Hanna Is Not A Boy's Name

Good To Get It Out Of The Way

UPDATE! 8.27.10

Hey guys~! I’m going to be here for a little while to manage the website portion of Hanna. Tessa has been busy working in the background on Hanna related business, and most importantly, putting up with me forcing her to REST. She’s been going at 120mph the whole con season and I really couldn’t stand seeing her trudge along at barely 25% anymore! She still wants to work on the comic, but managing the website is quite time-consuming and taxing, so I will be taking over that portion for a while so she can focus on recovering and being the comic genius that she is.

As your new site-manager person-thingy, I am sad to say that I will be disabling new comments on the front page. We both love the support and helpful comments she gets on each strip, but unfortunately this system forces her to trudge through HUNDREDS of spam comments daily in order to keep the page clean. This is my first effort to make her job more manageable so she can focus more on the story and artwork of Hanna. SO, this doesn’t mean we don’t want to hear from you! I encourage anyone to join us in the Forum (if you haven’t already!) to discuss the newest comics. It’s just as efficient, and it’s much harder for bots to spam it.

See you guys soon!
Sarah

NOTE: Please direct all questions about purchases to Tessa’s publisher, 4DE! Thanks!

In Which Tessa Possibly Manages To Say Something Meaningful In Thanks

Warning: This post is probably unnecessarily long, rambling and sappy so feel free to skip this one over. /endwarning

Okay, I generally don’t use internet journals to talk about the stress I’m dealing with my life, because I have this thing where I feel like no one really needs to be burdened with my random ‘oh nooo so stressed’ garbage going on. But this actually has a bit to do with HiNaBN so here it is. This is my confession to you. I was worried writing it before, because I was afraid that it would always come off grossly unappreciative or self depreciating so hopefully this manages to be more conversational than that.

I love Hanna. It has turned into something bigger than I could ever imagine and it’s amazing. I get blown away every time I open up the browser and I realize how many comments are left on the pages, how many people are drawing fanart, doing fanfiction, roleplaying the characters, and just investing their wonderful, valuable time thinking about Hanna Is Not A Boy’s Name. I’m touched every time I go to a convention and it is the most surreal feeling in the world when I see lines of people coming up to talk to me, to dress up as the characters, people telling me they look forward to it every day and just the wonderful people I’ve met THROUGH the comic itself.

Personally? I don’t understand really what it is about this comic that everybody loves. Sure, I love doing it, and I put myself into it entirely but I see it and I think it is goofy, horribly lame and I feel like I’ve got SO much to learn because whoa was that last page hideous or jeez was that dialog clunky or what the heck was I thinking when I did such and such. Before I go further, I also want to establish that this is not me fishing for compliments, but rather an explanation into my mind for the past few months. I’m not saying that Hanna is trash ewww why do you guys like it, I’m just saying I am not framing it and putting it on my wall like the next damn Van Gogh. The sense of pride I get out of doing the comic are from the lessons I’ve learned, and not necessarily the visible product itself (if that makes sense?). Anywhoo, moving on!

Hanna Is Not A Boy’s Name was originally an experiment in the comic medium itself only, but the experiment has gone beyond that. It is my first time continuing something with the mind of finishing it, it is my first time doing something with a publisher, it is my first time investing my every day into an idea, as well as my first time really growing with each character so fully that the comic itself is just really truly about the characters and each other. Hanna is so many of my FIRSTS that it’s amazing that it hasn’t sunk to the bottom of the hypothetical creative ocean. I’m so grateful, because I feel so damn lucky that it hasn’t.

On top of it all, I am an emotionally unstable person. I don’t mean this to be an excuse or self depreciating, but rather state it in a self aware way. I dip in and out of people’s lives not because I do not like people but rather, because I am terrified of wronging them and my own view of myself is so shaky and so …. unsure that every social outing is a stressball waiting to explode. I’m self conscious and nervous, and I have been fighting through so much ongoing self improvement and random ass issues created by my own mind that a simple dinner I have with people I only sort-of know knocks me off my feet because HOLY SHIT that was hard. For me.

