Falling into Webcomics...
Fall is almost here! And as the weather cools, and the leaves change (at least here in the northern hemisphere), the Screen Tones calendar is filling up with more excitement and activities!
- Panel DTIYS are back with a cute vengeance! We've done a Draw Jam Bingo and Sanrio and look forward to upcoming weeks!
- Fuuuuuusiioooooonnnnn HA! Ever wonder what it would be like to have your OC fuse with another? Join the ongoing challenge in which you can try your hand at designing what that would look like!
- Who's that OC?? Submit an older OC for a chance to get an OC redesign, an artistic challenge for folks to sharpen their design skills, for fun!

Summary:
Oscar rented an old house off craigslist, then things got weird...
First it was meeting the ghost of a 1940s mathematician in the upstairs hallway, then it was finding a teenage werewolf in the bathtub. Now Oscar doesn't know what will show up next. Maybe that's okay, as long as nothing eats him.
Wilde Life is a supernatural adventure/horror series set in a small town in rural Oklahoma. It focuses on stories about creatures from Native American mythology as witnessed and documented by a journalist from Chicago, Illinois.
