Hey Vern!

Vernon!
Guess what?!
(Rolls eyes)
…Vern, chickens don’t have butts.
Anyways, we’re officially entering the final stretch. We’re on page 110 (Arief’s pencils are below!). We’ve added a few splash pages and extra goodness to really spice things up, so we’re now looking at about 168-ish pages total.
Gosh, I haven’t waited this long on something this exciting since a Norwegian prince texted me out of the blue and told me if I donate my life savings of $37 and wait patiently… I’d become a millionaire! Can you believe that?!
…Still waitin’ on that one.
But this here? We’re talkin’ soon, Vern. Just around the corner. This year. 2026! So hang tight and we’ll finally get this bad boy wrapped up, how ’bout ye?
One thing about our illustrator, Arief Russanto — he brings it every. single. day. By the end of this process, we’re all going to have a graphic novel we’re incredibly proud of.
Here's a few of the latest samples (as always -- I have to pick pages that don't have spoilers).
In a crowd, or alone in a neighborhood, Arief packs every panel with gorgeous detail.
Until next time!

Quick January check-in: we’re at page 100. Production always slows down a bit during the holidays, but we’re back at it and moving forward. Check out Arief’s latest page below!
Our illustrator is working extra hard to make sure Ernest looks like Ernest—the expressions, the timing, every goofy beat that makes you say, “Yep… that’s him.” On top of that, he’s packing the pages with an incredible amount of detail.
Here’s a sneak peek at one of his newest pages, where Dr. Otto’s Gloombeam is hemming the town in… which uh, not exactly a good thing, Vern.
Thanks, as always, for your patience and support. We’re excited for what’s ahead in the new year!

May your stockings be stuffed, and your chimney be, uh, stuffed... with Ernest. Hangin’ upside-down, blood rushin’ to his head, panicked as Vern reaches for...
Quick update: we’re now on page 95, Yes, it's movin' slow, but, Arief Russanto, the artist, is putting in TONS of effort to make every page is chalked full of fantastic detail, and really caring to make sure Ernest looks like the Ernest we all know and love.
We’re so grateful the support, laughs, and holiday cheer.

I hope everyone’s stuffed full of turkey and feeling extra grateful... mostly for the five extra pounds we all just gained.
We’re sittin’ around page 90 right now, moving slow but steady! Check out three panels from one of our latest pages below!
Thanks for sticking with us, Vernon!
