Character: B.L. Zebub

Why Bother, and Other Questions

You’d think that Sara would know that asking Steve questions never goes well for her. He’s not a “knowing stuff” guy.

My new book, GRUNTS, is back up on DriveThruComics after a brief removal to update the files. Order it without tariff nonsense, because it will be printed wherever it’s cheapest to ship to you from.

EMPLOYEE OF THE WEEK:

Ben Hamlin, host of Syndicated with Lesley and Ben (among other casted pods), is Employee of the Week, and I’ve made yet another guest appearance! This time, we talked about Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury! We talk about the Prologue, which is an insane rarity – a first episode that is also the best episode of the series. You also get to hear me say some absurd Gundam character names, which I could have done for MUCH longer. You can also hear me talk about a bunch of other shows, like Better Call Saul, Newsradio, Workaholics, and Ugly Americans!

If You Know, You Know

The Patreon preview for this one is about… depression, I guess? Also about the convenience of being able to rewrite dialogue while I’m lettering.

EMPLOYEE OF THE WEEK:

Robbie Dorman is Employee of the Week! He is co-host of The Simpsons Show, the only podcast about The Simpsons, and also the only podcast about The Simpsons that I have done a guest spot on. You should also check out his website to learn about his new novel releases. He writes that good good scary shit. Indie artists need your support now more than ever, so check out his stuff!

Next Week: Is Steve a better information source than B.L. Zebub? Read it early on Patreon!

Boss Baby

The Patreon preview for this strip is about how a podcast talking about the movie Scrooged reframed how I think about B.L. Zebub’s personality.

Thanks to those of you joining us after stopping by my table at Edmonton Expo! I hope you dig the comic and stick around!

Brien is Employee of the Week! Patreon is my most predictable form of income, and even $1 a month is a huge help!

Paper Towels

Next week’s Hell, Inc. comic is number FOUR HUNDRED. WILD. The patreon preview for this strip is mostly me complaining about the current hassles of trying to figure out if I can still mail books to the US and Europe.

EMPLOYEE OF THE WEEK:

Leonardo is Employee of the Week! They supported the creation of Hockeypocalypse: Slashers, and helped make that book possible! Which is good, because Hockeypocalypse continues to be my best seller at conventions.  You can also help me out for as little as $1 a month, because that really adds up when enough people get involved.

Buck Passing

The Patreon preview for this strip is about my writing process, which doesn’t involve saving drafts, so I don’t remember all of the previous attempts to get to this punchline.

Very Normal Usage

The Patreon preview for this strip is about how colour choices effect readability! Patrons at any level can read it.

If you’re in Edmonton, I’ll be selling Hell, Inc. books (and all my other books) at the Cabinet of Curiosities Night Market on Friday, July 18th. Come on out!

EMPLOYEE OF THE WEEK:

Brien is Employee of the Week, and as a patron, can currently read ahead on my next webcomic/graphic novel, Dropkicks & Dragons!

So Close…

It was very fun to draw B.L. Zebub sliding around the corner like an anime character. I just got off the plane returning from Vancouver less than 90 minutes ago. I’m very tired. Thanks to those of you I met at Comix & Stories that have found your way to the comic! Welcome!

EMPLOYEE OF THE WEEK:

Caitlin is Employee of the Week! Hurray! You, too, can be Employee of the Week, by supporting my art on Patreon! Go do that.

Next Week: Doug’s rational explanation is unhelpful. Read it early, and with author commentary, on Patreon!

Attentive

B.L. Zebub is extremely attentive and aware of what’s going on around him. Extremely. The Patreon preview for this strip was about realizing just how many characters there are in Hell, Inc. There are a lot!

I’m Very Good

The Patreon preview for this strip is mostly about the extremely annoying week I’ve had. It’s less insightful to the comics making process, but pretty insightful to being a person who would rather be drawing than dealing with Life Being Expensive.

EMPLOYEE OF THE WEEK:

Trash the Stampede  can be found on the internet at The Word Eater. Now all I can think about is that old computer game Number Munchers, but with words. Maybe I should make that? I have made a video game, Space Jerks, and Patreon patrons got to download it well before anyone else! Patreon is also a predictable source of income, which helps calm the increasingly rough waters of freelancing.

Keeping Janitorial Busy

Early update! It’s because the site needs updating that I need somebody else to do, and have to get up much earlier than normal to teach a comic class on Monday morning. I figure earlier is preferable to posting it mid-afternoon when I get home.

Thank you to everyone who supported Rent-A-Thug – La Cosa Glasnostra on Kickstarter! Now I can stop yelling about it and instead start getting it ready to send out to folks!

EMPLOYEE OF THE WEEK:

Leonardo is Employee of the Week! They supported the creation of Hockeypocalypse: Slashers, and helped make that book possible!  Supporters at the $5/up tiers get to read my graphic novels as I create them, and get a copy at the end! More backers = faster progress, because I currently spend a lot of time freelancing to make money, which is important for being alive. You can also help me out for as little as $1 a month, because that really adds up when enough people get involved.
