It’s true that Octopus Pie is ending. There are 2 chapters left (after the current one, which is almost over). They will both be fairly dense, as there is a large cast to cover, some ends to tie up. I’m not sure exactly the length, but my rough estimate from today is about 6 months.
It’s a webcomic, so who can say I won’t get a wild hair and stretch things out. But OP’s 10th anniversary is May 14th, 2017; I’ve promised myself it will run no longer than that.
Thanks for asking - I’ve been wanting an opportunity to clarify! I’ve seen a lot of people eulogizing already, but I’ve got lots planned, and it’s going to be fun. You’ll love it.
And after that: QUESTION MARKS!
Hey! Did you catch the Octopus Pie story I posted back in April? Well, now there’s a full-color version available in print! With interior colors by Valerie Halla. I’m doing a small run of these, and they will all be signed. Snag yours here.
Back from SPX… and guess what! Octopus Pie won an IGNATZ AWARD!
I’ve been going to SPX since 2005 when I was a tiny baby, and it really meant a lot to take home this little brick! Thanks to everyone at the show who voted for me! The full list of nominees and winners is here.
Do check out the B9 Kingdom Kickstarter! I’m doing an exclusive Octopus Pie sketchbook for their new art book set, which you can get when you help fund the print run.
If you’re a fan of OP you’ll get a lot of neat sketchbook and B-side art in mine! Plus art books from Dustin Harbin, Becky Dreistadt, and Evan Dahm, which are sure to be terrific.

Thanks to a nice person on Twitter I got a screencap of it! super cool :)
Octopus Pie premiered this week 5 years ago, in 2007. To celebrate, here are some weird old drawings of the characters before I had a series in mind for them. Most of these were done around 2006, but some were drawn earlier when I was in college.
Hello! Believe it or not, there is a new Octopus Pie story for you to read in its entirety! You can start at the beginning here.
Perfect Tides trailer #2. Coming in 2021.
Hey all, if you’d like to reread Octopus Pie as a daily comic strip with commentary - or you never got through the whole thing while it was updating - you can start today! I won’t be x-posting to Tumblr this time around - it’s just too time-consuming in addition to my other work - so be sure to bookmark http://www.octopuspie.com to enjoy a new strip every day!
