Recently, I announced that Act Two of “KELLY” would begin on Nerve.com early this month. Yesterday morning, I was informed that it will in fact not be appearing on their site at all, saying the sex was too dark and not in line with the tone of their Comics Issue.
What does that mean for our little friends and their grimy adventures? It means we’re debuting “KELLY” back home on ACT-I-VATE, now, today. I’ve spent the last month working on this sans the welcome company of your lovely feedback. This is some of my favorite work to date, so get ready to fling some kisses.
I’ve been teasing you about the return of “KELLY” since our little dishwashing quickie last month… but I’ve been busy cartooning as well. Today, I am jazzed to be a little less vague and announce that Act Two of everyone’s favorite damaged psych-out romance “KELLY” is going to premiere as an exclusive feature on the internet’s smartest sex site Nerve.com. This first installment of Act Two is not just a triple-length chapter, but a sequence I’ve been waiting to draw since Max and Kelly first met almost a year ago.
And here’s the sweetest part: “KELLY” isn’t leaving the ranks of ACT-I-VATE to do this. In February, you’ll be able to go to Nerve and read the premiere of Act Two (and the rest of the Comics Issue) for free, where it will live as an exclusive feature for one month before returning to ACT-I-VATE for the duration of its run.
Since we started ACT-I-VATE nearly a year ago, it’s been our dream to bring people who don’t read auteur comics into our little screen/paper worlds by reaching their eyes where their asses are already planted: in front of their computer screens. Bringing “KELLY” to Nerve clues a lot of people in to the secret all of us are already hip to: the strongest and most personal work in comics grows wild and roams free out here on the electronic frontier.
Nerve’s Comics Issue features not only a collection of writing about comics by Nerve contributors about comics, but also new work by Sophie Crumb, Meg Hunt, Chynna Clugston, Ashley Wood, Leah Hayes, Jim Mahfood and Andi Watson and interviews with Alison Bechdel and Evan Dorkin. It’s set to debut in February… and I’ll of course announcement specific dates when they’re ready.
Glad you’re here with me, kids. I’m making this stuff for you.
“Sing Along”, a 6pg collaboration from 2004 with my brother Steven on his “taxi-service-for-the-recently-departed” series STYX TAXI is now live on The Chemistry Set for all to enjoy:
At the request of just about everyone, I have replaced my over-clunked “Kelly” archive with a smooth-locked new one. This contains everything to date, because I love you.
You must click to enjoy.
Steven Goldman, known to some as my younger brother, has had the good fortune and smarts to bring his critically-acclaimed comic series STYX TAXI back to the world on sister webcomic site The Chemistry Set, casting off its mortal self-published paper coil and joining the electronic placenta from which we all draw nourishment nowadays.
Beginning at the beginning, STYX TAXI will serialize all its previously-published stories to date (including our 2004 collaboration “Singalong”) and then drop the new stuff, beginning with a short piece written by Steven and illustrated by Hyeondo Park before rolling out towards the series’ not-yet-announced future.
Now is a good time to be a STYX fan.
