Missing pages

CPSoirée v 94 s12-16-2014

While I was preparing a totally different editorial, I accidentally came across three pages of one of the larger comics, Soiree, which appeared not to be published on the site. We've remedied that on the site: it concerns the pages 094 to 096, right near the end. None of them are really essential to the story, but they give a nice little follow up to two of the foregoing scenes.
However, this also must be put right with regard to the third Soiree E-book. Although this will take a little time, it will be done, and all of you who have purchased that title will have the opportunity to download it again, for free, in its completed form, shortly. In this light though, it occurred to me how much more easy these things CAN be remedied these days: instead of calling back loads of printed material, or snail mailing numerous pages, this can all be solved now relatively simple, behind the computer. These are indeed wondrous times! We'll let you know as soon as the books are ready, and if you can't wait: check out The Missing Pages on the site!

Maintenance

CPStraight small c12-11-2014
Welcome! This time, when you go to the New Art pages, under New, you may think:'What happened to the third page, where are all these drawings?' No need to worry: from time to time, we think a little maintenance is in order, and as part of that we move some drawings from New to their respective categories, like Color, or BBB. After all, they can only be 'new'for so long, and we strive to keep the New Art section two pages long. But again, no worries: at Cocoproductions, nothing gets lost (fingers crossed).
By the way, speaking of New: there is a new Short Story, and a new piece in New Art, we hope you'll enjoy them. Until next time!

Early memories

Upside downCP11-26-2014
Hello, I was planning on talking a bit more about bondage in main stream comics, super hero comics in special. But then, when I was just musing about it, I was all of a sudden struck by something more specific, more personal also.
One step back though, first. Yes there is a lot of bondage to be found in super hero comics, sometimes sloppy and uninteresting, more often somewhat elaborate, because you can't tie most super heroes down with simple rope: you have to have special equipment to neutralize their powers too. Sadly, that doesn't guarantee more interesting bondage per see, just bigger manacles, more tubing etc. Every once in a while you come across a real gem, like this one from Ed Benes. comics-bd-luthor

But more often, it stays simple and not all that interesting, and I find myself reading all these wonderful comics, thoroughly enjoying them, but shaking my head, looking at all the missed opportunities.
While looking through some of my own stacks, I came across some really old ones, and then it hit me. I saw a page with a slight bondage theme in it, and it brought me back, back a whole lot of years.
