Comic:
You waited a month for a poop joke! HAA!
But seriously, sorry for falling off the map for a month. I was still kinda doing videos and streams, but I had a nasty case of artist’s block. ‘Still kinda do, but I’ve had some time to think about where I am with the comic and where I want it to go. I considered changing the update schedule from “Saturdays” to “Whenever I Feel Like It”. I’ve gone a long while without time to relax or socialize, and the lack of response to the comic coupled with some discouraging words from a person in a chat (I’m sensitive, what?) made me feel like it wasn’t worth all that I’m sacrificing for it. But I’ve spoken to some other artists, both still at it and now defunct, and I’ve decided I want to keep trying. Comics is where this all started. I could easily throw it out and focus on youtubing/streaming– and hell, I could probably make some money that way. But despite how unrewarding it can sometimes feel, I’m an artist. I’m an emotional, angsty, man-child of an artist, and it would feel weird to stop drawing.
So here I am again. I’m going to keep drawing the comics I like and I’m going to keep trying new things until I get to a place that feels good, and then hopefully, people who like this thing that I’ve made will find me and follow my work and support me. Cheers!
Then they learned they were fighting the brown team, and it wall went downhill REAL fast.
One could even say that Sh*t hit the fan that day!
I imagine drawing in the snow is a lot more interesting if their color choice influences waste production.
Also, having now read the blog, I just wanna say how much I love this comic. I mean one stranger on the internet might not be able to sway you too much, but this comic and the YouTube channel have given me a laugh when things weren’t necessarily going great for me. I understand if you make the personal decision to claim some of your life back, and that that could potentially be more rewarding than working so hard for little gratification, but I personally really enjoy your sense of humor and art style and I’m positive that there are tons of people who see it the same way. So when someone pokes at you in the comments or the stream chat remember that they are an odd one out of a bunch of bits and bytes that love your work. Let any decision you make be your own.
Thanks, Geo. Really appreciate you saying that. 🙂
They used him like Mr. Toots from Red Faction. Ha ha, gross.

Keep the comic’s presure going KJ! (Clearly that sqiud doesn’t have to…)
I have always loved your comics. Even when it is waiting a while for a poop joke!
Thanks, Karak! ToT
I hope by lack of response you don’t mean lack of comments. As someone who prefers lurking to active discussion (Forums and comment sections bug me), trust me when I say, just because I don’t comment doesn’t mean I don’t love your comic. I’m sure there are others who feel the same way.
Oh, no! BnBs commenting or not commenting didn’t bug me. I’m a lurker myself, mostly. I meant just general readership. Thank you, though! I’m glad I have your support!
