A word from the author

Hi everyone,

As the author of Catalina Kane and the Tournament of the Tiger, I just wanted to say a few words about what this project is all about. Tickling comics are wonderful things - we've seen such incredible offerings from MTJ and others over the years, showcasing wonderful art and creative and interesting writing. I've always been frustrated, though, by the necessary limitations of the genre. In order to avoid being cost-prohibitive, tickling comics have to be short and sweet, and packed with tickling on virtually every page. That's awesome, of course -- hard to fault too much tickling -- but it doesn't leave a lot of room for story and character development. The best creators, like Colin, FTKL himself, JR, etc., manage to put together fine stories in spite of these limitations, of course, but I wanted to try to do something more.

Catalina Kane is an experimental combination of a traditional e-novella with everything great about tickling comics: the colorfully rendered characters who come to life as rendered by an expert artist, the action, the visual storytelling with style and flair. At the same time, it's (I hope) a compelling, character-driven adventure story, a tongue-in-cheek romp, and an homage to great martial arts films like Enter the Dragon. I think it works.

FTKL and BZ Tickler have surpassed even my lofty expectations, so it's worth picking up for the art alone. I hope you dig the characters and story, as well. If you do, keep an eye on the Stories section of the TMF, as well as on my archive, in the weeks to come, as I have some short story "webisodes" planned to explore these characters and their world further, and, if the interest is there, to bridge the gap to an eventual sequel.

Thanks for reading!
Munchausen

Yet again, what a powerful combination or artists and writer!!!
I will be back for some words on this.

Well, I've just had the pleasure of sitting down and reading this piece, and what a pleasure it is! The gorgeous artwork and masterful storytelling combine to make this a rare treat!

Munchausen, the quality of the writing really shines through to make this a captivating read from beginning to end. The story is action-packed, going from one gripping scene to the next. The satisfying and unique plot is deftly interwoven with super-hot fighting and tickling scenes, a testament to excellent story structure. Plus, I love the interactions between the girls! Great work!

To FTKL and BZTickler, I'm just thrilled to see such a treasure chest of their work again. Every illustration has the amazing qualities that made VU such an unparalleled legend. The fight told in comic form was a particular treat! Every one of the girls was beautifully imagined and jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Here's hoping that we see more from you!

I have to ask, but is there any nudity in the art?

No nudity.

Having drawn/interpreted 2 of Munchausen's elaborate works, I know what to expect already given the prologue. It is the sizzling conflict that calls for more reading because of the humorous yet clever style of narration. You'll know if you are reading his stuff! Curiosity will start hounding you in the first page! And I like the ridiculous but logical flow of plot.

As far as I remember I enjoyed (a lot) drawing Munchausen's character-driven Ticklish Turnabout 1, with "Freckles" as the hero... He is a TK author who won’t disappoint you with written visual imagery to please your creative reading, and he has done well with tickling stories.

Now on to this...very interesting pool of athletic characters each with with generous unique traits and they are put into action for you.

-o0o-

What more can you ask for if it is FTKL? Speaks volumes of the legendary style. I was amazed by the stunts he has done for this publication. Hands down.

Indeed this is yet again a great combo treat.

Such kind words from such a talented creator, Bohemianne. And I think "ridiculous but logical" is the best description possible for this plot! Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for your review!

 

[ftkl_haha]

Well-said Bohemianne, and thank you! I'll be focusing more on videos this year, so in time, we may see something like this brought to life as a vid clip series. Ya never know ...

Hell, JD and I still have to do the trailer for "Feather Babes".

Great work, Munchausen,Ftkl_haha, Bz Tickler. Great detailed story,plot and art. The tickling parts were inventive. I could see a lot of time and imagination was put into this project. But when I was done reading, I felt something was missing; can't put my finger on it but that is how I felt.😎

 

[munchausen]

Thanks for the praise and honest criticism. If it helps, it's intended as the first in a series -- there are a lot of unanswered questions, but the plan is to explore them in future installments. Hope you'll be on board to see if we can fill in what's missing!