But I love people. That’s the thing — Hanna, all my comics really, are all studies in people. But I’m bad at interacting with them. It’s almost why my isolation makes the writing easier. I’m so like engrossed in my own mental goings on that it feels so real and then I put it in a comic and that’s what you see. Forgive me for rambling, haha, this is actually really embarrassing to write (but amazingly making me feel a bit better).

Continuing onto that, con season has been incredibly hard for me. I don’t want this (at any point) to feel like I do not like meeting you, or talking to new people, or just not enjoying cons at all, but rather explain my lame ass thought process. It is like….when you love running and you love it like crazy but you’re pretty shitty at it and you ran a marathon but you had to do it at your own pace and it took twenty years and after you were done you felt like hibernating for another twenty because whhoaaaaa.

That’s kind of like that. Essentially, sort of, only minus the running cos then I’d be in better shape. Anyways.

I am so grateful to you guys every day all the time that I always fear I come off too sappy in my posts, that I say it too often, and then alternatively I worry I don’t say it enough or show it enough. I always feel like I’m somehow ripping you all off — that whenever I miss something or don’t get something done earlier it is like a personal failure. Essentially, I am battling the weirdest battle of all. I am having to fight my own passion and tell it to calm the hell down a smidge.

I love the comic SO MUCH right now it is almost self destructive. When it was just this fun thing I did it was a completely different mental battle. Oh that page sucked? Its okay, tomorrow’s another day! I could take a jaunty step forward and everything would move on and my own negativity forgotten. Now I screw up on a page or something and my mind stumbles, thumbing through all the ways I wish I had done something better and how oh god, I am messing everything up. I am clinging to every mistake I make (every, not just in the comic) and obsessing over it like thinking about it for a million hours is going to make the mistake undo itself. Which, we all know doesn’t happen.

Hanna (the character and comic itself) was supposed to teach me to be able to move on, a lesson in the purest form of ‘tomorrow is a new day’ and oddly enough I’m so attached to it now that I am not even listening to myself and all I’m doing is thinking about yesterday. I’m dwelling, I’m sinking in my own self doubt, I’m screwing my own self over. These past few weeks (I guess while also being sick helped? Hooray?) I had some sort of epiphany, realizing what it was that was making doing what I was doing so hard. It’s like if Hanna (the comic, not the dude…although that would be pretty funny) was my casual friend before and now I was making love to it and marrying it and stalking it to work and taking pictures of it when it though I was at home baking an apple pie.

Creepy of me, yes.

So essentially, this huge long rambling ass mess of a journal is just sort of an explanation to you. Why does Hanna take so long to update these days? This is probably why. Am I going to stop doing it? Hell no. Am I finally going to figure my shit out?

Of course. That’s what the whole experience is all about, even if it takes forever. I don’t see this as just this thing I do every once in a while, I have grown so much in a YEAR from this damn thing I’ll be damned if I stop now.

All in all, abridged version means thank you for everything even if I never reply or never get a chance to fave your awesome creativity, or say hi or get to be personally grateful to you. I am working hard to figure out how to use this experimental comic I started to grow in art, story, and character, and for the journey and experience through the comic to be worthwhile not only to myself, but hopefully (just maybe) to any of you who happen to read it at any time and enjoy it. Because in the end, we all float on okay.

I worked really hard to make sure I didn’t make a typo and leave the ‘L’ out of “clocks” guys, because wooooo, would’ve that been a tragic (but probably hilarious) error.

That’s all I got today, guys! Enjoy the strip! You know I love you like BURNING. Per usual. See I baked you this batch of internet cookies to show my affection! Everybody, dig in. Imaginary tea parties are the best.

Oh yeah, so this ticking thing? REALLY ANNOYING TO DRAW.

