Something a little lighter since yesterday. I’ve been enjoying a bit of mine-farming and -crafting and -exploring with Sam and Lindsey. Sam’s running our server and I like the feeling of contributing to something as a community. Sometimes I pop in for a few minutes and break some pumpkins, sometimes I spend a few hours carving out a cave. It’s a peaceful return. I’m sure we’ll get sick of it soon, but for now, it’s good.

idk why I’m updating twice in a row all of a sudden. I drew yesterday’s comic a while ago and only just found myself stable enough to draw the last panel and scan it. today, I feel comfortably numb, but maybe I’m not making the best decisions for the future. I stayed up until midnight watching the Stranger Things finale. I had to wake up in just 5 hours. Ah well. Live and (for some reason) never learn. Goodnight!

I know I haven’t been updating much. I think this comic explains it. Things are… normalizing. We’ll see what happens. I’m travelling statewide again this coming week. I feel a tickle in my throat. Oh boy—oh boy.

Please familiarize yourselves with kira’s work. She’s the closest peer I’ve ever known to pass, and I will miss her entirely.

I found this in my sketchbook and knew I had to immediately scan it.

Does that butt look familiar to you, or is it just me?

More sooner than later.

this is what we in the business call a “shitpost”

but also, just good, clean fun. I was waiting for a parking spot, again. you’rewelcomemauiface.jpg

I’ve been thinking about things. I’ve also been super duper busy. Keeping myself busy, but also busy all the time when I’m not. It’s insane. I need to make more comics. Gotta go. Bed’s not too far from now!

The truth hurts, everybody. No one likes hearing it. Hit me with it, sometime. I find it refreshing.

This comic is vapid. It’s superficial. It’s conformist. I spend too much time on social media. Taste my self loathing!

I haven’t really made a comic about my life in a little bit have I? Or have I? I don’t even know what’s honest and what isn’t, anymore. I’m doin’ my best.

 

I found out my friend Kira passed away due to cancer. She was younger than me and a better artist. Maybe more on that later as I process it.

Ironically, this is exactly the kind of comic I’m lampooning.

What a hoot! I’m figuring it out. I’m creating! Be happy. Stuff gets made and I don’t always gotta be the one to make it. But I do gotta be the one to make it, too, cuz someone’s gotta.

Guess that’s me.

It’s true! We – specifically I (as Dave has had his 300 pages done since the end of April – as intended) – finished The 602!

I finished the last 28 pages on Saturday – the comic I’m drawing here being #600 – and took the rest of the long weekend to recover. It has been a TON of work, but these last pages took a bit of planning. It’s done, now, save for TWO PAGES which will function as a sort of epilogue. We’ll upload those soon – I think Dave will do #601, and then I’ll do #602. Might be short, might be long. We’ll see! I’m excited. We had a good time.

You can start from the beginning or read just the newest pages. I kinda tie up the whole plot, so if you forget, give it a look! It’ll make you smile, I think. 600 pages, everybody. That’s nuts. Also, maybe print someday? We’ll see 🙂

Look for more comics soon! Maybe tomorrow! I’m feeling pretty good now that I wrapped up those strips. Hope you are too.

You know what feels really good? Spending a couple hours on a comic after spending a WHOLE. MONTH. making approximately ten fast and loose comics a day.

That’s right, April is over, and so The 600 (and 2) is “done,” so I’m back to my regularly scheduled battle. Part of that battle now entails concluding The 602 because I fell behind the last weekend and I refuse to not draw 300 comics. It’s the principle of the thing. “The thing” being the number 300. Which is important to me for some reason.

And can I just sing Dave’s praises for not only doing T602 with me spur-of-the-moment, but for surpassing my expectations, keeping me engaged and entertained, and just rocking every update possible for a whole month. He made the project into the narrative masterpiece it is – I’ll remember this experience for a long, long time.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some bad comics to make.

I uploaded 10 of these last 65 strips!

Read ’em starting here 👌
