I know: I disappeared again for a couple weeks; it’s just something I do.
In fact, there wasn’t a lot of news until today. And the major news of the day is that Swyndle [the guy behind Predacious Moments who has to date evaded capture and statesanctioned therapy] has returned; and he’s brought along the SwyndleChicks.
For the moment, at launch, the ninja is already online; though, by the time You the Visitor read this–presuming I haven’t updated the site with more news by then–there might well be more SwyndleChicks to collect. At present, I think we’ve got about thirty basic vocations [I'm allowing herein that being a ninja is a sort of career] planned for the whole line; to date, the first five or six are pencilled out, awaiting only the timedraining task of inking them in vector and colouring in the various fleshtones…and clothes, as they might apply, however rarely.
As I write this, the SwyndleChicks are a bit exclusive to CP, largely because their backend currently makes more sense; once I get done writing this [and don't worry: that should be sometime today], I’ll jump over to PF and see what sort of damage I can do on that storefront.
That, of course, is being called into question at the moment. And I’m not entirely certain why. Here’s the story on that….
Several months ago, I got ZOMBIE: eat flesh added to CP; and that was fine. More than fine: it was successful. At this point, it’s beginning to match damnit.wheelchair in overall popularity. And that’s good news.
So, when I got PF added to Wasted, I added ZOMBIE: eat flesh to PF. And that was really good, to my thinking; here, in fact, was the result of that effort:

Click for Biggerness

The two on the right [meaning the one on the right and the one in the centre] were made by PF; the one on the left [meaning the one on the left] was made by CP; the mess on the floor was made by me, but that’s less important. And PF’s products were frankly better than CP’s, as far as I’m concerned. So adding the shirts over at PF was a good idea.
So, here’s the interesting part: my lawyers were okay with this; CP’s lawyers seem to remain okay with it; PF’s lawyers, best I can figure, were okay with it when I added it, remained okay with it when I ordered a couple of testrun shirts to make sure I was okay with it, and then, as of yesterday, stopped being okay with it.

To hazard a guess, ZOMBIE: eat flesh violates Clause#7, regarding trademarks. At least in the minds of PF’s lawyers, beginning this year. Why it was okay last year, when I ordered a couple testruns to ensure that PF were good enough to use, is anyone’s guess. But, in this business, them’s the breaks. They’re still okay over at CP, so there’s still time as of this instant to run off and buy them up before they’re outlawed globally.
That said, to my knowledge, the SwyndleChicks, while on the border of Clause#2, remain as of now less pornographic than a lot of things available at PF; hopefully, once I add them over there, they’ll remain available eternally.
And that, I think, is the extent of the news for now. Once we’ve got more SwyndleChicks to talk about, and/or whatever else I manage to get added in the near future, I’ll try to remember to get back here and update the site with whatever information is newer by then.
More later….
