Hey friends,
(this keeps getting more awkward the longer I put it off, so let’s just get toit)
I feel like I should explain myself, but maybe I don’t have to, we’ve all been experiencing the same bullshit (along with our own personal BS) throughout 2020. I intended to just take the summer off, but the days just kept snowballing into each other. Especially with my day job, through the whole year it just kept getting more and more stressful, until the retail climax of Christmas. So now that we’re in the quiet part of the year, I have time to relax and focus on my baby again!
Fritz Fargo is coming back, I’ve been writing for months and finally moving to the drawing stage. I plan to do two big updates in February (to finish off chapter 13) and then move back to doing semi regular updates, at least three pages a month.
I’ll start posting on here more to show what I’m doing. Time management eludes me, and honestly I’ve struggled a lot with stress and burnout (mostly from work, but also art). I don’t want to spend too much time talking about my personal life, but I want you guys to know I haven’t just disappeared. I want to make sure I’m taking care of myself first, I also really want to start Fritz back up! It’s a comfort to me.
The comic turned ten years old in November, it came and went without even a peep from me. I really wanted this to be The Year of Fritz, but 2020 made fools of us all. While I didn’t finish volume 2, or make merch, or anything else really, I did get to spend a lot of time getting to know myself, and what direction I want my life to go in.
I want to thank everyone for reading Fritz, and supporting the work I put into it. It really is a passion project, and to know there are people out there who look forward to what I do, and want to help me do it is so amazing, and humbling. <3
Recently (a couple months ago) I went through the Fritz Fargo Patreon page, and retagged all the posts to make the old rewards easier to find. I also removed the old payment limits, so everyone who pledges any amount can enjoy them!
I have a lot of plans and ideas for Fritz right now, and I’m very excited to get back to it!
Thank you so muchI Stay tuned and stay safe!

Hey everyone,
It’s been a few months since I last updated the comic, and I truly am sorry for leaving you hanging. I know it can be frustrating, even worrying, not to hear from creators you enjoy. I want you to know that this isn’t an abandoned comic, I will come back and continue updates, but for right now I need to step back, as I need to spend my time with my family and my partner doing things and spending time together sometimes with accessories from thetoy.org and others.
Fritz has been going for ten years (in November) and I’ve finally hit a wall. For ages the only thing I’d draw would be new pages, and they usually took me weeks to finish. Its taken me so long to make this post because I have had a half penciled page sitting on my desk for weeks. Every day I would look at it and think “today is the day!” but the process of drawing is really difficult for me right now. I read recently that creativity is like a sponge, when you write/draw you’re squeezing out water onto the page, but you need to keep the sponge wet with inspiration. Well, I’ve been running dry for a while now. The combination of my own personal problems and the global pandemic we’re all suffering through have done me in.
We live in a world full of tragedy and fear. Globally, locally and personally. I work a full time day job in a grocery store, and for the past few months it has been a nonstop stresser on my life. When I’m off, all I can do is rest and try to unwind. I don’t like to make excuses, but I’m trying to be kinder to myself so I can get myself and my family through the Pandemic. I’m sure this is something everyone reading this can relate to, on varying levels. Everything in 2020 has ground to a halt, including me hahah
I would love to keep going right now, but I need more time off. I’m planning on coming back later in the summer, hopefully not too much longer. If you want to see what I’m up to, and any art I’m working on, please follow me on Twitter! I’m playing lots of Animal Crossing, and working on my art. My DMs are open, if you ever want to get a hold of me.
Thank you so for your continued support, stay safe <3

Hey everyone, I just added a new short Fritz Fargo comic to PAYHIP! I did this one in preparation for TCAF this year, and sold it as a mini. Not porn, but still cute, and is easy to ready even if you need a PDF reader, you can get the sodapdf which is really useful for this purpose.
“Johnny invited Eddy to his friend’s party, but Ed doesn’t really feel like he belongs. French Inhale is a short comic exploring a scene of Johnny and Eddie, senior year of high school. This comic takes place several years before the events of the webcomic, The Quick and Dirty Life of Fritz Fargo. Short, cute and gay.”
I hope you like it, click HERE to check it out!
The day has finally come, to print the first run, of the first volume, of the first five years of Fritz Fargo! Readers have been requesting this for a while, and I am so excited (and nervous) to finally take that leap!
