to the max.

fenmere: How well does your boyfriend enjoy being in the comic? What does he think of the way you draw him?
KIT: Weeelll, technically, it’s not The Boyfriend in the comic strip. Adam is a character that’s got some qualities that are similar to The Boyfriend, but he’s very different. I did it that way deliberately because I wanted someone like my boyfriend in the comic, but not the exact same guy. He’s rather camera shy, and I’ve had bad experiences in the past with including friends in my comic, so it’s better to just make characters. Adam is similar in a lot of ways -- he’s a bit nerdy, he’s into comics and Trek and all the good stuff, but he’s also quite sure of himself, he’s not afraid to talk to girls and say how he feels, and that’s a quality that’s rather unique. Also he can put up with the strange monsters without raising a brow. We haven’t quite figured out why that is yet. Might be the boy’s not right.

muffinpoodle: How long have you been doing the strip now? How long does it take you to finish a strip? What do you do when you get stuck for inspiration or motivation?
KIT: Golly, it’s been (wow, I went and looked it up!) since November 24th, 2006! So five years, now. Gad, that’s a depressing long time. I usually spread out my work on a strip over a few days since I do other things in between -- I spend an hour or so penciling it, a few hours of inking and a few more hours on the grayscaling. It’s all quite boring, but done by hand, so it takes longer. The truth is, I’m never really stuck for inspiration because crazy things are always happening to me and so I can always find a way to stick it in the strip. Either I have a issue I want to talk about and try to make funny -- like body images or fear of creepy crawlies -- or actual funny stuff happens in my life and I think, this would work in the strip. I have a notebook crammed with ideas and my biggest fear is that I’ll honestly never run out of them.

Scarfia: What is Mordak up to? Any evil schemes?
MORDAK: FEAR ME, puling mortal of annoying largeness, for I am ever scheming! Do not be lulled by my diminutive stature, for I have plots galore, GALORE I SAY! Only the other day I was showing Randall a brilliant invention that would have annihilated every iPhone on the planet, thus bringing Earth to a BLISTERING STANDSTILL! Had he not spilled his cocoa on it... well.... DO NOT PESTER ME NOW, HUMAN!

Scarfia: Will Finn ever realize his dream of churning butter?
FINN: I... I don’t know how you know about that... Look, don’t tell my mom, okay? The family is obligated to feed weaker dragons to the hatchlings and... well, this kind of thing would break her heart. Let’s just say I sometimes just stir Kit’s Country Crock with a spoon when she’s not looking. It helps.

LuneLeclercVallois: How do you manage with your personal demons?
KIT: It’s a struggle, for sure. It’s like living with really needy cats. Every day it’s a battle to ignore their bad advice and remind myself that it’s actually NOT okay to throw things at the kids outside, that I actually DO need to pay my bills, that kind of thing. Lucky for me, they’re really lazy demons, and they spend most of the day just raiding my fridge and watching Julie Andrews flicks.
FINN: Do not! Take that back!

MimiLynch: What do personal demons do on their days off?
BACON: Smuggle Cuban cigars.
FINN: Fact is, demons don’t really get days off. We have to be ready at all times, poised like a panther, ready to strike. Evil never sleeps.
BACON: You’re like a cat, you sleep constantly.
KIT: Yeah, on all my sweaters, too.

veddabredda: To duck: Are you friends with the Duck Man from Terry Pratchett's Discworld universe?
DUCK: Quack.
KIT: I’ll translate for Duck. “I’ve never met the man, though he sounds quite the character. I’ll be reading my first Pratchett book this weekend and do so hope to encounter him!”

SinfulDeviant: I wanted to ask Adam a question; Do you like your girls curvy, if so call me!
ADAM: I do like them curvy! Frankly, I like them curvy, skinny, pale, dark, befreckled, any way at all as long as they read, think and are nice. And I may call you, since Kit has made it clear she’s a dead end.

smolderingremains: To Mordak: what's your kinkiest fantasy?
MORDAK: FOR ALL THE PITIFUL HUMANS OF EARTH TO COWER AND CRINGE AT MY MAGNIFICENT, DESTRUCTIVE BRAIN, FOR THE DIASPORA TO FALL TO THEIR KNEES IN HORROR AS I OBLITERATE THEIR PATHETIC LIVES! AND ALSO I LIKE TENTACLE PORN!

