Finishing stuff is hard. When I first came up with the idea of the Occult Society as a setting and central metaphor, I intended The Page of Cups to be a short and simple narrative that would finally break my habit of never finishing a comics story. But here we are in 2026, and of course it’s still not finished. But there are so many other ideas that I’m excited to explore! I have to put this thing to bed so I can write about esoteric socialism and highly intelligent magpies!
The new problem that’s emerged is one of distribution. When we lived in Seattle, Melanie and I would try to finish a comic book in time to sell it at the Vancouver Comic Arts Festival. Now that we live in Sweden, I really don’t know what you do with a comic book when you’re done with it. So I figured that I’d serialise it here from the beginning (the best place to start). I’m aiming to post about 10 pages a week, which should bring it to a conclusion at the end of August.
Thanks for reading Invisible Dot! This post is public so feel free to share it.
