    It's taken me awhile but here I am to say hello to you lovely folks! I am the one known as Jennifer. I'm super excited to work with Emily on FIJ and I hope that you guys share just a tiny sliver of my excitement because that is still enough to blow your minds with awesome.

    I am on Facebook everyday so, if you haven't already, you should join our fan page and I'll be there for anyone who wants to drop in and say hi. And feel free to leave your thoughts about the strip as a whole or the latest page. Sharing is fun. :) We also will have fan exclusives, art you won't see anywhere else and other general updates and whatnot. You can also contact me directly at jenb (dot) fij (at) gmail (dot) com

  • Happy Holidays!

    Hey all! We've posted Jennifer's excellent "Xmas Smoochies" (all her, from idea to colors) to ring in the holiday spirit. Hope you love it as much as we do!

    I asked Emily to add "Do not open 'til Xmas" to Petra's dress here, but she (wisely) advised against it. We do still think it's funny, though!

    Anyway, hope you all have an amazing holiday season, stay warm and safe, and wish all of you and your families the best from FIJ!

  • Welcome Aboard Jennifer:-)

    Okay folks, there's some rather epic news here. First off, my hand feels better! Thanks to all of you who have been sending it happy thoughts:-D

    Second, I have really liked working on FIJ with Jennifer. She and I have been friends for over ten years now. We survived high school together, which is no small feat as I'm sure the majority of you know. Our art teacher arranged the seating chart in such a way that we were the only two people sitting at our table in the far corner of the room. It was pretty awkward there for a while as we were both painfully shy and quiet kids. I'm pretty sure we finally started talking to each other once we realized we were both trekkies:-)

    Like I was saying, I've been having a blast working with her. I send her scripts that I was typing with my non-injured hand, and she replies with emails containing her line art, and then I squeal with glee every time I open them. It's just so cool to she what she does. She conveys what's going on a heck of a lot better than I do, and I think she adds something awesome to FIJ that just wasn't there before. I've asked her if she wants to keep doing it, and she said yes:-D

    So, join me, fellow Pajamazons, in giving Jennifer a warm welcome!

    Peace!
    Emily

    Greetings Pajamazons! That's what Greg said we should call you guys, and I thought it was awesome, so there you have it!

    As many of you know, I sprained my hand, and can't really draw (or type for that matter) without all sorts of weird, tingly burning sensations, along with general feelings of ouch kicking in after a bit. So, my super-talented friend Jennifer Bryant is helping out with her mad drawing skills to help keep the show on the road while I'm out of commission. I'm really excited, and I'm sure you guys will dig her stuff!

    Also, your fellow Pajamazon (hehe), Kat, is just starting her own webcomic called "I Just Work Here," and I've really been enjoying it so far! Check it out, and show her some support:-)

  • Friend looking for Comic Strip Artist

    Posted by Emily on Oct 8, 2009, 1:17am

    Heya folks! If any of you who have illustration skills are sitting about looking for a strip to draw, I'd like to recommend the one my friend Tristan has been developing for a while. I've read the original pitch along with a bunch of the strips, and so far it's awesome!

    Here's the blurb he wrote about it if you're interested:
    "Published writer (books, screenplays, articles, and more) seeks artist with great skills who has lovely work but not necessarily able to create characters and plot. Object: Web Comic. Main characters are “furry”, but humans also figure in the story. NO GRAPHIC BITS; I’m aiming for light-PG rated, lots of humor, some romance, and perhaps a few social comments (I’m a Liberal – get over it). Art samples welcomed, NOT redistributed in any way. I can provide a “bible” for the series, with character descriptions and info, general areas of consideration, and (currently) over 105 panel-by-panel descriptions of strips I’ve already written. Write to Tristan at improvbear@gmail.com and we’ll talk more."
