We are still waiting on the full color edition of TBC to hit our doorsteps. The Midwest just experienced a full on mini blizzard which may have delayed our shipment with more snow on the way. BUT! As soon as copies arrive, pre-orders will be sent out almost immediately! Why "almost"? Well, we are going to schedule time to get ALL the contributors to sign those copies! Myke! Cathy! Anthony! And perhaps Schaumburg Harmony, the star of the book? (If he's not off saving the universe.) Plus Anthony is going to draw a special one of a kind unique different illustration in each book specifically for the pre-orders. No other copies will have these remarques and are exclusive only for pre-orders. Want one? Reserve a copy now before they are sold out on our website at The Teddy Bear Conspiracies! We are so excited to get these out to our fans to read!

"Why is the book not being released right away?" some may asked. The answer is we are waiting for America's Semiquincentennial. YES! The United States is celebrating it's 250th birthday in 2026 and what better time to celebrate than with a story about George Washington! That's right! The Teddy Bear Conspiracies is not only about aliens that look like teddy bears but it is also a story about The Sword of George Washington. What does George Washington's sword have to do with this Young Adult Pulp Novel? Well, grab a copy and find out the answer to that question. Here an except from the book:
Last in person event for 2025!
Join us for Yuletide Market hosted by The Painted Wraith in Downtown Bloomington, IL! 

Since 2022, The Painted Wraith has hosted the Krampus Market in Downtown Bloomington, IL. In 2024, the Mistletoe Market was created and held on the same day (outside) in Downtown Bloomington. This year, they are combining both events under one roof (inside), more vendors, a picture with Santa or Krampus (or both), and a new name...Yuletide Market! The ballroom at BCPA will be split in half with curtains...Santa & vendors on one side, Krampus & more vendors on the other. Attendees having the choice to visit one or both sides. Ink and Feathers is planing on being on the Santa side. BUT, that could change upon event day. Come on out for this unique event and hand with us! It will be our last event for 2025!

Blitz Howser is coming to a universe near you!
Missed our last campaign to help fund our young adult novel, The Teddy Bear Conspiracies? Plans are set to launch Blitz Howser: The Lost Strips in 2026 on Kickstarter!

Gordon Cabot's Blitz Howser: The Lost Strips
Sign up to be notified on Kickstarter.
Who or what is Blitz Howser? Bltiz Howser was created by Andy Hall as a sci-fi story for our out of print pulp anthology, Superlative Tales. In order to expand his cartooning chops, Anthony Feinman reached out to Andy to ask if he could do a web comic based on this wacky Buck Rogers / Zapp Brannigan type character. The result were 69 strips, t-shirts, and a new roster of characters for IF Comics lineup.

The new anniversary edition will be sized at 10" x 8" making it a landscape book. It will be double the sized of the original edition released in 2014 in not just look but page count. It's a children's book paperback in size and the art pops right off the pages with black and white strips and FULL COLOR Sunday strips. 
Example of re-coloring for updated edition. Top is original coloring (2012) verses updated (2025)