I Plan To Investigate

rocketessla — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 16:57:30 +0000

Hey guys! Thanks for waiting so long! I really plan to make up for my inactivity on strips over the past several months over the con seasons — after Dragon*Con I will have all fall and winter to catch up and that’s exactly what I plan to do! I have big ideas for it so … here’s hoping it comes to fruition! I can’t say enough how much I love you guys and how you support me through the comic, the business endeavors, the conventions, the everything. So rock on!

I’m beginning to feel almost up to snuff, so hopefully I can start providing some Hanna goodies your way! Until the, enjoy the new strip! I’m not totally happy with it but I’ve decided to cut my losses and just keep pushing forward.

Also, if you’re going to Dragon*Con I hope to see you there, Sep 3rd-6th! Exciting!!

Impossible To Argue

rocketessla — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 03:14:44 +0000

So on the last day of Comic Con I had a sore throat, and was like UGH, this sucks! I got back, rested for like, two days and left for Baltimore.

I fought through it through the next several days (and don’t get me wrong, Otakon was a BLAST) but it was also very very exhausting and I’m now even sicker than ever. As much as I really want to finish the next pages of the strip and keep plowing forward, I’m going to (with the better judgment of my friends and family) actually NOT work for the next few days.

So unfortunately, a strip cannot be expected soon, but this is probably pretty good for me and recharge me 100%. I have a pretty bad habit of starting work up again before I’m all better and therefore wear myself out faster. Anyways, take care and I wanted to thank everyone for a great con season! I have one more to go, and YEAH you guys all rock.

I’ll do a proper report on SDCC and Otakon and cons in general when I get back, so STAY COOL. And if you’re in Texas I mean QUITE LITERALLY.

104, excuse me what??

<3

My site is totally being a jerkface. Ignore it if it asks you to install or download anything, I swear! It’s just being a moody thing.

I really like drawing weretoni she may stay like this for the rest of the strip forever, guys….

WHEW. So busy! I managed to get this done for you guys though, and it’s killing me I can’t work faster. I’m doing my best! SDCC was a blast, and Otakon is tomorrow. I will do my best to have some strips done while I’m in Baltimore, but no promises, seeing that SDCC kicked my ass time wise. I will make fists and fight with the greatest fury though!!

I am at table F13 (or F12)! I’m sharing space, so I will be at one of the two! I’m looking forward to it! Here’s the handy map!! So please come see me!

Also, I want to pass out a friendly reminder to you guys that purchasing the Hanna books is a PREORDER which means that it takes a while to get shipped. I realize it’s not super ideal, but here’s why. I personally sign and lovingly draw in all of them (that are ordered before the final date, which is the end of this month). Also, I’m not even in Sacramento, which is where 4DE is based, so it is even a longer process (unfortunately, agh! Hey I should move out to California, hahahahah). If this is a super big pain in the butt I totally understand, and you can purchase them normally via the 4th Dimension Entertainment website once the pre-order deal is over with, and it doesn’t have to go through the longer wait of being personally loved (by me).

I really appreciate your guys’ support though like EIGHT MILLION PERCENT!!! but I just wanted to let you guys know what’s going on with the books if there was any miscommunication to those of you who have ordered them. Shipping won’t even really start until the beginning of August. If you have any questions or concerns about the orders you’ve already made (or orders you are thinking of making) please don’t feel bashful! Hit up the 4DE team at their site or at their their devart! They are a great team and super nice and are very dedicated to making you happy. A happy you is a happy us! /insert jingle here!/

You know I love you guys like burning, so Tessout! See you in Baltimore!

Not Quite The Usual Archetype

Wow! So, SDCC was amazing. It also really wiped me out. I’m hopping a plane today to get back to my homeland (Texas) and probably loafing for the rest of the day to gear up so it won’t be till tomorrow or the day after till I get a strip up. I really intended to work while I was out here, but somehow despite not sleeping too terribly much I had absolutely no time to do anything for the strip!

But in the next few days there will be a page for you and once Otakon is over con season will be 95% over and I can really start recuperating. I really do aim to have a more consistent updating schedule, so I appreciate you guys putting up with me till then!

