Yenny is the primary comic character being offered by Ozzy Studio & MTJ Publishing at this time. Based upon initial public response to both Sonya & Yenny, Yenny was the clear winner. Combine that with the fact the Yenny has a fan base of over 1400 members we naturally decided to support "Yenny" first. Over the last few weeks Ozzy and I have discussed a weekly Sonja comic but these things take time so you need to be patient. Ozzy is only one man and it takes many hours to produce the material you are often treated to for FREE.
I find it very rude for the two of you to post to this thread that is showcasing our efforts with our new "Yenny Weekly comic and complain about the lack of Sonja. What makes matters worst is that you show absolutely no appreciation for the 5 page, color comic that was provided for FREE. Ozzy puts allot of time and effort into his work. A few words of appreciation added to your request would make a world of difference.
Please feel free to contact Ozzy Studio or MTJ Publishing if you would be willing to purchase a Sonya Weekly comic. Let us know. We can't beat Yenny fans off with a stick.

How to get a Sonja-comic book!
The problem we have here is pretty simple, really. The conflict that arises is based on a clear principle - Supply and Demand.
Demand is not the demand for free material to pop up, but, as in any business (and MTJPublications is a business), it is the actual sales-numbers. The supply that can be offered is, of course, tied tightly to the profits that the company can make. A few things seem to be floating in peoples minds -
1. Ozzy has too much time on his hands and an obligation to supply the community with free material.
This is, of course, a weird way of looking at it. Ozzy is, actually, a great artist, who could charge much, much more for his work than he actually does, since it stays a work of love, for the most part. But he's got to eat too! And look at the quality of his works. That takes time and dedication. It's a professional achievement. And as long as he barely manages to justify all that effort put into producing these comics... Well, he won't be inclined to do even MORE work.
Conclusion - buy Yenny-stuff to support your favorite artist and show him that you love his work, and that you'd be willing to buy more. Like, Sonja-stuff. Once the sales show that kind of appreciation, I'm sure that a Sonja-publication will be only a matter of time.
2. MTJPublishing is raking in tons of money, because the prices are too high.
Hmm. This community is not, shall we say, mainstream. There ain't that many ticklers in the world. And only a small, small fraction of them buys tickling-related material. And printing a professional magazine, or comic-book, costs money. Especially in small numbers. Don't believe it? Go to your local printer and ask them what they would demand for such a job. You'll be surprised. So as long as there's small numbers of sales, there's simply NO WAY that MTJPublishing can afford another endeavor, like a Sonja comic-book. Yes, afford. This is not a multi-national corporation we're talking about here. It's a small company, also the work of love for the community, that strives to give us what we want to see. They can't afford to throw out new material left and right, because, you see, artists and writers want to be paid, too - I should now, as an author. And the printing, as I already said, is expensive. Especially if many of the printed copies collect dust on the shelves because no-one wants to buy them. You want more material? Support the producers, it's that easy.
Conclusion - Buy MTJPublishing material to build up some fundings, which can be invested into new projects.
3. There's not enough free material.
Yeah. There never is. You know why? Because, after a while, people get fed up with investing tons of work into producing free stuff, only to earn nothing but a small pat on the shoulder. And often times, not even that. I know the feeling of getting no feedback on my work intimately. Imagine how it feels to work on something, give it away, and then not even getting praise or thanks, but non-constructive criticism and a DEMAND, of all things, for more. That's not very uplifting. Show support! If the commercial product sells, there's so much more motivation for the artists to produce more, share-ware material.
Conclusion - Support ANY producer who's product you like by BUYING their product. Otherwise, it won't stay available.
Okay, so much for now. I apologize for sounding so harsh, but I, for one, want MORE material as well. I don't want to see MTJPublishing go out of business. Neither do I want Ozzy to feel harrassed by requests who say basically that he should invest more energy for nothing. I want us all to be happy, and productive, and supportive.
Help out today and buy what you want to stay on the market, invest in the future! Thank you in advance.

