This post that I’m about to write right now feels so much like a dream that I’m finding it hard to chose the words.
So maybe I’ll just go straight to the point: Side Quested, the webcomic that I have been working on with my partner K.B. Spangler since 2023, will be printed in Book format, to launch in 2026!
It might not sound like much, but hear me out: We’re not talking about a crowdfunding campaing, or independent publication as has Arroz was. We signed a two-book deal with Andrews McMeel Universal, the same US publisher that publishes Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, and Sarah Andersen’s Scribbles!
I know, right? INSANITY.
You can read a little bit more about it on Side Quested’s blog, here. But TL;DR, both books should be in US’ and UK’s bookstores in 2026. If we get lucky in this meantime, some Publishers from other countries (I hope Brazil and Portugal, at least!) should strike a deal for translations, but we have a lot of time until then.
I guess the message here is: always keep up the good work. Luck only strikes if it finds you working hard.