I’ll try to have a more comprehensive post about SDCC sometime, but essentially, thanks to everybody who dropped by or I met. Our neighbors were awesome, everybody was awesome, so thanks! Thanks for making my first SDCC experience freaking amazing.

On that note, see you in a few days! -Tessout!

Hey guys! Short post today but wanted to get the strip up!

The signing schedule is as follows:

11 AM – 1 PM – Tracy Butler

Forever In Your Debt

rocketessla — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 16:28:54 +0000

Another strip! Sorry for the long wait between this one and the last one! I had to shift a lot of the story around that was coming up because I had to make some BIG DECISIONS ™ about what worked best for the flow of the chapter and everything included. But I think it ended up being for the best, it just required a lot of HRM THINKING TIME ™ which of course always takes a while.

It’s unfortunate that you can’t have story related epiphanies on command.

Oh hey! SDCC is next week and I’m intimidated beyond belief. Why you ask? Because SDCC feels like it’s for the big boys, and I’m so overwhelmed! There’ll be so many great artists there I just won’t know what to do with myself! I actually am already trying to work up the nerve (have been for a week or so) to get the gumption to walk up to Doug TenNaple’s booth and ask him to sign Creature Tech and Iron West for me. His work is phenomenal and has been an inspiration for me for a while so it’d be absolutely FANFREAKINGTASTIC.

Chances are I’ll be too much of a coward.

Plus I’ll be sharing the 4DE booth with amazing artists like Tracy who does Lackadaisy Cats and DerShing who does The Meek. Both those comics just absolutely blow me away, it’s ridiculous. Hahaha.

Hrm. I have a few sketches and stuff to show you guys eventually when I get the time, but till then ROCK ONNNNN. You know I love you. <3

FINALLY book one is here!! I am happy to say it is now available where you do not have to race to get it, it is not in a horrendously limited supply, nor is it twenty dollars, AND it has a brand new cover! Jee golly Batman! Preordered books are a special deal and therefore will ALL come signed, and for a little bit extra [BUT ONLY THROUGH THE PREORDER PERIOD] they will be doodled in as well! Exciting!! So check it out!

Now remember – this IS a preorder. Books will be also available to purchase at the rest of the cons starting from San Diego Comic Con, but the books will ship at the end of this month, July 2010. Just to keep in mind!

CLICK THE POSTER OR HERE TO GO TO THE 4DE.COM STORE!

Also as a note: These are now a standard comic size! It’s unfortunate that the horizontal long books, while artsy and cute, were not practical, and the tall skinny books will be how they’re printed from now on! <3 The beginning of book one has quite a bit of formatting adjustments, but from now on out the books will be where two strips are stacked on top of each other to form one page, as well as at the end of book one! I’m sorry if this is supremely inconvenient for anybody, but I did my best to make sure the book still looked good! Hope you will still enjoy!

Also, as a reminder the limited time Worth and Lamont minicomic will be available up until July 18th, 2010!!

We all know that zombie would totally be better with the ladies than Hanna any day. Sorry Hanna, but you don’t really have your wits about you when it comes to women. Or…anything. Ever. Except maybe runes and paranormal creatures that go bump in the night.

Poor Toni, Hanna finds out you’re supernatural and you can never get rid of him ever again.

Don’t forget to pre-order the book!

I Have A Great Idea

rocketessla — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 01:44:58 +0000

EDIT! I actually wanted to talk about the format a teeny bit cos I understand the concern of it being taller instead of longer, like it used to be. I wish it could stay long and horizontal, but unfortunately it wasn’t very practical. Should the books be put into stores eventually, it’s hard to get places to take odd sized books. They were also small and fat, really expensive to make (which is why each base cost of the previous books were 20$ a pop) and over all just hard to have in print and make it work.

The way I tackled this is to ultimately stack two strips on top of each other to create a full page, which makes the books thinner. The beginning of Ch1 had to be formatted fairly heavily in order to work because I [at that point] was throwing caution to the wind as they say, and leaving myself tons of ‘artsy’ white space. I did my very best to make it work though, and I did put time into making sure the pages looked nice and didn’t just slap things together and call it a day. Somewhere in the middle of Ch1 and on, it becomes easy to stack and therefore will be how it works from there on out.

