I’ll write more notes about this one in the morning because it’s late! Have a good night!
PS. There’s a real honest-to-god bonus panel. Go ahead. Click it and be amazed at an additional punchline.

227 comics.
Click the bonus panel image to see a close-up of the best part of this page! It’s worth it, I promise.
The beach was wonderful! I was actually the first person there — people didn’t start showing up until about an hour after I got there. Being naked on a beach you’ve got all to yourself is quite the feeling. King of the world!
I drew this one at the beach and I actually used a whole page in the sketchbook for this one panel! I haven’t draw my journal comic “big” in a while so that was fun. You can see how crisp the linework is! Also: color. Always fun. Beachy colors make me happy! The sky was so clear today — not a cloud in sight.
Looking forward to wrapping up the week right. Bring it on, Thursday!!
A warning, today’s incentive is NSFW! It’s tasteful, but it is actually a photo of my butt at a nude beach so. Click with caution!
Even more than the mountains, than the prairies, are the oceans: white with foam, which I love. Not, like, specifically the foam, but the other aspects, like the sun and the smell and the water and the warmth. I am a beachy kinda dude, I guess, and I feel like I’m forced to wear clothes like 99% of the time I’m awake so I relish the opportunity to strip down and catch rays. Some people can’t separate nudity from sexuality, but we know better, don’t we, readers?
Anyway, I am excited for a brief day of R&R. Rock and roll ??
CYA ALL TOMORROW, I HOPE!
CLICK THAT BUTTON to see today’s bonus panel, it stars your favorite red-hoodied hatter!
I drew this one in bed! I hear you’re not supposed to do anything in bed other than sleep, but my body was exhausted and my MIND wished to CREATE. It made sense and look: it worked. So. I’m not saying I’m going to keep drawing in bed, forever and ever, but maybe I am saying that once in a blue moon I might pull back the covers, plop my soft self into place, and dig into some kinda thing that ain’t SLEEP. You wait and see.
Anyway.
This strip is just me airing a little anxiety of mine. I feel like not that many people care about the meta of Allan but this isn’t your comic so nya nya.
Wait, where are you going —
…
Aw.
And here’s your conclusion! In total, I think there were 19 comics? I finished them all on Feb. 2nd, hence the conclusion. I’ll definitely be participating next year, too! Also, click that lil’ icon right there to see today’s bonus thing – it’s the whole final page of comics!
Have you heard of The Goonch? Or just… goonches, I guess. We were watching some Netflix Discovery-Channel-esque nature show about dangerous Costa Rican animals and it mentioned “the goonch.” So that was the highlight of my night.
I’ve got to get ready for the workweek – time to kick off Monday right, yeah? Let’s do this week! Cya guys at success ???

You might notice today’s hourlies have SIX (SIX IS MORE THAN FOUR). That’s because I drew the first 14 strips on a big 11×17 piece of paper, and after I scanned the first 8, I had 6 left! So. Mystery solved, team.
What’s better than six hourlies, though? You guessed it: a literal dolphin. But beyond that: seven comics. And you can see the seventh by CLICKING HERE. Or on that “Click to see a BONUS PANEL” button.
As for the comic, do you all know pierogies? Anybody? It’s a polish thing; my grandfather used to make them, and insisted the “G” be pronounced with as much phlegm as possible. PieroGHHH-CKKK-ies. Fun to say and to eat!
I’ll be uploading the last bunch of daily strips tomorrow, which I guess will technically be Monday (I’m uploading this at 11 PM PST)—Happy Sunday!
Oh, and check it out: I uploaded MORE CLASSIC ALLAN STRIPS. You can start at the beginning of the classic storyline, “The Change.”
GUESS WHAT. Here’s four more comic strips for #hourlycomicday (2018)! Please click the BONUS PANEL button below the strip to see another one for tomorrow!
ALSO, if you support me on Patreon, you can see EVEN MORE OF THESE STRIPS. Reminder: it literally costs you 100 pennies. Pennies. But I’ll get ’em all online soon enough—if you wanna see em first, tho, I’m guessing Patreon’s gonna be the place. I’m taking my time with these because I want to remember them fondly! I hope you all understand.
As for the strips, themselves — lunch meat wrapped around mozzarella is actually surprisingly satisfying. Assuming you’re taking some psyllium husk with it. Mmm. Fiber. And yeah, I live in northern California, so yeah, my tech company has yoga classes once a week! I don’t always go cuz I’m usually sore from the gym, but when I commit, I commit.
OK, more soon! Check twitter for lil’ previews and stuff!
Hi everybody! I drew NINETEEN comics today, because I was up from 6 AM until PAST MIDNIGHT!
By the way, please click that button up there to see today’s BONUS STRIP, which happens to be a preview of tomorrow’s 4-strip update! I’ll go through the next 19 or so over the next few days and draw a few more comics in the meantime. But it’s now 1 AM and I gotta to-be-continue this. So, to be continued. Thanks for reading!!
Look up! There’s a new button — it’s the BONUS PANEL button! I’m still deciding on the best place to put it, but hopefully right under the comic makes sense. You can also click right here, just cuz.
Clicking that button to see the bonus panel is especially helpful early in the month, and GUESS WHAT, it’s FEBRUARY NOW. So I’m gonna try and have a bonus panel with every new strip! Please click through to see it; it’ll be something silly related to the strip for the day!
As for the actual notes about this comic: this conversation happened on our first night in Yosemite at a cozy little pub-sports-bar place at the Yosemite Valley Lodge! After it got a laugh (the punchline was a group effort; I kinda needed to paraphrase) I was like “I should totally make that into a comic.” And I did. Ta-da!
As for the psyllium husk capsules: they are my favorite dietary supplement. For a while, I was taking psyllium powder, which is just sliiightly cheaper, but oh so much grosser. The capsules are so easy to swallow with a meal (and more portable, too) and definitely do the trick. I highly recommend them to everyone except maybe vegetarians or vegans — you guys are probably set on healthy poops (I know from experience). Oh, and I promise they’re not laced with LSD. I promise. ?
Old notes: I’m tired! I’ve been waking up at 5 AM this week. I’ll write more notes tomorrow and upload this strip to social media, then. Thanks for reading!
Remember when I was talking about consuming bad energy and emitting positive vibes? I’m workin’ on it! Trying to shift my skeptical resting bitch face into a skeptical resting smile. Or like, a subtle one. I don’t wanna look like a weirdo who’s just utterly pleased with himself. Smug. I don’t wanna be smug. Just nice.
Also, I was on vacation! We took a trip to Yosemite National Park — it’s like 4 hours from where I live! Now I’m back and ready to draw. Or something. I’m happy to get this one online. And look! 50 pages. I remember when I started this iteration of allancomic.com I felt so disheartened by how few strips I had. But I’m already at 50! And I’ll always have them. And that’s a good feeling. I love producing stuff!
There will be more comics and art and stuff soon! I wanna get some sleep and wake up before sunrise — it’s pretty outside in the morning. Good night and sweet dreams!
