About The Comic

BODIE TROLL
In the fairytale village of Hagadorn lurks Bodie Troll, a fuzzy little grump who wants to be big and scary, but is doomed to be cute and cuddly, and no help from his Fairy Godmother-employer, Miz Bijou, or his barmaid-best friend, Cholly, can change that. But what Bodie lacks in terror he
makes up for in mischief, and silly and suspenseful adventures await just beyond his bridge!
Created, written and drawn by Jay Fosgitt
Coming April 17th 2013 from Red 5 Comics.

DEAD DUCK
Jay’s creator-owned graphic novel about a minion of Death and his sidekick, Zombie Chick, as they collect the dead in all their weirdest and wackiest forms. Previously published by Ape Entertainment in 2009, Dead Duck is currently re-run as a web comic.”

Show Notes:

 

Why do you smell so good? Do you bathe in some sort of expensive soaps? – Brian

We had a chance to read Bodie Troll on our digital devices. What are your distribution plans? – iTunes? Comixology? Independent PDF?  – Joel

In the same line of thought, have digital platforms (iPad, android tablet, retina displays) influenced your layout? Joel

Is is a spoiler to ask how Bodie became employed by Miz Bijou? Joel

I love all the names for the characters in the story so far. How did you come up with them? Do you have a secret sauce for naming your characters in general? Joel

I already love the style of Dead Duck, but it seems like you kicked it up a level for Bodie Troll. How much time does a page for each take? Matt

Is Bodie going to be an ongoing series? Please say yes. Matt

I could gush about your artwork all night. Who are some of the artists you would gush over? Matt

Guys, episode 159 was accidentally uploaded on iTunes as episode 160. This website has the new episode but ITunes has 159 in the 159 and 160 slot. 😉
