Ha HA! I knew mama dragon would tip the fight. Gorslash can’t focus on just one thing. He has to control everything. and it always bites him in the butt. Or in this case; blasts him in the chest and a fall to the ground…
At the quote at the bottom right, I’m actually reminded of a V:tM campaign book about a group of Iconuu searching for Golconda. One of the tale boxes had a fable about a Man walking beside a Dragon leashed with but a thin gold chain. When a passerby asked the man about it and not something stronger, the man responded along the lines of, “If the Dragon goes wild, how would a steel chain serve me any better?”
Very true, and it rarely ends well for the holder as well. Gorslash may very well be shaked-n-baked before he knows it. And as far as his “boss” goes, he won’t enjoy facing him again.
It’s a bad time in my country.
I’m generally okay, and a lot better than those who are not CIS-gendered straight white men, but I always consider myself an ally to those that ain’t. Been going through some minor health issues and other things. I also am in the middle of one of our local theatrical productions. It might not surprise Zona’s long-time fans that this is my adaptation of PG Wodehouse’s “Jeeves Takes Charge”, and that in this play, we have swapped the genders of Bertie and Jeeves to female. (Mostly, if I’m being honest, because my best actors are women, and we have more women in our little company than men. Eh. This is what often happens at our level.) Hoping it’s funny. Hoping people get the feminist message.
Thanks for caring.
Working on the new page, hope it’s up soon.
Good luck with the production, with your health, and with the political woes. The last will come to an end, gradually… we can very slowly see people wising up as 47’s approval ratings fall. Maybe with the midterms in two years there will be some actual brakes on his power to cause chaos and foul up the global economy etc.
My heart is heavy tonight. We had to say goodbye to my dear constant companion and the inspiration for all the black cats in “Challenges Of Zona”, my beloved friend, P-Chan. He was very old and finally was very confused and in great pain. So we eased him into Summerland Thursday evening. Nonetheless, he’s still there in the past and in my memories, and in Inky and in Incus and in the one-eyed winged cat from the Otherwhen. (Yes, long-time readers will remember when he lost his eye to an abcess, years ago.)
I was approached by some of my fellow Webcomic creators about a Valentine’s Day cross-promotion where we create sexy images of our characters and put them out there along with everyone else’s for Valentine’s Day.
“Sexy stuff!?” I cried, aghast, “With Zona? Heaven forfend!”
But after a little persuasion, I decided to go ahead and put one out there. Follow the links and see mine and everyone else’s.
Happy V-Day all!
Warm regards,

Here is a censored version of mine. Follow the link to get to the full rez, uncovered version.
Over the past year, my Patreon patrons have been generously giving me money to pursue my vision of an animated web series based on The Challenges Of Zona. In return they get early updates, desktops and other fun stuff. But all of it has had one goal. And we have just passed the first milestone on the way to that goal.
I have just made the first payment to a talented young animator who is contracted to produce a 61-second fully animated trailer for The Challenges Of Zona.
We’re both really enthusiastic and I have high confidence that, within the next month or two we will have something to show folks that we’re serious about bringing a new fantasy phenomenon to the web.
I needed all of you, patrons and fans alike to support me in this and you have not disappointed. Eventually everyone will see the end product, but Zona’s patrons will be in on all the latest updates, new character models, tests, renders and everything as it happens, plus any other extras we can give in humble gratitude.
So be not shy. And, if you can, buy into the future of fantasy entertainment. one dollar, five dollars -ten or whatever you can afford. You won’t be sorry! This is happening!
We’re doing it. We’re moving forward. We’re bringing Zona to life.
In the word of the great Stan Lee:
EXCELSIOR!!
Watch this space!
Warmest regards,

You remember when our intrepid adventurers were stranded in Hollywood, California for awhile and the bored Zona would spend her time in the pool? Well sometimes she would forego the bathing suit. And your faithful storyteller did record the event.
My generous patrons at Patreon can see the whole thing in a high resolution desktop.
Do subscribe if you can, not just for the boobs and fun stuff, but to help Zona get to our goal and make an animated demo which, naturally, my patrons will be the first to see!

This week’s Sexy Saturday features (as some might have predicted) our resident priestesses of the Sun and The Moon, Chera and Tula.
If you’re not a patron, please consider helping us out at Patreon.com/JEDraft!

Sorry kids. I am working on a largish crowd scene for page 1052. It will probably not be ready until tomorrow at earliest.
However, for my Patreon patrons, there is a scene with our lovers that takes care of one of my little loose threads. Alas, I got tired of
being clever so there’s no attempt to hide their nudity, so I had to put it on the Patreon site. Don’t worry, though. It’s not necessary to enjoy the next regular page.
But it’s just one of the things I add every week to reward those who help Zona out. 🙂
Enjoy!
Warmest regards,
JED
You people are wonderful, and today we crossed a bit of a threshold and have now more than fifty patrons who are helping us get to the ever-nearer goal of ten thousand bucks for the Zona animated demo and then beyond to a series!
Thanks so very much. All of you are important, and as an artist I feel everyone’s support, whether you can afford to be a patron on Patreon or not. But because I’m feeling jaunty I thought I’d share something from the past that had not been posted before.  Going through my archives I came across a render of the luckless Ginsha I’m pretty sure I haven’t shared before. Half-urtt woman, now masterless and mostly insane, I promise that there is a resolution in her future.
Thanks to all my patrons!
Warmest regards,
JED
Those ancient Erogenians had all kinds of slaves. See a couple of the more objectionable types over at JED’s Patreon page !
All the cool kids are doing it! Just a few bucks a month reaps fun rewards and helps us get that much closer to an animated Zona!
Warm regards,
JED

I have no doubt Gorshash will use his magick to make sure he survives the fall, but the dragons won’t be on his side anymore … 8)
Also, did Liri’s two guides get left behind or did they also get a ride on the dragon?

Re: the tag at bottom-right…
A stupid dragon fights the CHAIN…
A smart dragon fights the HOLDER of the chain.

George Phillies
A smarter Tula finishes off Gorshash rather than talking about it. Unless momma dragon has a little snack on the way down.

You OK JED? Haven’t heard from you in awhile. you usually reply to comments.

RIP, Peter Tork.
When the world and I were young, just yesterday
Life was such a simple game a child could play
It was easy then to tell right from wrong
Easy then to tell weak from strong
When a man should stand and fight
Or just go along
But today, there is no day or night
Today, there is no dark or light
Today, there is no black or white
Only shades of gray
I remember when the answer seemed so clear
We had never lived with doubt, or tasted fear
It was easy then to tell truth from lies
Selling out from compromise
Who to love and who to hate
The foolish from the wise
But today, there is no day or night
Today, there is no dark or light
Today, there is no black or white
Only shades of gray
It was easy then to know what was fair
When to keep and when to share
How much to protect your heart
And how much to care
But today, there is no day or night
Today, there is no dark or light
Today, there is no black or white
Only shades of gray
Only shades of gray…
