If you follow my twitter, you'll know that I've been doing some character designs based on various lesser-known marine animals. Here are all the designs compiled in one place, as well as several rough sketches of various designs that I scrapped. I might return to some of these later, or rec...

What no exposure to the outside world does to a mf—teetering on the brink of insanity, scraping the inside of my brain for comic inspiration, when the bastard queen MARINA releases a new single so bad that it inspires me to write a whole comic lamenting the fact.
Originally, this was goin...

Bringing back out the old, speech bubble-less format here. Not sure how I feel-- looks somehow cleaner and messier at the same time.
Normally, I would think this sort of comic veers into a level of self-deprecation that is annoyingly excessive, veering from comedy to jokey self-pity. But, I think for the joke to work I need an immediate visual shorthand for "guy who sucks" by implication, without outright saying it, so my opti...

Nowadays, when making a comic I usually use it as an opportunity to flex or improve on my drawing skills. In this case, I had to redraw this several times to avoid depicting a child molester as too cool looking or sexy.
The master neologism "Mr. Magoo car" first appeared in epis...

Ta-Da! Here is an idea of what the patreon thank-you comics will more or less look like from here on out, featuring names of "Legendary Super Tuesday" and "Ten Doller Boller" patrons.
While making this, I noticed a few people at lower tiers who were still pledging 5$ or above; I left ...

Hello!
As you may or may not have noticed, I just added two new Patreon tiers: 5$ and 10$. Now, first and foremost, let me assure people: nothing is being taken away from 2$ patrons, who will still have full access to all content posted on here. Instead, the new tiers just ...

There are two potential problems with this joke, which I won't know the extent of until it hits public eyes. The first one is that the joke just doesn't read clearly, and people will think that the idea is that conservative fans will react negatively to a classic character being non-binary.
It's been a minute since the last update, sorry! I've been spread thin across a lot of other things.

This comic really runs the gamut of BT tropes-- introspection, massive walls of text, overthought commentary on the stupidest of dumb internet minutiae, and sex jokes.
This comic originated because I though of the "Biden is a reboot of the Obama administration" joke, and thought...

Argh, that last panel really bothers me-- I spent so much time trying to get the perspective right, but it still looks weird. Whatever. Spent a ton of time getting the minutiae of the wording right on the video titles too, wanting to make sure that words weren't overused, comedic patterns are cle...

Hey! In case you missed it, yesterday I did a little bit of not-quite-stand-up, not-quite-comic comedy at a local Boston artist's open mic that invited me as the featured act. It was a blast getting to try out something new, even though my nerves meant the delivery wasn't the smoothest. It's abou...

I've actually been sitting on this idea for a while, and when the Lincoln Project shit went down, I knew it was the universe telling me it was time.

Bing bang boom. A simple one. I usually try to put more effort into the artwork of the comics these days, but I'm not sure I should've bothered trying to replicate Magic's James Gurney-esque oil painting or Yugioh's bright and catchy airbrushed look. I'm a completely amateur painter, and I think ...

There was an interesting little moral question that went into t...

During quarantine, I’ve felt some stagnation in my ability to be funny, the lack of social interaction meaning a lack of situations necessitating on-the-spot humor. I have, however, had a lot of time to reflect on myself, my life, my fears, and what I believe— I imagine most people have. So, ...

This is a comic that I felt a little less strongly about the longer I worked on it.

This is a fairly old-school style comic-- no dense text bursts, just a sort of comedy-sketch style gag. I think it's just okay. The humor rests almost solely on familiarity with outside material, and even though the art is alright in some parts, there are other where you can clearly tell I just s...

Is this good? Do people like this? Or is it just some hacky "eat-pray-love for failsons" type of thing? Let me know.