Let me quote something from my last response....
"A few words of appreciation added to your request would make a world of difference."
It's like ripping through your Christmas presents and then asking "What else did you get me" it's rude and impolite. Just try to show some appreciation for the free material provided before you start making additional requests. I don't think it is asking too much in return.
While I'm on the subject. .. "Sonya" makes a special guest appearance in the "Yenny Comic". This was done with the "Sonja" fan in mind. The comic in this post has both foot and upperbody tickling in it. This was done to appease fans on both sides of the fence. We do take notice to requests from fans.
Sonya appears in several issues of Tales from the Asylum" magazine. I even offered specially priced bundles of all the issues that contained "Sonya's Adventures" for Sonya fans a while back.
Have either of you supported any of the products that featured "Sonya" with a purchase?
I can tell you that most {not all} vocal requests for materials come from people that don't support our commercial endeavors. I fully understand the many reasons people have for not doing so and that is why we provide as much FREE material as we do for the communities enjoyment.
As Marauder pointed out in his post. MTJ Publishing is not a huge corporation. We are a very small operation that sinks 90% of it's infinitesimal yearly profit right back into it's products and the community.

All of this is done at our own expense and for the good of the community. Trust me we could still sell our product with a third of the expense. We do it because all of us here at MTJ Publishing are true connoisseurs of the genre. Our growth would only mean more great stuff for the community to enjoy. The last two years of our existence is proof of this.
So if you can't support us with a purchase every now and again. Perhaps you could just take the time to express a few words of appreciation before you rip out your Christmas wish list.

Ok...Ok...
I gotta say something here. I'm Sonja's #1 fan, I've even got her tattoed on my arm.
BUT...
Ozzy has done us all a great service with not only the Yenny comic but this new E-Comic as well. I know for a fact that the art and stories don't just draw and write themselves. Yenny is probably the cutest thing in the world, and most likely the new Poster Girl for the community.
I'm not here to flame anyone, but let's give appreciation where it's due. Ozzy and MTJ Publishing have gone out on a limb to bring us, the tickling community, the best entertainment around. Some of you guys should have been around pre-internet when you'd sell your soul for any tickling material.
(By the way...that wasn't in a harsh tone, like it may have came across. Just kinda matter-of-fact is all.)
Thanks Ozzy and MTJ Publishing.
Oh, and MTJ?
If you think Marauder and I are getting out of hand now...Wait until you see our new story.....

Let me make something clear...
I do not want to rake Ravis60 & striptickle over the coals. They did not commit any horrible crime. Most of what I had to say applies to the community in general and not them specifically. I apologize if you seemed the focus of my attention.
What I am really trying to get across is this...
Everything from the pictures, clips, art, stories, etc... that the community members post, to the TMF itself is often times taken for granted. We must try to remember that there are people behind these contributions. These contributors invest time, effort, imagination, and sometimes funds to deliver the goods. Please try to thank these people for the FREE entertainment they provide especially if you plan on making special requests of them.

Don't talk to me about supply and demand, Marauder! Argh! I hate economics! You can count me in this e-comic MTJ, if I can get me a job first.

Topin
Morandilas-
OK, I've got the fire extinguisher handy. I'm ready for your response. Just wondering...
I realize that Swindows had to leave to devote time to his day job, but I miss Topin. Is a "Collected Topin in Training" from all of the TFTA back issues an economic possibility, or is the fan base too small to make it pay for itself?
The Yenny toons are great! Spaseba* for the freebie.

* - For the linguistically challenged, "spaseba" is Muchas Gracias in Russian.

I'd be willing to cut a deal to anyone interested in collecting all the issues of TFTA with "Topin" featured. However we are not interested in publishing a seperate collection.
Contact me at [email protected] if you are interested in purchasing issues of TFTA that feature "Topin".

Well I'm convinced...
Ten dollars a month!?!?! That's it? That's all it costs? Even I can afford that!
*Eagerly awaits regaining lost debit card to allow for purchase*

Thanx for the free pics
First of all.
Ozzie, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your work. Your material is the best I've ever seen. Just wanted to say thanx.
Secondly.
I realize that these things cost money. I am subscribed to TFTA Magazine, Yennie's Comic, and the weekly E-Comic, SO DONT TELL ME ABOUT ECONOMICS, IM DOING ALL I CAN!!! I work two jobs, and I go to college 5 hours a day. I am doing everything I can, just short of sending free money, which trust me, I dont have ANY to spare.
I have enjoyed Yenny's comics, PLEASE KEEP 'EM COMIN!!!
P.S.
If I pissed any one off, I'm sorry, I have had a bad day. I worked at both jobs and failed a big test (47%) so forgive me...
