Finally some good news

Not a hairline in sight. I’m really itching to draw something else that goes multiple pages, but I can’t stop the flow of nonsense ideas into my brain… they keep me awake at nig...

Gotta play it cool

4/15/25

Needlessly long since I drew my last bug related comic. Gotta remind people of my roots. This was basically inspired by my Sunday afternoon which I spent raking dead leaves out of my ...

My favorite Italian restaurant

4/14/25

I honestly don’t even know what to say about this one lmao it was a fun one to draw though. Today I was on a tear and inked three comics, but I colored this one first because I anti...

Me and my dog every day

4/11/25

My little doggie is at the vet getting her teeth cleaned today. I’m stressed about it because she’s my shining star and I can’t handle being away from her for more than 4.3 seco...

Only one way out

4/10/25

One of those ideas that’s been sitting in my notes for a long time but was difficult to frame. Pretty happy with how it came out even though the color was a little tricky to get rig...

Hey beetlegang-- quite an exciting time for us as the party trai...

What are you doing in this situation

4/6/25

I actually would hang something like that in my house. People who read this comic may believe the girl is the protagonist and the one we relate to… but I’m da joker

We can stop this… there’s still time.

4/4/25

Sometimes my favorite punchlines are just the introduction of a ridiculous looking made up character. Ie the CEO of racism, or the little banjo hamster in the last comic. I really like...

Oh my gosh I had no idea

4/3/25

Had fun trying to merge a few different styles for some moments in the panels. I try to draw from a reference in a way that I think will make things more visually funny or interesting....

Ladies… stick by your man

She just doesn’t see the vision.

Bonus photo of the quick ideation phase for the wedgie-matic contraption featured in the second panel. It’s never made any sense to me when ...

Just letting you guys know ahead of schedule if there’s someone you have a crush on, just send them this and say “us” trust me on this one

My stupid teenage Gundam life

3/26/25

Honestly guys I have no idea with this one. Sometimes there’s an idea so stupid and pointless that’s nagging at me and I gotta see it through. This one required so much redrawing ...

This is what I want from an elected official

3/25/25

The grand high wizard alien council is pleased. For a fairly simple-looking two panel idea, this was up there with the most difficult to construct. Partly because of the individual po...

It puts me where I should be

3/22/25

There was a lot of push-pull with this idea. Of course the orangutan in the hammock came to me first and it was a matter of getting it into a comic. Originally the idea was a guy drea...

Should’ve bought the pre-built

3/21/25

I gotta tell you guys it is definitely extending the length of my process for each comics completion, but I am really enjoying taking the time to detail and shade in the coloring proc...

These guys go way back

3/20/25

This idea started as the first two panels alone, but I didn’t think the punchline was funny or interesting enough and I tabled the idea. Later in the day I was thinking of a twist t...

A blessing and a curse

3/19/25

Here’s a good example of using a variety of references for a drawing, in this case the face in the top panel and the same guy doing the stanky leg in the second panel. One of these ...

Cows

3/15/24

I actually had two different ideas for the presentation of this joke, but one was more subdued and this one was more punchy. Figured this one was the funnier of the two, but not I’m...

What are the odds

3/14/25

One of the biggest challenges I find in webcomics is having to keep everything really tight. There’s very little breathing room on one page and you have to manipulate panels sometim...

Hate when this happens

3/13/25

Another really difficult one to draw lol, noticing a trend here. The color really brought it home, especially selling the contact lens in the ground which is kind of difficult to disc...

New York’s hottest club

3/12/25

The most challenging part of this drawing was finding any way to anthropomorphize bacteria. Had to cheat and just give them little arms or I think the first panel would just be too ab...

Krill Pizza

3/11/25

Last minute decision when drawing this one to leave the whale shark mostly out of frame. Originally the blocking was different in my head, then I accidentally drew the shark too big f...

I’ll allow it

3/10/25

Another really fun one to color. The coloring process has become the lengthiest part of my routine in the last couple months but I’m really having fun discovering new little jokes w...

Twenty bucks

3/7/24

Gonna try a new naming convention on the patreon. Instead of naming these with the dates like I’ve been doing, I’ll give them an actual title and then use this space to give you so...

3/6/24

Gotta show them a good time

2/21/25

Just something to make ends meet

Yeah I’m a tote bag girlie
