SEA SHANTY FUNNIES™: I Yam Contemplating offering a "Fan Club Membership" with Original Inked Drawing, this printed comic book, and more... Are you interested?

 

So, I'm doing something a little different. I've decided to collect all of the SEA SHANTY FUNNIES™ online comic strips (Episodes 1 – 40) that I ran online here in 2025 (up through New Year’s Eve/Day) and put them into a limited run comic book for posterity if you will. A souvenir print full-color comic / fanzine of sorts.

 

I really wanted to have his for myself first and foremost, but I know some of you might be interested in having a copy to hold in your hands and read.

 

Here is the first draft of the cover. I’m also “cleaning up” the interior artwork and re-laying it out to fit the printed page. I’ve also decided to touch up some art mistakes, removed (for the most part) the benday dots and have it be a little brighter in color. Kind of like the look of the comics these last few weeks that I have shifted the coloring ever so slightly.

 

I’m not planning on selling this in comic shops or online stores. This is a Fan Club collectible for those on the SEAS SHANTY FUNNIES Facebook Group and through my website.

 

What I’m thinking about doing is offering you a chance to purchase a “SEA SHANTY FUNNIES ANNUAL FAN CLUB MEMBERSHIP" that includes a fan club certificate, membership card, a few original trading cards, and a signed numbered print. And then… I’ll throw in an ORIGINAL INKED DRAWING that I will draw for you personally… and oh yeah, this issue #1 comic book as a freebie bonus giveaway.

 

I’m trying to figure out cost and shipping. I’m trying to keep costs low, but this may be in the $25 to $40 (U.S. Dollar) range. I’m not really making any profit as I figure most of the cost will cover printing charges, materials, and shipping. I'm trying to keep it low. I think I’m going to make this available via a Paypal payment or mailing a check.

 

Regardless, even if I only print up a dozen comics professionally, I want to have my own copy to put on my comic book rack here at home.

 

Would this be of interest to anyone here?

 

I’m trying to figure out how many would want this or like this to happen?
