The comics that aren’t in a specific collection.
I just had to step in, you know? There’s no room for arrogance here! Only my own, really. Feel free to share your view of the comic’s deeper meaning or intentions in the comments below. (Read part 1 here if you missed it.)
As decided by the fair people who read my post last week, I bring you part 1 of a little 2-part comic. Join us next week for the startling conclusion. In case you need reminding of who or what ‘Job’ big G. is referencing, you should read Box Brown’s comic “Everything Dies” and buy comics 1 & 2 that include …
Inspired by the moustache I’ve been growing for a couple of months now. I’ll trim it a bit before it gets that long though.

The viking is based on my friend Efey’s man. She asked for a comic and promptly triggered the idea by pointing out his beard looks on fire lately. So I couldn’t pass up on that.
A couple weeks ago I went to the great city of Frankfurt-Am-Main with a couple of friends. Fun times were had by all.
