A lot of ppl have asked exactly what my new comic series Toyetica is about, so here's a quick summary!

Here's the lowdown: in this world, humans and a tiny race of people 8 inches tall called Toys co-exist. The Toy people used to be captured and abused by humans, kept as pets and playthings for their children. Now, in the modern world, the Toys have a kickass union and an agreement with human toy companies that any doll made for human children MUST be based verbatim on a real Toy person, to ensure employment for them. So Toy people go to school to become more "toyetic," aka more marketable to toy companies. They try to get the best accessories, develop a gimmick, find their demographic niche and compete for a coveted spot on every toy store's shelf.

Trixie Tangle is one such Toy, and has a hard time living up to her sister Traci's success in the 80's as the ultra-hot "Traci Fitness Star" doll. Together with her other less-than-marketable friends at Dollington Academy, she strives to find her place on the shelf, win over the toy company executives and make her mark in the world!

Along the way, Trixie and friends blow up a gazebo, battle giant bees, go to a dance, accidentally devalue the entire Accessories Guild, kidnap a horse, name a rabbit Napkin, fight the Man, start a band, live large and do what toys do best: have fun!

There's also a subplot about Block, a school sport that one of my friends called "Doll Quidditch, but way more fun."  We've almost totally ironed out all the rules to the sport of Block, and I fully intend to get a life-size real match of it going one day for posterity's sake. :) Just need to get one of those human-sized inflatable balls a bunch of lacrosse/jai alai sticks.

Is there a release date at all for this? I LOVED Bizenghast, and I can't wait to see what you do with this series.
