Oh, designer jokes. Typically when a designer puts something together for print, they are working in a CMYK color space - Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and the K is for Black (as in Key Black). It has to do with the way printers are set up. Anyway! The point is that Rook's tongue is magenta, his eyes are yellow, he is all black ... only the cyan was missing! UNTIL NOW.
Okay okay you guys don't care.
Yuko's got some new art up on her Tumblr! Take a look.
An update on holiday shipping,
- International shipping deadline has passed! But we can still mail it out as quickly as we can.
- Domestic shipping deadline is December 15th!
- We're unfortunately out of holiday dino gifts! Really sorry about that! We went and got a second batch and you guys burned through that too.
- Mawzantine Crest tees are 25% off! Hokusai tees available too!
- And books! We're cutting off Special Edition books soon so that Yuko has enough time to get them all ready for holiday shipping!
- Lastly, there are only about 10 Puppy keychains left!
I think that's it. Sorry these posts have been so repetitive - Winter is possibly the busiest time of year! See you next week!

Actually …
Comment by Rock (not verified) Fri, 12/10/2010 - 05:25Actually the K is for Key, since the cyan, magenta and yellow printing plates in a printing press are keyed to the black plate.

Comment by Kouya (not verified) Fri, 12/10/2010 - 17:08I think Nilsa was just making a second joke on what K could stand for since kuro means black in Japanese X'D

Comment by Briget (not verified) Fri, 12/10/2010 - 07:49Hahaha, I care, but that might be because I am an illustrator, and as a result of having CMYK vs RGB pounded into my head as a student, I find all those jokes so awesome. :D

Comment by Matt Nelson (not verified) Fri, 12/10/2010 - 10:38Well, now I'm gonna have to try to find a cyan collar for my own black cat, Jiji. Then every time I look at him I can chortle in artistic nerdiness.
Genius, BTW. That last panel would definitely be a marketable item. I would totally buy a sketchbook with that cover.

Comment by ColdFusion (not verified) Fri, 12/10/2010 - 18:42I got a collar for my cat so nobody would think he was a stray.. but he hated it so much, he tried to bite it off.. when it caught on his teeth and his jaw was held open, he DIDN'T TELL ME... because he knew I'd fix it and he'd have to wear it again..
I took pity on him and didn't make him wear it anymore XD
