I would use this site more, but I feel like it’s hard to get any traction on your posts. 😟

If you love indie comics and want something fun and exciting, I hope you’ll consider backing Pistol Shrimp on Kickstarter. It’s an epic in the making inspired by books like Saga, Berserk, Preacher, and Axe Cop.
Three pages from Pistol Shrimp #2. This was the issue when this series really found its footing. Still love this one. You can get your own copy right now through the Pistol Shrimp Kickstarter. Get the first four issues digitally for $6 or physically for $30!
I’m so excited for this Kickstarter to end so people can finally read Pistol Shrimp #4. I think @luismorocho.bsky.social and I both agree it’s the best issue yet. I think you guys are gonna love it too!
Just 11 days left to back our comic book! An under the sea action/comedy western that you’re gonna love! Made by humans! No AI art for us.
We’re funded! 🥳🥳🥳 But we’ve still got two weeks! If you want to read one of the best indie comics you’ll read this year, there’s still time!
Did you know you can customize your reward tier to be exactly what you’re looking for? All of our reward options are available as add ons! So feel free to mix and match to get exactly what YOU want from your pledge!
It can be a bit embarrassing to constantly post about your project, but you also never know which random post will be the one that finally convinces someone to back. So I think it’s worth it. 😅
Did you know for just $6 you can get all four issues of Pistol Shrimp and the first issue of Gideon and the Real World digitally to read right off your phone!? Crazy!
Not sure how to get the word out on this site yet, but if you see this I hope you’ll consider checking out our Kickstarter for our comic book Pistol Shrimp! No AI. All humans working together to make something I think you’re gonna love! Check it out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cha...

Make sure you’re following the pre-launch page for Pistol Shrimp #4 over on Kickstarter. The series is getting better with every issue and the earlier you jump on board the easier it’ll be to say, “Yeah, I liked it before it was cool.”
I know the time between issues of Pistol Shrimp can be long. And it probably doesn’t help that our most recent two issues ended with pretty big cliffhangers. But I think putting out a good product is worth the wait. And now we’ve got Pistol Shrimp Summer! 🔫🦐

Just sent over a ton of pages to Buddy today for lettering. Pistol Shrimp #4 is getting close!
Only took about 350 hours, but I finally got Master in Street Fighter 6.
The more issues of Pistol Shrimp we release the bigger it’s going to get. We’re building something here and every chapter is another brick. You’re not going to want to miss this epic in the making.
Manta rays have feelings too (and they make art). The best issue of Pistol Shrimp is already being colored, and it's the best one we've done so far. @charliemcfarland.bsky.social
These characters are alive for us; they express themselves through Charlie's script and my drawings; they have a life of their own. @charliemcfarland.bsky.social
For me, the characters in Pistol Shrimp are not just fish, they are alive, they are real. Script: @charliemcfarland.bsky.social Art. Me
Pistol Shrimp #4 has the most action, the most heart, and the most pages (34) of any issue so far. You’re not going to want to miss this one.
Pistol Shrimp #4 is going to elevate this series in a big way. Our most mature and thought provoking issue so far. You’ll be surprised at the fact that this is just an indie comic and not a bestselling series.
So here’s my plan. I’m funding the new issue of Pistol Shrimp myself. I’ll put it on digital platforms immediately, and do a kickstarter for anyone who wants a printed copy. This way we can have a much smaller goal, and people will get their books almost immediately after.
The best "Pistol Shrimp" we have made so far is coming... @charliemcfarland.bsky.social #Cowboy #Comics #Wacom #Cintiq #LuisMorocho
2025 was my year. And so was 2024. And 2023. And guess what, 2026 will be too. More cool comics coming your way!
Can’t believe Obama put Pistol Shrimp on his favorite books of the year list! What an honor!
I’m really enjoying Pluribus. It takes its time, for sure. But I’m always having a good time with the level of detail they put into every shot. And the character development is still there, though some people online seem to disagree.
