Oh, and there be japes and chortles too, needless to say.
Pretty good thumbnail, hey? Anyway, this actually went up on YouTube a couple of weeks ago, and I remembered to post it everywhere but here. Oops. (Of course you can bypass much of my incompetence by subscribing to the channel.)
Thanks to my real Ko-fi supporters (not the hilarious pretend ones in the video) for doing their part in the eternal war against insufficient content.

Another one for Dark Horse Presents, completed in July 2013, and a favourite of mine, though perhaps only faintly present, hazy and translucent, in the overlap between 'things I find funny' and 'things other people find funny'. (I am saying it is a very silly comic.)
I delighted in using the bigger, thicker Kuretake Bimoji brush pens to ink parts of Quest of the Warrior, and the colouring uses pure yellow and magenta to look eye-searingly bold in glossy print. It was fun making comics with print in mind!
THAT SAID, if you wanna share this comic ON THE INTERNET, that is fine too; very welcome and helpful in fact.
You know what else is helpful? Supporting me on ko-fi, either monthly or with a one-off tip! If you go the monthly option, though, there are treats involved. Either way, you're helping me to keep making comics like this and tons of other fun stuff too. So, thank you!
]]>...For want of a better title. Coaster 57 in my off-and-on coaster/postcard project, featuring Tobias and Jube having a midnight mishap with a see-saw. Ain't it the way!
Should you desire to observe the entire drawing process set to relaxing music (also by me), followed by 20 minutes of mucking about with pens, you need only watch the embedded youtube video below... or better yet, click the "Watch on YouTube" bit, so you can leave a thumbs-up and a nice comment afterwards.
Also: subscribe to the channel, join my Ko-fi, and/or get the lovely music from the video in my Ko-fi shop or on Bandcamp. It's free, unless you want to pay for it, in which case I generously permit you to do so!

Another nutty 4-pager from Dark Horse Presents, completed in May 2013. Completely daft but looks great. I coloured in CMYK from the start, so the colours are a little muted on the screen (converted to RGB), but in print it was spectacular, with areas of 'pure' colour that really popped.
Oo-wah-ooh! Support me on Ko-fi, ya big muddy galosh!
]]>Job Interview, another comic for Dark Horse Presents, completed in March 2013, and I think the one my editor described as the funniest comic he'd ever read. So, uh, if you didn't enjoy it... get a clue, I guess!!!
Did you know that everything I post here, I post earlier on my Ko-fi, for my supporters? But if your enjoyment of comics isn't tied to a panicked sense of urgency, you can simply leave a one-off tip instead, to say thanks, if you like! "No no, thank you," you can imagine me saying, when you do that.
]]>Here's Tobias and Jube exploring an Inari shrine on a drink coaster, or rather, an art board disguised as a drink coaster. Drawn on January 23rd of this year, as you can clearly see.
What's that? You wish you could watch me draw this whole illustration from start to finish? And learn about the tools I used? And hear more about why I'm drawing on drink coasters to begin with? Well that's all quite demanding, but as it happens, you're in luck!
Click through to YouTube and subscribe to my channel, if you like, and join my Ko-fi to grab the cute section break tunes that I made for this video, as a thank-you present.

Someone on the still-twitching corpse of Twitter asked me about this one, so here it is!
This was made in March 2014, around the same time as I was making Hilarity Comics for Dark Horse Presents, but in fact this one was a kind of audition for the Australian news/politics website Crikey after their cartoonist/comic First Dog on the Moon left for the new-ish Australian edition of The Guardian. (They published it, along with a few other hopefuls, but in the end replaced First Dog with some dude making image-and-text #auspol memes that were kind of popular at the time. I don't know how long that lasted.)
Hey, support me on Ko-fi! It's good for you.
]]>Mrs Plopsworth's Kitchen, completed in January 2013, is another one that ended up in Dark Horse Presents (issue 28). Said a website: "Mrs. Plopsworth’s Kitchen somehow manages to be adorable and disturbing at the same time, although words like 'surreal', 'endearing', 'hilarious', and 'grotesque' could apply as well."
It's eight pages and hand-drawn on paper, though I think I did copy-paste the salami piles at the digital stage. The opening and closing illustrations are in watercolour. A weird, intense comic, and very funny I think!
]]>Steggy Wilmot and Spimps appeared in Dark Horse Presents #26, which was reviewed more widely than most issues, I think due to a recent Eisner Award win. And pretty much all of those reviews mentioned Steggy Wilmot in particular as a highlight! Which was nice. (I should probably make more hay out of being a sort-of-Eisner-winner, really.)
I have another new old comic for you... in book form! It's called Mr Frisky's Unbelievable Planet, and you can buy it in my brand new ko-fi shop, along with other cool things. Members get shop discounts, too! Wowee, what a bonanza for you today.
]]>An Hilarity Comic from March 2019, making this... the most recent Hilarity Comic?? Oh my god, I've got to make some more! Please help me!
