The Undertaken

Actually being old I can't speak to. But Getting old is really interesting. I mean, if you're me. If you aren't me, maybe the hellscape of degradation that our culture constantly heaps on you for having the temerity to not die can find purchase. There's a lot of people trying to make me ashamed of various things and then trying to sell me chemicals to manage them, and while I appreciate the hustle I'm simply too far along whatever kind of spectrum it is to yield to this kind of manipulation. It isn't possible to not age; I never thought I would remain the same. That's what would be weird, in fact: to endure raw time and the obvious, profound insincerities of existence and be recognizable at the end. It's psycho shit; I don't honor it.

You never know what you're gonna get from a Netflix Original. Or, maybe you know exactly, and it suppresses your expectations down to the level where it can be consumed without harm. Their Sony shit kinda pops, though. They delivered authentic quarantine thrills with The Mitchells vs. The Machines, and Sony Pictures Animation's KPop Demon Hunters(?!) made such an impact that it and its pretend bands are getting a theatrical release. I know about it from the girls on my block of course, but once Mork finally gave up on the Fandango at Home app they decided to watch the first thing that came up on Netflix. Then, when they woke up, they watched it again.

I ended up grabbing a plain white deck box for my Gundam deck because it felt appropriate for the RX-78, but once I got home it just started to look like a blank canvas.

Yes, finally! You can preorder SideQuested Book 1 wherever books are sold! Here are convenient links to some of the big stores, but your local indie brick-and-mortar store will also be able to place an order for you.

Here are the specifics:

  • Paperback
  • Price: $18.99
  • Dimensions:
    • 6.5 x 8 inch
    • 16,5 x 20.3 cm
  • ISBN: 9781524896423
  • Publish Date: 17/March/2026
  • Pages: 304
  • Official Andrews McMeel page
  • That image is a mockup, we don’t have it in our hands yet. >>

The online version of the comic has been thoroughly revised for the printed version, and there’s a short story featuring Charlie, John and Leopold that’s exclusive to the book! We haven’t shared even with the Patreons! Here’s a tiny preview:

SideQuested is designed to be a three-book series, but we have a contract for just two books with our publisher. Preorders are critical to show readers’ interest in wanting to hold the story in their hands, and will help us make the argument for them to sign on with SideQuested Book 3. Plus, preorders count towards that important first week of sales, so each preorder purchase gets us closer to bestseller lists!

Thank you very much for your support on this wild ride! We didn’t expect to be here and it’s absolutely bananapants that we are, and we couldn’t have done it without you!

Ale & KB.

This week I’ve been playing more Balatro.

I’ve almost finished getting all of the jokers. I just missing the one for wining a run with just four jokers, and a mystery one.

I also played a little bit of Rainbow Six Siege.

I only had a little bit of time due to a lot of stuff going on, so Balatro was the easiest to play with low free time.

How is everyone else doing?

Hello all!

So, the hunt for a job continues, as AI and some other factors have all but paralyzed the animation industry I am, still, unemployed. The economy and other factors have made finding OTHER work just as difficult. Add to that the fact that as someone with 30+years experience doing storyboards and character design, I’m not really qualified for a lot of would-be jobs anyway.

So in an attempt to rectify my inability to contribute financially to the family, I’m attempting to convert the YAFGC books to a print-on-demand model. It turns out that I wasn’t actually getting any notifications from the store as its currently set up, so hopefully I’ll be able to fix that as well. I just thought nobody was buying stuff. So once that’s settled I’ll probably have a blow-out sale to try to unload some of my stock of printed books here in favour of the new model, which will include all the books (including vol 4 which I sold out of a while ago) and new books. Ideally, more YAFGC (Volume 6 is actually just about ready to go and has been for years) and hopefully new and other things. (More “House of Paulus”, maybe some “Space YAFGC”, and we’ll see what else my brain can come up with).

Also, in a more immediate action, I’m open for Commissions! Please feel free to comment or contact me and we can discuss them. I’ll try to put together a commission info page on this website here, but I’ve got to make some cash, and I’ve got to draw.

Thanks for sticking around and understanding!

Love you all;

Rich “Beholder King” Morris
