Hi! Here to give another update.
Kevin has fully launched his website and is continuing to post his art and comics on there and on social media. We will no longer be updating any of the Interrobang pages, so please give him a follow on there for more fun K-Bo antics.

We've realized that the google form may be a little complicated for folks, so we pushed forward with making a shop on Kevin's new Ko-Fi!
We'll be keeping the form up in case people would like to still use it, so that's not going anywhere. We'll be updating the inventory manually and adjusting on Ko-fi as well.
Thank you, thank you for your continued support! We still have a lot of cards and prints on sale for $1-$3. Majority of these pieces will not be printed again either.
K-Bo is a cartoonist, designer, part-time lover, and junk culture junkie! Buy some of his art or just buy him a box of Franken Berry with Ko

Hey hey
You may have noticed that www.interrobangstudios.com is no longer online. There’s been some big changes and we want to update you. Long story short, Interrobang Studios as a business entity has closed its doors.
+ Sarah’s health has changed and she needs to—and we want her to!—take a step back and focus on her wellbeing.
+ Without Sarah? There is no Interrobang Studios. We have decided to retire the name. Kevin will pick up where Interrobang Studios left off with Sarah’s full encouragement and blessing. He will focus on his own artist business and K-Bo brand.
+ Our team is selling the last of the Interrobang books, prints, posters, and cards here at https://forms.gle/oLWJ7QrsP7myrf7i8. Proceeds from the sales will be split between our crew. We’re still determined to support one another and appreciate your help.
+ Kevin is still making art, filling commissions, and working on new projects! Follow him on his social media to keep updated! He hopes to have a full website again by the end of summer. The old comics will also be going back up in a new space, stay tuned!
+ Our team will be retiring the Interrobang Patreon and sending out one last ‘thank you’ pack to all our loyal supporters. We deeply appreciate all their help over the years.
+ Kevin and Sammi will be back on the convention circuit starting in 2021. Look for them at Baltimore Comic Con in the Baltimore convention center October 22-24th.
Things are changing, but the art will keep flowing. We appreciate your love for the work we do!

~~~A Special Note from Sarah:
I cannot say ‘Thank You’ enough for the incredible times we’ve had.
In the early 2000s, I never would have imagined what was ahead for me. Interrobang Studios debuted at a local hotel in 2005 and stayed in business for 15 years. From after-work hours making comics in a basement in 2004 to learning Canadian Import Law in preparation for our first international shows, we covered a lot of ground! I published 17 books with Kevin and visited you all at more than 200 separate conventions across half the United States plus Canada!
And at every single one of them, the most incredible part was each of you. Every time one of you came by the artist alley table, it was a firework of excitement. We had a guest! A visitor! A friend!
You brightened my days in a way I don’t think you realize. I was so excited to talk to you. About anything! Fandom and Kevin and the convention and the costumes and the best local restaurants and our big plans for the next year. Y’all were lifesavers who helped us with the odd bathroom break and the much needed food run. You showed me the coolest swag and we each talked up our favorite vendors. You modeled your latest costumes and your most mind-blowing props for me. I got to meet some of your families and so many of your friends and it was fantastic!
I wouldn’t trade any of it for anything.
Thank you for sharing so much of yourselves with me. All your enthusiasm and affection for the work we were doing—and for who we are as people on a creative team—it 100% made all of the work worthwhile. From the bottom of my heart, I could not be happier to have met you. You’re all my sunshines. <3
Interrobang's Back!
You may have noticed--we're doing comics again! They've been going live on www.MascotComic.com while we found our balance, and Kevin will begin pre-loading them on our Patreon for exclusive, advance enjoyment starting this week! (Consider joining the party www.Patreon.com/interrobangstudios to get in on the fun.)
SPX (Small Press Expo) is coming September 16 & 17 to the Bethesda, MD Marriott. Interrobang Studios will be at table H4!