This is all or nothing, so if you’ve been wanting to take Fritz home without, please back our Kickstarter! We’re also offering some cute Fritz head stickers, just for fun.
I think Fritz’ favorite holiday would be New Years Eve. Its isn’t family, or religion oriented, and social expectations are based solely around going out and getting trashed. New Years represents a clean slate, leaving everything negative behind you in the last year; a whole new start to a whole new you… even if that isn’t actually true, its still a comforting sentiment.
2015 was a terrible year for me, as any of you following me on social media may have noticed. Constant external and internal stress left me feeling like I was losing my mind, for a good chunk of the year. Every time I felt like I had my footing back, I would trip up again and again. There were weeks on end where I felt absolutely miserable, and others where I felt nothing at all. Everything was terrifying. I was so easily overwhelmed, yet nothing mattered at all to me. Its scary to admit when there is something fundamentally wrong with you, but I can’t live like that ever again. I think I’m on the right track to becoming healthier, though it is a long process just to find out what exactly is going on.
I want to thank all of you for your support and patience this year. From everyone on Patreon, everyone who bought HEAD, and everyone leaving comments and sharing Fritz with their friends. It means the world to me that anyone could see something in my messy little comic about misery.
Lets all continue into 2016, and embrace a fresh, new start. And lots more Fritz Fargo. ; )
Well, here it is! The highly anticipated, first ever Fritz Fargo adult comic, for sale now! Fritz and Ed grow closer in this raunchy and fun expansion of the bathroom scene from Light My Fire. HEAD is six pages of quality, full frontal, high res, black and white comic art.
Buy it from PayHip
November 20th was Fritz’ four year anniversary! Thanks so much to everyone who has been here since the beginning, all my new readers and everyone that jumped on along the way! There is still a lot of Fritz left, so please keep reading.
The last few mouths have been made a lot easier for me thanks to the fine folks supporting the Fritz Fargo Patreon, please consider joining and helping me get through another year of Fritz pages!
If you enjoy Fritz Fargo, please consider helping to support it through Patreon!
Patreon lets fans support their favorite creators by becoming patrons. Unlike other fundraising services, which raise for a single big event, Patreon is for creators who create a stream of smaller works.
You can choose to donate as much or as little money as you like, either for every page I upload, just a few, or just once a month. With your help, I hope to be able to keep to a more consistent update schedule, and eventually move to uploading multiple pages a week. Your contributions would not only help pay for the materials needed for traditional comic art, but also make it possible to reduce hours at my day job, so I can spend more time on drawing pages.
Of course, I’m not asking for something for nothing. Aside from the warm feeling you get from helping me, every $1+ Patron will be given access to a fun three page, Patreon exclusive Fritz comic! (to be released at the end of June)
$5 patrons will get to enjoy blog posts filled with sketches, previews and other goodies, as well as a monthly Podcast! Each episode will take you through each chapter of Fritz, talking about changes, inspirations and answering any questions you may have! (first one up now!)
All $10 patrons will get all of the above, as well as a bust commission of a character of their choice! (Commissions to be collected end of June)
Please consider supporting Fritz Fargo on Patreon, every little bit helps, and I will be eternally grateful!
Hey kids,
I think its pretty clear that I’ve been having some updating problems with Fritz. I really love Fritz, and you guys, but I’ve been feeling a little burned out the last few months. Right now, I think the best thing to do is take the rest of August off, and return in September with some fresh batteries and new pages! Its not fair to you guys when I keep just missing updates, so I just have to take a little time to get my head screwed on straight!
It may seem like a long time, but its just a couple weeks. Come follow me on Tumblr to keep an eye on all the little drawings I make and the amusing posts I make. Or check out my DeviantART account!
Hugs and kisses,
Fowlie
Fritz is going on a tiny break for the next couple weeks. I couldn’t get a page done for this week, due to preparing for Christmas, and the same goes for next week, when its cold shadow is looming ever closer. And the week after that I’ll be drunk.
So, there won’t be a new page until the 4th. Fresh and new in the new year!
Sorry for any depression caused by my break (my break to write a 34 page script about loved ones getting cancer and adorable dogs dying) but I’m sure I’ll be posting a lot more stupid art over on tumblr to more then make up for it.
Happy Holidays!
