It is beginning to look like it’s going to be easier – and a bit more straightforward – to have one store at Society6. It will feature basically prints and mugs. We would love to put up various prints of the Londontlife cartoons, but feel they won’t always have a

Welcome to samupress: Stores, stores, stores…
Looks like I have three stores going. Two Society6 and one here at WordPress with Woo. There’s Instagram and Facebook integration for a few items. Square seems to be the most useful for in-person selling-a-thing using that little plastic doohickey. WordPress and Woo like Stripe. For a time back there,

83 cartoons across 52 pages It’s a Londontlife#6 is at the printers for proofs. It’s always exciting for the new book to come out. And this one is packed with 83 cartoons – a record – over 52 5×7 inch pages. Yes, I should be thinking in metric. I am

Distribution: The advice is “Go wide not deep” even as the audience for LondOntLife is siloed, localized to London Ontario What we are pondering. I want, simply, to draw the cartoon and share it. Managing all this is a drag. Where you can find us Twitter: @LondOntLife Following? About:450 WordPress:

From page 21 of It’s a Londontlife #2. We lost a lot of work somehow in a failed backup crash power outage disaster. I don’t know. Work from 2018 and 2019 was amongst that. Anyway. This was Drug Frod’s first use of the Not Withstanding to dismantle the Toronto city

Check out Ghosts of Election Past where we gathered a few highlights from 2018. Not that we intended it at all, and it seems a bit of a promotion for that book #2 of cartoons. Turns out a lot of lost documents not recovered washed up on a desert island.

Samupress will be at table 25a in Artisans Alley Sept 17 and 18 2022 with 3 years of new LondOntLife cartoon books and prints. Doug will have some art and cat cartoon books.

Quick turnaround from M&T. I guess that’s why they’re called Instaprint after all. Nice clean job, great quality. My only concern for the next book is most efficient use of the paper page as the size of these leaves half the 11×17 sheet as waste. We will have to consider

Unusual delays, staff changes, Covid… but we managed to check out the proofs for books 4 and 5. August is short, and September is coming up fast. Anyway, a few small changes in book 5 will be heading back to the printer after the weekend.

OMG. Square is a PITA. One seriously needs a guide-priest to figure out the system. Whatever I need to toggle to set something is set three clicks away under a label I have to guess at. Okay, I’ll will continue to use the Inventory and payment system. Such a clean

There may yet be a few copies of It’s A LondOntLife #1 at Brown & Dickson. We are really negligent. We’ll have to check. But the last one we physically held went to a person at Free Comic Book Day May 7 2022 in downtown London. We prepped and printed

When we discarded Cartoonlife, of course we did a backup. That backup somehow remains linked to here, the renamed Samupress. Some of it is interesting enough to keep and sort to other pages or blogs, or linked to their books. Soon.
