Hey there!

As mentioned in the other post, this episode wasn't just fun to put together, it was an awesome experience. Getting to work with a real-live photographer (kylecassidy) and being in the company of the real-live actress trillian_stars and real-live archaeologist whafford was very, very cool.

And whafford was even good enough to post a "behind the scenes" entry over at his LJ so be sure to check it out and leave a note!

Plus, since we absolutely loved Kyle's work and there were several commenters who also enjoyed them, we've put some wallpaper sized pictures in our LJ gallery if you want to take a look over there.

If there are any other pictures from the episode that you'd like to see at their largest size, or have for a desktop, let us know and we'll put it up.

See you next episode! And thanks for reading.

Abe & Kroenen Noir: The Jensen File

2009-10-31T16:18:47Z

Hey everyone!

Way way back in August, we were lucky enough to have the chance to work with Kyle freakin' Cassidy (kylecassidy), an amazing and accomplished photographer, plus an accomplished 'cool dude'. He suggested a Noir-themed episode of A&K and we excitedly rose to the challenge.

He asked us, when we had finished with photo time on August 10th, when this episode would see the light of day. "October?" he suggested. I personally scoffed at him and Rebecca was quick to join me in doing so.

"Pff, maybe two weeks?" she said with the confidence of someone who had previously spent hours digitally painting pseudo-Hellboy yellow for several episodes. This was just black and white!

I, knowing that I can be what you call 'meticulous' or, hey, 'self-loathingly precise' about the writing of this comic, added "Latest, maybe, September, first week, because the writing has to be extra awesome. But that's at the absolute latest."

...

So anyway, Happy Halloween! And without further ado, Abe & Kroenen Noir.

Kim & Rebecca

Behind-the-scenes post in a few days. And thanks again and again and again to kylecassidy for being so awesome. And, as it happens, today is also Kyle's birthday! Happy birthday to you!

Episode One Hundred and Twenty-One: "Fall for You"

Thank you all for being so patient!

Of course, not only was Rebecca’s computer stolen, but the month of September also means a return to school and a reshuffling of schedules which naturally delayed things a bit longer than we'd initially thought. We’d really like to thank you all for sticking it out with us last month, and for all of the kinds words and well-wishes you gave in regards to the laptop situation.

We should have a new episode of Abe and Kroenen up this weekend! We promise! But, until then, take a look at some exciting artwork and other Abe and Kroenen inspired bits:

First, from http://kabyaroy.deviantart.com/

And, from ladyscale

And, this hilarious Fanservice Meme that is awesome.

Check out Ladyscale's Deviantart for a few more! http://ladyscale.deviantart.com/

If you've given us something and haven't seen it mentioned in a news post, please leave a comment and let us know. With the computer 'issue' that Rebecca has had in the past few weeks, things might have been accidentally forgotten!

Thanks again!

Kim & Rebecca

ROBBED!

2009-09-10T17:20:08Z

Hey everyone!

I'm pleased to say that we had an awesome time at Fan Expo in Toronto, met a lot of really cool people and did some really neat-o stuff! And the San Diego Comic Con in July was rad!

I am considerably less pleased to say that, when Rebecca returned to the city, she found out she had been robbed. Her laptop and tablet were stolen and since Rebecca generally handles the computer-y side of things for A&K (lettering) we've lost a bunch of stuff, including work done on the next episode. So I figured I would post this here to say:

A) We're on a mini-break while Rebecca gets sorted out computer-wise
B) Stealing laptops is bad form
C) We'll try to put out a news post in the meantime

Oh! And also, we got a few comments and e-mails about the fact that some of our pictures weren't working in a bunch of the older episodes. I think we've managed to get them back up, so hopefully there won't be any problems and you can read back without missing any of the RAW EXCITEMENT AND ADVENTURE!

Take care!

Kim

p.s. If you sent us anything that hasn't been posted in a previous news post, we'd love to put it in. We do keep a folder of all the neat-o stuff we get, but sometimes we miss a couple things in the comments. We'll try to include everything, but feel free to give us a nudge here!

Episode One Hundred and Twenty: "I Believe in Arthur Dent"

Episode One Hundred and Nineteen: "The House that Karl Built"

2009-08-14T14:13:05Z

We're back from SDCC, Vegas, and some other neat-o stuff and...really pretty late on this. But stay tuned, because we've got news and newsposts on their way. For now, here's...

2009-07-22T04:06:15Z

From Preview Night on Wednesday to the 22nd to Sunday the 26th, we will be escorting Abe and Kroenen around the San Diego Comic Con.

As professional geeks, we'll also be in costume, so you'll be looking for Catwoman (Kim) and Sally Jupiter (Rebecca)...or just the two girls excitedly clutching the A&K action figures.

Are you going to SDCC? Because if you are, then you should totally comment here or contact us at Abe.Kroenen at gmail dot com and let us know for the purposes of high-fiving and/or Con meet-ups.

Hope to see you there!

Episode One Hundred and Eighteen: "Ra Ra Rasputin"

2009-07-16T12:53:54Z

Episode One Hundred and Seventeen: "The Blame Game"

2009-07-06T13:19:14Z

Help for this episode came from lovely and talented K.L. Hennegan!

Happy (belated) Canada Day! And Happy Birthday Us!

2009-07-03T12:39:46Z

Seeing as Abe and Kroenen's birthday is only a day away from Canada Day, I (Rebecca) thought I'd bring them along for the celebrations in Canada's capital city! They had an excellent time, soaking in the excellent weather, and partaking in other festivities with thousands of other Canadians on Parliment Hill.

This was part of a family vacation, from which I'll be returning Saturday, so expect the next episode very soon!

-Rebecca

And now, both of us would like to thank everybody here for being so awesome and sticking with us for FOUR RIDICULOUS YEARS of this absurd little comic, because that's as amazing as it is weird. We really appreciate every person who reads, every single comment we get and every person you introduce to the comic and the fact that both Del Toro and Mignola have been awesome and great to us(and not litigious). It's super cool that all you guys have given us the opportunity to entertain you by making toys kiss and that you've been offering us your time, your words and your art. Similarly, Parker and the folks at DelToroFilms.com have been just as groovy and we're featured on the front page, now, which is really great and has been very helpful.

Also, welcome back, Rasputin! We missed your charm, your face and your broken arm that DOESN'T MOVE PROPERLY AND KEEPS POPPING OUT OF THE SOCKET UGH. We wouldn't replace you for anything except another figure of yourself.

Finally, welcome to the new readers! Enjoy the archives! There's like, 1500+ pages in there, so bring a flashlight.

Thanks for reading, everybody! More news to come after the next episode.

Kim & Rebecca

P.S. You might notice that we finally have a new layout, but you might not realize that we can now be found at http://www.abeandkroenen.com, which is easier to scream at your friends.

It's a News Post!

2009-02-05T03:30:37Z

Hey there!

1) First order of business in this News Post is that we're heading to New York tomorrow morning for the New York Comic Con! If you're going to be there, let us know! Send us an e-mail at Abe.Kroenen at gmail dot com and there will be much rejoicing-slash-geekery.

2) Since the spotlight and before, we've been getting a lot of awesome fan work and we do keep it all, but our organization skills are...

something...that we're...working on.

So please if you've got anything we should remember that we can put up here for the next news post (we've got art, paper dolls and icons!), please let us know here! Thanks a lot! And we promise we'll keep better records in the future.

3) Finally, a couple people have asked for icons along the way, or asked to snag some of our old ones, so Rebecca's gone ahead and made fifty (50!) that you can feel free to grab (extra love if you credit abe_kroenen).

:) Hope you like 'em!