Last, but really important--Thank you for sticking with us! Your readership, support, and belief in us means the world! <3
It's 40 miles to SPX, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of bubblegum, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. HIT IT! <cue Blues Brothers soundtrack>
It's still the 4th on Csilla. ALSO THIS SATURDAY IS FREE COMIC BOOK DAY! Find @kevinbolk at Captain Blue Hen Comics in Newark, DE. Find @sarah-bang at Amazing Spiral Comics in Baltimore, MD. Need a closer store? Locate one using your zip code at www.comicshoplocator.com
Details are linked above in a public, free post, but @kevinbolk and @sarah-bang have shifted our partnership from 'romance & comic' to '100% Comics!' It was a little bumpy and we got quiet and we're sorry about that, but we aren't gone. We didn't quit. We have a path forward! (And we missed you.)
SMALL PRESS EXPO-A-GO-GO
This weekend! Kevin! Sarah! BOOKS! GAMES! PRINTS! POSTERS?! WAH! So many beautiful artists there with their beautiful art! 1,000,000 incredible, amazing, innovative, unique, bizarre, and phenomenal works all in one room... So Stoked!

POCKET RIVALS CHAMPION JULIYETI
~ #Kickstarter Coming Soon ~
Magical #ice #princesses don't grow on trees, and Juliyeti is a #rare #gem of the upper altitudes. She appears and disappears like the snows themselves, traveling the playing field using the #secret arts of her people. Powerful and tall, don't let her #soft exterior fool you! Accustomed to harsh conditions, she has enormous #stamina and #strength of #resolve. Gowned in the light pink tint of #love, her only weakness is the #bot of her #dreams, the steady and reliable Chromeo. Not even for the sake of her #Allies and #teammates could she harm him!
Just like Chromeo, @kevinbolk dove into traditional #stage #costuming for #inspiration drawing the Juliyeti design. Her poofy legs mimic the lines of a #renaissance #dress. The #magical ice #horn is Kevin's special touch. She was meant to be a big fluffy white cloud, but the more Kevin worked on her with a warm undertone, the pinker she became. We think she looks best this way. There had been plans to make an art card set of #robots vs #monsters centered around Juliyeti and her love, Chromeo. We kept shifting it to the back burner though, because we had no way of explaining the larger #world that surrounded them with just flat #art #cards. When the idea of a #card #game arose, these two were a natural fit. We look forward to the #comics and #character expansion that the game will allow!
All of these cards are made for our awesome strategy card game, Pocket Rivals! It’s for 2 players 8 and up, taught in a few minutes, and finishes in a half hour. It’s if your favorite card game and chess had a game baby!

POCKET RIVALS CHAMPION CHROMEO
~ #Kickstarter Coming Soon ~
#Fast as a flash and gone in a wink, the #blood #prince of binary, Chromeo teleports where ever his #heart will take him. It's a #bold heart--one that has seen him through many complex decision making procedures. He's steady in battle, cool under pressure, and hard as a #diamond against the #enemies of his family. That same liquid power cell in his chest has led him astray though--thawing his resolve and melting his #logic circuits. If Juliyeti's on the field, he just can't bring himself to fight her!
@kevinbolk had always conceived of Chromeo & Juliyeti as a pair. So naturally, when he #designed each one of them, he took the other into account. Since Juliyeti is an abominable indigenous person from a people known for their height, Chromeo ended up being one of the #smallest Pocket Rivals #competitors on the field. Kevin researched generations of #Romeo #costume #design, scouring for components which would look good in #metal. Is that Chromeo's hair in a pageboy or is it a helmet? Hard to say!
All of these cards are made for our awesome strategy card game, Pocket Rivals! It’s for 2 players 8 and up, taught in a few minutes, and finishes in a half hour. It’s if your favorite card game and chess had a game baby!

POCKET RIVALS CHAMPION TREERLEADER TRINA
~ #Kickstarter Coming Soon ~
Treerleader Trina #cheers for the #trees. And woodn't you know it--our #champion of #charm on the #Monster Team is a dryad! A real saucy #blossom at the best of times, she really flourishes when exposed to #sunlight and #competition. Trina can't deny she's a bit of a shady lady, but since she's super persuasive, she's an all-natural #team #favorite!
