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!

Fodongo Issue #2 OUT NOW!!!

Posted on December 4, 2023 by ject

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.

If you know of anyone who would enjoy this, point them to the website! Or send them this issue! Or print it and share it with them! There are way more comics to come, so stay tuned, and enjoy!

Fodongo Issue #1 OUT NOW!

Posted on November 3, 2023 by ject
Cover for Issue #1

Let’s make something, together, for everyone.

Hey!
Wow, you made it! Welcome to the first issue of Fodongo, a comics zine!
Thank you for coming. Please, make yourself comfortable and enjoy the next few minutes of reading through a thoroughly spooky grocery run (by Sprak); a creepy and short yet twisty horror vignette (by Zach Acherman); an overwhelming amount of notifications and social expectations (by Owen Twaites); and finally a weird space comic featuring a magical singing frog (by myself).
These are all original, 3-page comics specifically commissioned for this zine and released under Free Culture licenses, for your enjoyment and that of everyone around you. Done reading already? Read it again! Or share it with someone! Or tell someone else about it so that they can read it multiple times and share it as well!
Don’t forget to look at the artists’ bios at the back of the zine and check out their work! I’m infinitely grateful to them for agreeing to be a part of this project and contributing their wonderful talents and stories to it.
I am also incredibly grateful to you, reader, for checking this out! All the money made by this zine goes back into it and, more importantly, towards the artists who contribute to it! Reading cool comics and supporting artists are endeavors that everyone will agree are worthwhile, and you’re a hero for being a part of it. So. THANK YOU.
And speaking of being a part of it: don’t hesitate to create your own derivative works based off of what you read here; just refer to the back of the zine to see what the licenses used by each artist entail.
Ok, that’s it from me for now. Take care, and enjoy them comics!