Lucasgelati: Trains?
FINN: Sure, I love trains! I... what?
BACON: D’yeah, I don’t get it.
MORDAK: It is a trick!

Roxanna Fortenberry: Will Finn ever get a girlfriend?
BACON: You mean outside of a dirty massage parlor?
FINN: Hey! Well Roxanna, I think the right girl is out there for me somewhere. It’s a full-time job, being a demon, of course, but once I’ve tucked a few souls away, I can see myself one day coming home to someone who’d cook for me... massage my feet... but this wild horse can never be totally tamed.
BACON: Hey Wild Horse, that reminds me, I borrowed your copy of Tits Ahoy.
FINN: Aw dude...

Roxanna Fortenberry: Where in Hawaii do you live anyways?
KIT: The cold part, currently. I live on the island of O’ahu, up on the north shore, the very country, surfer side of the island. I have a little shack (often overrun with bugs and beasties) which I love, but I still find it freezing because, having lived here for six and a half years, I’ve turned into a total baby.

Roxanna Fortenberry: What other comics are you wanting to work on? Will you ever take guest comics? What is your favorite comic?
KIT: I have several different plans for books, actually. A few illustrated picture books for children, and a few graphic novels. Many of these include pirates, monsters, bad poetry and heroic young folk, in my own whimsical and ridiculous style, and I hope that it translates into something vaguely publishable in the future. I’ve taken guest comics for SCP from :icon:The-Savage-Ape-Man before, who does great work in a style completely different to mine so it’s refreshing to see, but I have a very personal relationship to SCP so I would have to know and trust the guest artist completely, and understand their style, before I submitted any guest comic as a part of my regular lineup, though folks are ALWAYS welcome to do “fan art” as egomaniacal as that sounds! As to my favorite comic, I have a few that have always inspired me. Calvin and Hobbes, like many people, is the reason I’m here, and Bone by Jeff Smith completely changed my artistic life. It was Jeff Smith who turned me on to Walt Kelly’s Pogo, a fantastic vintage comic strip that I eat up just like candy. I also love Sherman’s Lagoon, Pearls Before Swine and Get Fuzzy. A great indie webcomic, of course, is my friend Isa’s Namesake,http://www.namesakecomic.com/ which, for fans of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, or anything good at all, is a treasure trove.

Roxanna Fortenberry: Hey Finn! For someone who has a crush on Kit, you sure are mean to her! WTF?
FINN: WHO TOLD YOU I HAVE A CRUSH ON HE––––err, Miss Fortenberry, you’re clearly confused. Perhaps you bumped your head. Or perhaps I should bump your head. Anyway, I have to be mean to Kit. Not only is she a ninny, and she deserves it, but it is one’s job. if one does not do one’s job, one loses it, and then one does not get to see one’s ninny ever again.
BACON: You are such a lurchburger.

secondlina: Why two demons? The traditional number is one or three. Also, why a winged pig?
BACON: Why a French Canadian? That’s like saying you’re a cheeseburger pizza, it’s like, pick one!
KIT: Bacon, if you don’t shut your piehole, it’s gonna be full of my fist. Anyway, I never actually gave much thought to the traditional number of demons because they just sort of appeared and stuck around. I hadn’t intended on having Bacon be a regular character when I introduced him, and he went away for a while, but came back when I introduced Finn. They worked so well together, it just seemed right. I guess Warburton kinda makes three, when he shows up, but for me, it was just an accident that the characters worked out the way they did. As to what Bacon is, his first appearance in the comic was a reference to Hell having frozen over and pigs flying, sure signs of the end of the world because I was in an unnatural happy relationship (all the more unnatural because I had invented the boy myself, and Bacon was there to make me destroy him... ah, the early days).

