We did it!! 🥳 Ode is funded! 🎉 Indiegogo didn’t make it easy, but you all showed up and made it happen. Thank you so much to everybody who backed it, or helped spread the word, or just took the time to check it out.

A moss may be the star of the story, but Ode also has human characters, enigmatic though they may be. Check out some early concept work for the Voice (drawn by @_pppond ), and learn more about her in the short story, “Anacrusis,” on my Substack! open.substack.com/pub/candleli...

It’s a long way to the top, if you wanna be sentient moss. But this moss is 94% of the way there! An uncolored page and thumbnails from my upcoming comic, Ode. Art by @pondi.bsky.social Let’s get it over the top! www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/... #art #moss #nature #fantasy #pnw

We have just one week left, and $140 left to successfully fund Ode! As the Brits say, it’s squeaky bum time (I’ve been watching Bake Off). 😬🍑 If you’d like to give a little extra to help us hit that goal, there are some cool add-ons you could consider picking up! www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/...

Moss is a powerful ally against climate change! Sphagnum moss is believed to store more carbon than any other plant through a process known as carbon sequestration, which mitigates climate change by storing CO2, slowing the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. #mossmonday

Faye Stacey ( @pondi.bsky.social ) is the creator responsible for all the art, interiors and cover, that you see in Ode! I first discovered their work through Find a Seat, a comic they wrote and illustrated.

Launch day has arrived! Ode is the story of a small moss plant deep in the forest that becomes sentient and goes on a spiritual journey. It’s a loving tribute to nature and a story about remembering your roots even as you grow beyond the world you know. #comics www.indiegogo.com/projects/ode...

The music for today’s short story includes this little riff that uses harmonics as a melody to create a cool polyphonic effect. The sound reminds me of twinkling stars, which ties in to the story. Listen to the full piece: candlelitrealms.substack.com/p/talus-the-... #acousticguitar #sologuitar

Moss has been around for over 350 million years, making it the oldest land plant on Earth. In all that time, has any moss ever contemplated the nature of its existence, or appreciated the feeling of moisture in its leaves? open.substack.com/pub/candleli... #mossmonday

Anybody else out there who can’t see a DoubleTree without thinking of Mitch Hedberg? “I had my heart set on QuadrupleTree, and we were almost there!” Anyway, it’s the last day of @norwescon !!

Norwescon is going down this weekend! Come find me in Writer’s Row, just outside the Dealer’s Room.

Moss lacks the vascular system that most plants use to transport water and nutrients. Instead, moisture is absorbed directly into its cells through osmosis. There is so much moss living in close proximity to humans, one has to wonder what else they might absorb from us. #mossmonday

Let’s go, Port Angeles! I’ve got my lean half-table setup today, but I’m still selling delicious, full-fat comics. 😋 @squatchconpa #graphicnovel #comicbook #fantasy #scifi #postapocalyptic

Come find me at @squatchconpa this weekend! You might need to dig around in some belyds.🪻🤓🪻I said a sighting was guaranteed but I didn’t say you wouldn’t have to work for it.

Sasquatch may be rare and elusive, but I’m certainly not. I’ll be back at it again this weekend for @squatchconpa in Port Angeles. A Travis sighting is guaranteed! 👀 #indiecomics #supportindiecomics #graphicnovel #comicbooks #fantasy #scifi #postapocalyptic

Moss can hold up to 22 times its own weight in liquid, and has natural antiseptic properties. This makes it an excellent resource for dressing wounds, which humans have used across the world and throughout history. #mossmonday

Hey Salem, it’s day 2! Come take shelter from the rain and peruse some fine comics while you’re at it.

I admire how moss can grow in the most unlikely places. It needs very little light, and no soil. It can survive long periods without moisture. Where other plants would never go, moss thrives. #mossmonday

Hikes take longer lately since I’ve been taking all these moss photos. I don’t mind slowing down though. It’s amazing how much beauty you find when you take the time to look. #mossmonday

When an area has been damaged, such as by wildfires or deforestation, moss plays a vital role in rebuilding the ecosystem: stabilizing soil and retaining water so that other plants can grow. #mossmonday

In place of roots, moss has tiny, hair-like structures called rhizoids, which serve primarily to anchor the moss to surfaces such as rock, soil, or tree bark. #mossmonday

Moss contains natural antifreeze: a solution of sugar and sugar alcohols that becomes more concentrated in the winter and helps prevent ice crystals from forming in the moss's cells. #mossmonday

In 2014, researchers from the British Antarctic Survey and Reading University succeeded in reviving moss that had been frozen for over 1500 years in Antarctica. #mossmonday

Moss plants have no roots, instead absorbing water and nutrients from the air around them through their leaves. #mossmonday
