Dear Amazon fan,

This is the weekly moment where I normally announce a new comic. I have one ready, but publishing it doesn't feel good right now. Maybe I'll publish it tomorrow. For now, I'd like you to just read this message. It's important.

I appreciate everyone buying my comics. Some of you, however, are sharing and exchanging them online. You may think it's no big deal to exchange comics with some other readers. But comics that appear in public on the web, are found by others, who post them on download sites, where they are downloaded literally thousands of times. That's just the result of one person sharing one comic. I am not exaggerating.

I was going to work on a comic I love, this morning. Instead, I had to waste a lot of time contacting sites, writing to pirating customers, drafting and sending takedown notices, consulting other people, etc.

I don't need to tell you I'm not Marvel or DC comics. I'm a one man business. I have bought a house with my girlfriend and taken a loan from the bank, counting on a steady income from my webshop. I don't believe you want to have any part in destroying that.

I would prefer to keep creating comics for a long time. If my business is destroyed, or if I get disgusted with this job for other reasons, then I'll have to go back to my previous full time paid job, and there won't be many comics coming out.

I understand not everyone can afford the comics and some people are in rich countries and some are in poor countries. I can't do much about that except for giving discounts, like offering everything at half price on Black Friday.

Please, do not share my comics, not with anyone. It is very damaging to me, my family, my creativity, and to future comics, when you do so.

Thanks for reading, and understanding.

James.

Hi amazon fans!

It's been a very weird year, and I hope it's still been okay for you. I hope that you have not lost loved ones, or your job, or your hope. I hope that the comics me and the other Amazonias artists have produced, have brought you some joy and excitement. I'm finishing the year by giving you an overview of some things to come in the last blogpost of 2021.

Have a virus-free 2021!

Big Sister Christmas Special is a new free comic that appears here on DeviantArt only, for watchers only. I'll be adding a couple of pics every day or other day until Christmas. Enjoy!

I often hear from readers: I love your comics, but it's a pity that the women in your stories don't really exist. Well, some come pretty damn close. Anna Khudayarov is one of them. She may not be as tall as the girls in my female muscle comics, but she's probably stronger than a lot of them, her muscles can compete with some of my big girls, and she has the same dominant personality, as you will read in this interview...
