Frequently Asked Questions

How can I be notified of new TSOS pages and other new comics?

The RSS feed has up-to-date notifications for pages, and the newsletter goes out monthly. You can also follow me on social media, but I don't always post when pages go up, sorry...

How long will The Sweetness of Salt be?

Four chapters, plus an epilogue (probably ~250 pages total)

Will The Sweetness of Salt ever become a physical book?

No, TSOS is my first webcomic and it was never made with print in mind. PDF's are available for your digital library, though!

Why doesn't the GIF on the about page loop?

It only plays once, to reduce eye strain/flashing. It'll play again with a page refresh.

Can I use your artwork or comic panels for my personal social media icons/banners?

Sure, just be sure to credit the artwork back to shooshell.com or tsoscomic.com

Can I make fanvids/fanart/fanedits for The Sweetness of Salt?

Yes, I love to see what people make! Feel free to tag me on social media so I can share it :)

What about fanfic and reviews?

You are welcome to make them, but please don't send them to me!

Can I use your work with machine learning/AI (even for personal use such as character roleplay)?

Absolutely fucking not, and if you do this, you suck! You're a cancer to everything that makes comics great!

How do I submit my fanart to the gallery or report a site issue?