Dahlia-Mockery: Question for all the demons: what is your idea of the perfect woman?
FINN: Oh, someone uncomplicated. Someone sensitive and compassionate who enjoys the simple things like... corrupting the souls of the living... setting small creatures aflame with her breath... reading Pablo Neruda on a beach...
BACON: I like spanking. And big jugs. And naturally I prefer vegetarians or at least Kosher gals.
WARBURTON: Xena.

alexajaye: Finn: When will we see the softer side that keeps creeping in on occasion on a more permanent basis?
FINN: Sorry, babe. Doesn’t exist. I live on the edge, see? I’m a DRAGON, mujera, I breathe hot fuego! Yeah, that’s right. Know who my boss is? I can’t even say his name, that’s who my boss is. Ask Gotti’s people if they could say THAT. Softer side? I’m covered in red scales. I got armor on my armor. Smaug was a milksop pantywaist, homie.
BACON: You just made a Hobbit reference while sitting on your unicorn needlepoint.
FINN: I BROKE IT! YOU MADE ME BREAK IT!

Thanks for your questions, everyone! Hope you enjoyed the interview!

One way to get a vacation

I posted this a while ago on several other websites, but forgot to do it here: I'm doing this thing just for fun where, if you like, you can send in questions to any character in the comic strip, any question at all no matter how weird, personal, mundane or bonkers, and I, or the character, will have it answered by Saturday. (Unless the question is "Are you really canning the strip?" in which case I'll probably change the subject to kittens or something.)

All questions from all the collective websites will be posted together with the answers on Saturday. If you can think of any for me or my characters, ask me here or shoot me an email! mambo_lotus(at)hotmail.com!

I wasn't originally going to do a strip like this, but I got requests from some of my curvy sisters out there for a little big-booty redemption, so this is for them. Adam ain't looking at her butt, girls, he's looking at yours.

Sorry I'm so late, peeps! This has been, doubtless, the worst week in the history of my life, and it isn't better yet, but hopefully it'll get better soon. The short short version if it is that I'm still jobless, so if you wan to make it better, do us both a favor and go buy the Snap Crackle Pop Book! It's totally hip, and it'll make me a few bucks in the process, so it's almost like giving to charity and getting a really awesome book at the same time.

I like Bacon's "Kit" costume.

Why aren't I rolling in money yet, people?

2011-07-19T21:27:00.003-10:00

Psst, buy my book! Literally zillions of copies left!

BOOOOOOK! No, seriously this time.

2011-07-12T21:06:00.006-10:00

Okay folks, here we go: WE HAVE A BOOK!

I didn't say anything until I was totally sure, but it's all legitimate, I have my own copy which does not suck, and it is now live and available to all of you on Lulu.com!

Go get it! Here!

Why should you buy a book of the comic you can read online for free?

1. Because it's a nice thing to do, dude.
2. Because it has a boss color cover!
3. Because it has not just the comics, from 1 to 200, but a pantload of other very cool things as well, including guest art, new art and some previously unpublished stuff for your enjoyment.
4. Because I've worked for you for free for like four and a half years.

Anyway it's a nice book, go check it out, and for all my local pals (all two of you) stop by Jelly's in a coupe of weeks and they should be carrying it! Enjoy, folks!

That link again is RIGHT HERE!

Since I don't actually have TV, I don't know if something like this might actually exist, but if it did, I'd watch it. As for Doctah Jeff, if you've ever seen Monster Quest or any Destination Truth episode dealing with Sasquatch-ish creatures, Jeff's your man. However, to avoid any legal naughtiness I will say that he probably does not have raucous spring break parties. But if he did, I'd sit on his lap.

Here Comes The Nightmare

2011-03-06T14:27:00.003-10:00

I did this three page comic as a sort of extra feature. I did it for fun, because I love monsters, but also for practice. I do enough of the same four-panel schtick every week, and I wanted to see if I could break away from that, and from the usual goofiness of the strip. Sometimes it's fun to put your characters in a completely different tone and setting.

I also need serious practice with shading, and I set this as a challenge to see if I could come close to my hero, Jeff Smith's style of dramatic black-only shadowing. I still need a lot of work, but I had fun doing it.