Ultimately — Hanna Is Not a Boy’s Name is a webcomic. I am always super surprised and flattered people want to pay for a physical copy for something that is free online, and it just brings me so much joy. However, it is all in all made FOR the web, not for print. The colors I use are generally out of the gamut of printing, and therefore end up duller and less saturated as they do on the web. The format may also have to change, and the weirder pages (like the ones where you had to scroll down) have to be cut up and rearranged. I try to make sure they are still nice to look at but the original experience will always be on the website, if that makes sense.

Hanna is made to be free and always available — the point of it is to share a story with anyone who is interested in partaking. The amount of support from you guys is phenomenal and you treat me so well by purchasing the physical copies. Because of that I did my best to retain its integrity in the new format and hopefully you’ll still enjoy it, even in its new standard comic size!

As for people who have the old books – I hope one day the indy prints done by me (the long horizontal ones) will be a collectors item, and those that have them do not regret having bought them originally. That was during a time when your support was extra helpful and lovely and I can never thank you enough for that. So…THANK YOU.

I hope that answers questions! Thanks again for everything guys, and naturally, you know you rock!

And we all know all of Hanna’s great ideas end in tears.

Haha! Well guys, I’m back from AX! SDCC is coming up in a few weeks and that’s SUPER exciting, and Otakon is right after!! I’ll have special exclusive buttons for both cons as well, so hi-fives all around.

And here’s even better news. FINALLY book one is here!! I am happy to say it is now available where you do not have to race to get it, it is not in a horrendously limited supply, nor is it twenty dollars, AND it has a brand new cover! Jee golly Batman!

A WARNING. Long post is very very long. In other news!! You can now buy the Hanna buttons!

These two are only available now up until the end of AX weekend, which is July 4th, 2010! They will also be available at the con themselves, but after that another exclusive will replace them! How exciting!

As usual for most things from 4DE, allow 10 business days for shipping! Also, if you have any questions about the merchandise please feel free to contact him at 4de.com website or at their devart account!

CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE 4DE.COM STORE! OR THE IMAGES OF THE BUTTONS THAT WORKS TOO.

We thank you for all your support, and it is your patience and your dedication to the comic and me that allows us to actually put out this merchandise! It’s very exciting, and aghh, you guys are so great. Thanks again so much! And EVEN MORE NEWS!

^^^ Basically what the banner says! EDIT: Sorry guys I misunderstood, cosplaying isn’t a pre-requesite! And just FYI the dinner isn’t actually ON Eric, hahahahaha. We’re not that rich. If you think you can go hit up Eric at RSVP@4de.com!

Hi-five everyone! AX is next week and even though I kind of have the trembles cos I am a bit shy in large groups, it’s going to be crazy fun. AM I RIGHT? I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and if you are there, please drop by and say hi! I will be floating between my own Artist Alley booth with my friends Kristen and Raife as well as sometimes materializing at the 4DE vendor booth.

And on top of that all, have some other things I’ve drawn lately. Have some Mr Hatch and Lee Falun being a sadsack, cos that’s what he’s best at.

Also, have some love for Alan Wake. Because yes, I love this game and Alan Wake. I am eagerly waiting for the next ‘episode’, and will probably buy anything to do with this guy cos he’s amazing. Thank you Remedy for making a game with a dark story that I could laugh my ass off at. Or with. Whichever. I loved it.

THIS PART OF THE SECTION HAS TO DO WITH THE WORTH AND LAMONT COMIC. OH HO HO.

Hahaha. In other news, I have sent out the young!Worth and young!Lamont incentive minicomic to those who have already paid for it and were waiting EVER so patiently. Which means that if you have NOT received it, please e-mail me at hanna@aftertorque.com and I will set you up with it as soon as I can over the next several days and on! Also, one extra thing to check is your junk folder for the e-mail because sometimes it gets classified as junk and doesn’t go through. If that is still fruitless, please bug and nag away!

