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.
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.
Hey so I didn’t think I was going to make this comic and it’s super late and I still need to get some sleep so GO READ ALL THESE AWESOME COMICS WE’RE MAKING AND THANKS FOR CHECKING BACK OFTEN – BYE.
idk how to draw dave these days. maybe you recognize him from old strips? probably not. I don’t have the archived strip he was in because it was wholly digital and lost during the Great Rampage Wreck of 2015 (or Whenever). But he’s doing a thing with me and I’m probably going to be spending some time figuring out how to do it best what with work and everything. This is gonna be a helluva month!
Taxes, amirite?
April Fool’s, amirite?
Tired old clichés, amirite?
Night night, amirite?
I know this one’s a little general and vague but I can apply it to a lot of things in my life.
Like, if I screw up on my update schedule, what did I do wrong? Can I set a more realistic goal, or was it just time allocation? Project scope? Synergy? 401k? Or does it really matter what I did wrong? Like, how long should I analyze failure? After the ego heals, how productive is it to hold onto all that negativity and reflection? I should try letting it go. Like all things, easier said than done.
I’ve never made brownies that didn’t turn out weird – like, cakey or eggy – and the other night I was like, “hey, what do I need to make them from scratch?” and we substituted bleached flour for whole wheat flour and used brown sugar instead of granulated white sugar and WA WA WEE WA they were great. I ate so much raw batter. I fear no egg sickness.
I’m on a roll! I’m jinxing myself typing that, but I kinda jinxed myself after I talked about feeling good that I completed a storyline so HEY I’M TEMPTING FATE I GUESS.
I sent people over to the forum, yesterday, to look at some old nsfw art – if you wanna participate over there, I’m taking requests on forum/comment avatars (also other people can jump in and draw avatars, too). You can check it out if you want a personalized doodle. Also, I think I deleted someone’s account. Sorry, dude – please just make another.
Goodnight!
