FCHS - 33

Posted by Vito Delsante on Saturday, July 26 2008 at 10:54 am

Thanks again for stopping by.

Now for the bad news. This is the last FCHS strip we will be posting, but it’s all for a good reason. Rachel and I got an offer to publish an FCHS comic and we’ve accepted! Who is the publisher? Well, that will remain a secret for the time being as we still have to work out some particulars. One thing of note is that when FCHS returns next year as a comic, what you see then will not be what you’ve seen here. Yep, we’re going to change some things, start a little earlier in the school year, and fill in all that backstory that you (and we) didn’t know existed. This is a fantastic opportunity and we both hope you will all still encourage and follow us in this new endeavor.

It’s funny. When we started this webstrip, I wanted to go 52 weeks straight (actually, we would have gone past 52). 33 straight weeks is not a bad way to go out. It equals out to 11 pages, which is half of a typical comic, so we did a real good job. Credit where it’s due…Rachel, having never done much in the way of comics, really stepped it up and really knocked it out of the park. As I said to the publisher, if not for her, I don’t think we would have gotten the offer. Not bad for a kid with no formal art training, huh?

So, before we get teary, thanks for following a very personal story. We’ll see you back at FCHS in comic shops next year!

-Vito Delsante (the writer) and Rachel Freire (the artist)
