12/09/2016 whistle while you worthless Warning, the fish is not a role model. It is not even human. I think the creature may be a snake when it is treated badly, and a fish when it treats others badly. Also, I do not personally think anybody with a reasonable job is a “hack.” Initially the question was “have you had any studio employment?” but late in the process it seemed wrong, yet I could not think of a better way to ask the question properly in the space I had left for it. In any event the point is that the fish is a jerk.
11/12/2016 vote of impotence trump was a horrible candidate and a worse president but I found the media attitude about the 2016 election to be disingenuous. It has always been disingenuous about that and other topics but it all got worse then and as is typically the case it stayed worse. once again, a longer website post about the topic that was contemporary with it
09/26/2016 stop and wish you were dead I was worried about seeing this one again, but it isn’t that bad. Before Trump was presumed to have any chance of actually winning the election he was easy to see as a joke generally harmless outside the vicinity of any business he was associated with. Stop and Frisk was, is, a notorious policy from some police departments in which enforcers were encouraged to conduct random embarrassing searches on pedestrians based on approximately whatever they felt like. As is generally the case with bad policies, it disproportionately targets ethnic minorities, and is disproportionately favored by ethnic non-minorities. Trump made a public statement in favor of it which must have been widely broadcast because I based these drawngs on screenshots from it. also around the same time was a low budget video game full of characters wearing ugly striped shirts that I was seeing tiring, uninspired fan-wankery about, and I unwittingly learned that the pink and blue-shirted character was named or had been dubbed by fans as “Frisk,” and I thought the juxtaposition with Trump’s remark was comical in the context of him being someone who would never have any senior government position through which to implement or encourage implementation of such a policy.
09/15/2016 concealer this was all grey until about 30 minutes before I [originally, in 2016] uploaded it
02/19/2016 happy burn-day this didn’t actually happen. I just imagined the sentiment repeatedly. I can report as of 12-20-2022 that the specific person that I imagined might say this, out of perhaps many who might, is not more popular than me by now but indeed does not need me. preliminary feedback suggested this was better if I left out the the fifth frame that shows the viewer’s reaction. but here it is anyway! I didn’t bother to finish it, evidently.
12/03/2015 dork rite Created to accompany this written piece about a regional chain of prestigious supermarkets.
08/07/2015 pog rite theoretically this is actually part of the better comic strip, but I don’t know where in the “story” it goes. possibly in some part that has not yet been made. or perhaps before. It was made for the back cover of the first printed book a longer post with an alternate version is over here.
02/06/2015 lametriots I am not certain if this conveyed what I meant it to in its original context, or any other, but I sure drew it.
10/12/2014 avuncular manslaughter it doesn’t look like I ever posted this on websites other than my own. I think I must have, but I can see why I would not have. a longer website piece about it
08/02/2014 self-rubblish considering that this is about the printed comic books, I also inserted this near to the end of I think the first one. a longer website post about it is over there.
01/31/2014 Dumbersault i get ideas when I go for walks. I think “maybe I could execute a backflip right here” in the street, and then I think that I will probably fail, and so badly that it kills me, and then people will wonder why there was suddenly a dead person in the road. Perhaps investigators could determine that I had fallen, but would they be able to figure out that I had tried to jump in a stupid way first? By the angle of damage and apparent velocity of the impact? Or would it just be “ruled an accident?” Why am I considering so far beyond my inevitable foolish death? I would hate the populace to think I had become dead for no reason. I was TRYING to DO something specific! I hate to be misunderstood, especially when I am dead. This comic will run on your Amstrad system.
11/18/2013 police excuse the interruption Sometimes I wake up with an idea and think “that will be quick. I can do that and worry about other things. It will be so quick that it will not matter if the idea ultimately makes no sense or is more alarming than funny.” I added the pain stars at the end so nobody would think that thing was dead
09/27/2013 faire du shopping A small pencil comic strip hastily computer-drawn-over when I was in Paris after a few unfortunate shopping trips. I suppose I could color it but not everything is worth the trouble. 12-20-2022 also unless stated otherwise I am just copying my original descriptions and dates and pretending this stuff has been on this website all along I have been unsuccessful in locating the source file for this; once I do, I shall upload a larger, potentially more legible edition.
