Cookie at the Cathedral by Mia Renae Carrales, 2019. :)
At long last, Issue #10 of The Improbable Girl and The Wonder Kitty Comic is here. YES, "Lost on the Trapped Planet, Part I" is has come to fruition. This is an excellent collaboration between yours truly and my good friends Ryan Howatt (who has allowed my Mailroom/Airmen/Superheroes to go transiting across the world of Badger, his flagship character) and Trish Ellis of Trish Ellis Art provides the stunning cover. Me thinks we will be seeing more and more of Trish. ;) Also, the New People's Journal provides us with an interview with UFO, United Fanzine Organization, chairman, Steve Keeter. 'Tis a great day indeed!

It's here! The Improbable Girl and The Wonder Kitty Comic issue #9, The Druid Secret, Part III. Yup...yup....yup... I have really tried to make this to be more action-packed than ever before. Well....at least for this series. If you'd like a copy, send me a PM, or DM or whatever people call it, and we can make a deal.
Guess what! Issue #8 of The Improbable Girl and The Wonder Kitty Comic is in and will be going out tomorrow! This is Part II of "The Druid's Secret." Let me know if you would like a copy or if you would like to become a "subscriber." :)
Hello All, I got a cool thing in the mail on this hot day, a preview print issue of "Cat...to the Future" by Ken Bailey. This is Vol 2 No. 44 of "The Mighty ENERGYGIRL" and part of a two part crossover between Mari and Niko's daily adventures and the world of Ken Bailey's Federal Department of Super Humanics. Be advised it should be out within the next few months. Go yourself a favor and visit Ken's online store when it comes out and add both books to youe collection. :)
A big thank you to Small Press Guru and over all Publisher extraordinaire Jim Main who sent me this copy of " Sci Fi Shall Not Die" Vol. 2 Fall 2023. This is an excellent piece of Small Press gold and a feast for the eyes. I love the premise of having artist provide interpretations of Mid-20th Century science fiction films and other media by various artists. You will enjoy turning each page and identifying, with glee and nostalgic existentialism, the various properties. From War of the World (1953) to The Thing to Kronos! This was a "wow" book for me!
Malia Mayhem Issue 0 from Joe Soliz and Sarah of Childs' Play: Games & Geekery is OUT! Awesome! This is an excellent book for all ages about a young woman and her group of friends who travel a d traverse the world's of Table Top Gaming and all that entails. It's like a cross between "Sliders" and our childhood wishes and dreams. It promises to be a fun adventure that I am looking forward to see. Thus, Malia Mayhem is "Wonder Kitty Approved!"
Today! The latest issue of the "Improbable Girl and The Wonder Kitty" THE DRUID'S SECRET, PART I is here and going out today. It looks fierce awesome! Cover by Don Simpson, and let me just say...WOW!
Presenting the "Improbably Wonderful" Summer Art Challenge Week 4 prompt: Uniforms! FROM CARRALES STUDIOS PRODUCTIONS!
From the suits worn by "The Fantastic Four" to the very mortifying "Red Shirts" of Star Fleet, there is something to be said for a smart looking uniform and kit! Yes, Mari and Niko had to take on the uniform of their nation when they took their powers....so, Diana Prince did it first, it's a thing.
To those who have served...thank you for your service.
By the way, the uniform in the video is my Civil Air Patrol USAF style service coat, Mica is wearing one of my old flight jackets and my old service cap with "farts and darts" as I hold the Rank of Major in the US Air Force Auxiliary.
By the way, a good number of you out there where "Air cadets." Shout out if you were. I did not serve in the Air Force, but have enjoyed my service in its Auxiliary for over 20 years.
You can go "all out and all in" if you want. Elaborate Animie/Manga syles Uniforms, World War stuff, outer space fleet kits or whatever.
Hey, I got a good idea for you late-comers? Make a "one stop shop," a villian holding a cat being interviewed in uniform?! Lol. If people do take that as inspiration it will be a hoot to see who the subject if the piece is.
If you haven't done Week 1, 2 or, there is still time! Week 1 was "Kitty," Week 2 was "Journalism," and Week 3 was "Villians."
Presenting the "Improbably Wonderful" Summer Art Challenge Week 3 prompt: Villians! FROM CARRALES STUDIOS PRODUCTIONS!
YES, what would your Heroes do if they had no antagonists or right out Villians to break the monotony of the daily grind? This week, please, take a walk on the darker side.
Be as Dastardly or Whimsical as you chose? Make a group photo of your "rogues gallery" or, if you have no recurring villian....create one!
If you haven't done Week 1 or 2, there is still time! Week 1 was "Kitty" and Week 2 was "Journalism."
So, to quote Headly Lamar, quoting an old American Standard... "Go do that Voodoo that You do So well!"
HELLO FOLKS! It be time for Week 2 of "The Improbably Wonderful," summer art Challenge. As some of you may have guessed, each week in June, my daughter Micaela and I are presenting a prompts for a little summer art exercise. These prompts usually have something to do with my comic book "The Improbable Girl and The Wonder Kitty," but are not limited to it. This means you can go and get yourself into any interpretation of the prompt word you wish.
For the Second Week of June 2023 the prompt word is...
JOURNALISM
This can entail anything which deals with the world of newspapers, magazines, radio, television or internet news. Mari and Niko, my protagonists, long for a career as journalists...but, life's tricks play them into the mailroom of a local newspaper, "The Lion Gazette," where their strange luck sees them become superheroes.
The 1:10 minute video will give you more details.
All entries are welcomed, only those for relatively general audiences will be acceptable for further display...thus, the overly erotic, gruesome or otherwise questionable ones will go no further than your post.
To be considered, tag me in your posts and indicate it is "Improbably Wonder Week 2: Journalism." You have until Friday June 16th 2023 to conclude your work, on the Sunday following we will release Prompt 3.
I will make several posts compiling the entries and hope to have them in a album (once I figure out how to make that happen. Lol )

The first ROUND of mail outs for "The Improbable Girl and The Wonder Kitty" Issue #6, "The Heist: Part III" are already at the post and on their way. This concludes the CURRENT story arc, "The Hiest." The next round will be made up of my UFO brothers. (Editor's Note: I ran out of time packaging and, thus will have several "rounds" if mailings) Enjoy this video explaining it all in my most verbose way! :)
I had been waiting a long time to do this, then...it just happened! Kudos to Tom Fellrath and Larned Justin. This is from Fellrath's "Strange Time Two, Who are You!" I was drawing and it came on. Sadly, I didn't get it from the start.
Hot off the presses! Mari and Niko are framed for a crime they didn't committ and on the run from the scheming General Morelli! Who will help them? Can they be helped? Find out in Issue #5.... "The Heist: Part II" from Carrales Studios Productions!
How about another, albeit shorter, video of our Road Trip to North Texas. Here Mica and I visit Boomerang Comics. Give them a visit as it if you are in the area! Are there any Indie Friendly comicbook stores in youe area?
Greetings folks, just completed a road trip (Denton, Lewisville) and thought I try my hand at making a video. Not quite "Dollar Bin Bandits" bit I did do some Dollar Bin Diving. This will be a series of videos and post about some cool comic book Nooka in THIS part of North Texas.
Announcement: "Mari Solinski and The Wonder Kitty" Issue #3 "The Prisoner Agenda, Part II" has officially arrived. I have sent out the first wave to my "subscribers" and will have the next wave out next week. If you're interested in getting copies of my books, send me a PM and we can make "a deal." I accept trades, artwork for my "The New People's Journal" feature or we can strike up some arrangement. I am excited. Thank you all for your support.
