Character: B.L. Zebub

Judge Who?

This week’s Patreon preview was about sound occupying space in comics, and how that effects its usage.

Speaking of Patreon, I recently uploaded the first 23 pages of my next graphic novel, MUSCLE GALAXY, which are available to read for FREE! Check it out!

EMPLOYEE OF THE WEEK:

Barrie Deatcher is Employee of the Week, which means they are one of the folks helping support Hell, Inc. and my other non-freelance art endeavours! Patreon can make that possible! Even $1 goes a long way, and adds up pretty fast when enough readers show their support.

You can also support Hell, Inc. for free by telling your friends about it, because that is infinitely better than any promotion I can do. Also voting on Top Webcomics by clicking the banner below is very helpful!

Next Week: I can’t remember because I haven’t drawn it yet! Read it early on Patreon!

New Scorpions

The Patreon preview for this strip is about scorpions as a comedy tool in Hell, Inc. and elsewhere!

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!

Goose Steve

This week’s Patreon preview provides some insight into the role of first drafts in my writing and design process. $1 and above Patreon subscribers get access to author commentaries like that on every strip! I also forgot to mention in it that the only goose I know how to draw is the one from Untitled Goose Game.