@kevinbolk was hoping to include more female-presenting monsters, and made up his mind to add a #dryad to the team. #Ancient Grecian tree-spirits, these #supernatural #creatures were specifically associated with oak trees. (That's where Trina gets her #Acorn from!) There were loads of #sketches of dryads, but when Kevin drew her pompom leaves, he knew he'd hit paydirt. (Sorry about the #puns. Be-leaf me, it's difficult to stop.)
All of these cards are made for our awesome strategy card game, Pocket Rivals! It’s for 2 players 8 and up, taught in a few minutes, and finishes in a half hour. It’s if your favorite card game and chess had a game baby!

POCKET RIVALS CHAMPION Q3N-B
~ #Kickstarter Coming Soon ~
Talk about a hive #mind! Super-sensitive and double-darling, this #sweet stay-in-home #mother has a crystal clear connection with each of her children. Q3N-B and her Busy-B HoneyDrones #fly far and wide and can really spread out on the field. Her #processors compute input from the hundreds of compound eyes and send her lightning-fast swarms streaking ahead to cut off her rival's escape routes. What a sticky situation for her #opponents!
@kevinbolk originally conceived of "Queen Bee" as a #bug #hive #monster for the monster team. The #situation got a re-think after initial sketches were too scary. (Also, #bees are our friends.) Q3N-B got pulled over to the #robot side, where the only thing that remained of her #original #design was her hive-bottom. As a robot, that #hive became a #dress and her hair turned into a pair of pigtail #honey faucets. Kevin had to adjust again, because ultimately her long-ballgown hive and the kiddie pigtails just didn't mesh. Once she had an updo--but not a beehive, because that would be silly--her 'ears' were uncovered. That left room for the HoneyDrones to climb inside and empty their glass bottle butts.
All of these cards are made for our awesome strategy card game, Pocket Rivals! It’s for 2 players 8 and up, taught in a few minutes, and finishes in a half hour. It’s if your favorite card game and chess had a game baby!

POCKET RIVALS CHAMPION KNUCKLE BILLY
~ #Kickstarter Coming Soon ~
Knuckle Billy's #rivals rarely realize how ruinous risking a #rampage with Billy can be! Half #Horse. Half Man. ALL FIGHT. Here comes Knuckle Billy, so you better duck! This master of mayhem's comin' out swinging with double the mitts for double the hits. Knuckle Billy gonna getchu comin' or goin'. His extra height and speedy feet mean extra reach, so keep an ear to the ground and listen for hoof beats.
@kevinbolk's #research on #monsters turned up a #creature called a Nuckelavee. These famine demons are supposed to come from the sea, wither crops and spread disease, and have no skin. Since being a skinless thing with the word "knuckle" in its name is incredibly hardcore, Kevin was already thinking about #punk aesthetic and brass #knuckles and such when further research demonstrated that the origins of this legend came from Viking-occupied Scottish Islands. Kevin's trial #sketches took shape and we have a red-skinned, skull-tattoo'd, leather-wearing, UK punk rock pony-man with a Billy Idol pop-punk flair.
All of these cards are made for our awesome strategy card game, Pocket Rivals! It’s for 2 players 8 and up, taught in a few minutes, and finishes in a half hour. It’s if your favorite card game and chess had a game baby!

POCKET RIVALS CHAMPION RUSTY NAILS
~ #Kickstarter Coming Soon~
Make sure you position Rusty Nails on a high ridge. When he's still, he's a #deadeye for a #bullseye. No #range is too far for this #cycloptic #sniper. A real #metal marksman, nobody messes with him more than once. If you face off against #robots, be on the lookout for the long-armed lawman, the ol' lead-shot deadshot, #Rusty #Nails.
@kevinbolk loves a good #western flick. Did I say loves? I don't think you understand. If Clint Eastwood and John Wayne pulled up in a conestoga #wagon and said, "Get in," Kevin'd be sitting between them before you could say, "Stagecoach." Rusty Nails here is a #play on the Clint Eastwood film, "The Outlaw Josey Wales." This was also one of Kevin's first #robot #designs for the Pocket Rivals #project.
