Issue #4 Out Now!

Posted on February 12, 2024 by ject

Another Month, Another Zine.

It has been really inspiring to work alongside so many comic creators, and heartening to see the reactions to those comics. We appreciate you reading our work so incredibly much.

This month we have a story about love not meant to be by Juanele, starring his character the duck Patas Negras (which translates to “Black Legs”); Amelie Shypilova then steps in with a story about defending what one loves and becoming part of it, to any extent necessary; sensing a theme, Peny0u delivers a brief and sweet tale of star-crossed lovers; and to close the zine I bring you the story of a scare I had about 15 or 16 years ago. Time flies.

Thanks again for reading, do share these comics and tell people about Fodongo! All of the previous issues’ comics are available on the website.

Issue #3 OUT NOW!

Posted on January 9, 2024 by ject

2024, Free Culture for All!

Look, it’s a new year, and it looks like Fodongo is part of it! Thanks for being a part of Fodongo too!

For our first issue of the year we start out with a comic about young writer in the midst of a romantic adventure the likes of which has never been seen before, by BurnedCoffee; Federico Kempke then gives us a reflective look at his complex (to say the least) relationship with airports; then we have a comic about the role parenthood plays in adventuring, by returning artist Sprak; and finally we have the conclusion (?) of the Magical Singing Frog’s journey, by myself.

If you like these comics please share them with everyone you know, and check out our past issues: I’m sure you will find more comics to like there.

Thanks again for reading us, happy new year, and onwards we go to a year full of comics!

Back for more comics goodness!

Whether you’re back for round two or this is the first time we meet, I want to thank you for picking up this issue of Fodongo.

This time around you can enjoy another short horror comic by Zach Acherman, which might finally get everyone to stop watching TV; a delightfully cute instruction manual by a 22 month old toddler (and Sharvari Shah); a battle for the ages between a feline and a robot, by Amanda S. Rovaron; and the continuing adventures of the Magical Singing Frog, by myself.

Thanks again to all the artists contributing to this issue. This project would not be possible without their talents and awesomeness.

And thank you, again, reader, for checking this project out and supporting independent comics and Free Culture.