All credit for the ending to this comic goes to my big sister, who actually used to do this with her Calvin and Hobbes books to ward off monsters as a kid. I fully believe it would work.

Sorry I am so late! I didn't wind up finishing last week's comic in time for a lot of different reasons, most of which seem lame, but really honestly count as legitimate excuses. Thanks for your patience -- although, it frankly would be flattering to get an inbox full of complaints whenever I miss a day. Just sayin'.

2010-12-29T10:07:00.003-10:00

Okay, so 200 comic strips is just a drop in the bucket to most real cartoonists. For those who do dailies, it doesn't even amount to a year's work. But for me, this is a big number, worth over four years of steady drawing and writing, and continually trying to be better. True, I have a readership of maybe two dozen and make nary a dime from this crazy monster strip, but hey, at least it's fun. Here's hoping you've been having fun also.Maybe, if I'm lucky, we'll all make it to three hundred.

Waaaiiit a second....

WHAT has come over our anti-heroine? WILL she regain her impending sense of doom? DOES Campbell's make everything mm-mmm better? FIND OUT NEXT WEEK.

Happy Thanksgiving, kids!

Sorry I'm so late, folks! I'm still in the process of getting myself settled in my new home. It's lovely, and I'm delighted to be out of the ghetto and into a fabulous little cottage -- however, I don't know where half my stuff is. Thanks for bearing with me while I got it together. Enjoy!

Sorry for the lateness in posting -- Blogger was giving me trouble last night.

Enjoy, and have a great Halloween and Day of The Dead!

Weird but cool thing... I suddenly got an influx of blog followers, which is grand, and none of them were people I know, which is even more grand, but the odd thing is, they all seemed to join up on the same day, September 24th. What happened that day? I didn't even post a comic. Mystery.

Let's have a hugabration!

Ah well...

2010-09-17T16:37:00.001-10:00

My first one! Yay!

Honestly, I'm not worried about it. When I get back eight more just like it, I'll be upset, but not for now -- Tribune is hardly considered a comic syndicate anyway.

News on the book is as follows: original publisher was crap, and expensive crap at that. Since I can't justify charging what I'd have to charge for the book, I have to look for local publishers. My former boss at the comic/record shop wants to help me out, as he has contacts in printing and distributing. Sadly, this means still more delays. It's a wonder anyone gets anything done in these strange modern times. Onward!

Apologies to anyone waiting for the long-promised book -- the company printing it has sent me a copy of my own to preview, but of course, it's taking flipping FOREVER. I ordered it July 30th and it's still in transit. Hopefully all will go well and I'll be able to put it up for sale soon, but in the meantime, please enjoy the weekly comics and write in to say what's on your mind!

I love a cheapie

My sister nearly cried when she read this one. That's how I know I did a good job.

Oh how we Snap

2010-08-03T22:32:00.001-10:00

The book is done, folks! I'm just waiting for my copy to come so I can quality check it, but after that, it'll be available locally and online for all my six or seven readers to enjoy! Stay tuned, kids.

Good Golly, it's a review!

2010-05-28T15:56:00.002-10:00

Hello all! Just dropping a quick line to share a piece from Synchronized Chaos Magazine, which is running my strip this month in addition to other, brilliantly provocative articles and artworks. It's humbling to be seen alongside such thoughtful, graceful artists and writers.

Nevertheless, they had this to say...

"We often find it difficult to understand ourselves and our own motivations and desires, much less outside reality. Hawaiian comic artist Kit Fox renders her personal artistic journey through her black and white strip, intentionally appropriating a ‘cute’ childish sensibility and style of humor. This, combined with Fox’s unassuming self-mockery, and the realistic curves on her human and animal characters, creates a warm, human sensibility which opens viewers up to her relatively honest psychological exploration."

My stars, I had no idea I was so deep! I guess I really AM a bit brilliant, aren't I?

The magazine can be found here and is updated monthly. Check it out!

I think most of us can relate to the horror of the Old Man Alarm Clock. The Boyfriend used to have one that made me jump out of my skin at an ungodly hour. No wonder guys are such crankypantses, if they gotta wake up to that noise... I bought him a new one with nature sounds and tweeting birds.