Do not e-mail me at the other address. It is so overloaded with alerts for this site and god knows what else and SPAM at this point that finding a real true e-mail with something REAL to say (IE, from you guys) is pretty much like finding a needle in a haystack. Unless I get keywords from it it can take literally forever and tons of pages to flip through and careful reading. For that point really, I have stopped checking it. So!!

That’s the place to go!

Now, for those of you who are still interested in buying the Worth and Lamont minicomic it is now available at the 4DE site! IT IS GOING TO ONLY BE AVAILABLE FOR A LIMITED TIME. ONE MONTH. We also couldn’t quite have it to where you could enter exactly the amount you would like to pay for it, but it is in increments and you can CHOOSE which of those increments you would like to pay for it.

The increments are : $1, $5, $10, $15, $20, $25, $50 and $100! The system was also asking for shipping provided so it’s at a penny. We’re very sorry, but hopefully you won’t mind paying a total of $1.01 or $5.01, etc. WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH AND YOUR PENNY TOO. And we, of course, very much appreciate any and all purchases, and all of the support goes into the company and myself (it all comes back around, I promise!) but please! Do not feel pressured. Still think of it as throwing money into a tip jar for us, and you’re getting a handy little comic in return.

At the $50 and $100 level, Eric at 4DE has gone out of his way to make it an even sweeter deal. At those levels your name gets printed in the eventually upcoming Hanna Is Not a Boy’s Name artbook that is aimed for 2011! At level $100 you will automatically get the first issue signed and sketched in by yours truly, as well.

I hope you guys enjoy the comic though! If you have any questions about the downloads on the 4DE site, feel free to e-mail them or contact them on their DevArt as well!

At those levels your name gets printed in the eventually upcoming Hanna Is Not a Boy’s Name artbook that is aimed for 2011! At level $100 you will automatically get the first issue signed and sketched in by yours truly, as well.

I hope you guys enjoy the comic though! If you have any questions about the downloads on the 4DE site, feel free to e-mail them or contact them on their DevArt as well!

EDIT: Fixed my GRAMMAR YAY. Thank you, hahaha. /END EDIT

And another strip! Hanna is always having to defend his age, but the real question is why does he even bother.

But LOOK!!

Hahaha. In other news, I have sent out the young!Worth and young!Lamont incentive minicomic to those who have already paid for it and were waiting EVER so patiently. Which means that if you have NOT received it, please e-mail me at hanna@aftertorque.com and I will set you up with it as soon as I can over the next several days and on! Also, one extra thing to check is your junk folder for the e-mail because sometimes it gets classified as junk and doesn’t go through. If that is still fruitless, please bug and nag away!

Do not e-mail me at the other address. It is so overloaded with alerts for this site and god knows what else and SPAM at this point that finding a real true e-mail with something REAL to say (IE, from you guys) is pretty much like finding a needle in a haystack. Unless I get keywords from it it can take literally forever and tons of pages to flip through and careful reading. For that point really, I have stopped checking it. So!!

Again! >>>>>>> hanna@aftertorque.com <<<<<<<<

That’s the place to go!

Now, for those of you who are still interested in buying the Worth and Lamont minicomic it is now available at the 4DE site! IT IS GOING TO ONLY BE AVAILABLE FOR A LIMITED TIME. ONE MONTH. We also couldn’t quite have it to where you could enter exactly the amount you would like to pay for it, but it is in increments and you can CHOOSE which of those increments you would like to pay for it.

The increments are : $1, $5, $10, $15, $20, $25, $50 and $100! The system was also asking for shipping provided so it’s at a penny. We’re very sorry, but hopefully you won’t mind paying a total of $1.01 or $5.01, etc. WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH AND YOUR PENNY TOO. And we, of course, very much appreciate any and all purchases, and all of the support goes into the company and myself (it all comes back around, I promise!) but please! Do not feel pressured. Still think of it as throwing money into a tip jar for us, and you’re getting a handy little comic in return.
