Character: Goran

Performance Reviews

Thanks to everyone who came to my book launch at Audreys Books last week! It was a great event, and I had a blast. The Patreon preview for this post was telling people to come to said event, and also talked about the way the office is set up.

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!

Hear Ye, Hear Ye

This week’s Patreon post is about how I didn’t design the office with addressing everyone in mind, and how I have to work around that.

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!

Not My Job

Merry Christmas, to those who celebrate! The Patreon preview for this strip is about me being bad at spreadsheets.

EMPLOYEE OF THE WEEK:

Cindy Gauthier is Employee of the Week, and you can read her comic on Webtoon! It’s called Posthumous, and is a comic about two friends (who are cool, weird cyborg-things) exploring space and how the things that are in space are often terrifying.

Patreon! It’s a predictable income that I would like to be bigger so I can do less freelance and more stuff that I want to do! You get early access to Hell, Inc. strips, my new ttrpg Big Robots, Big Feelings, and more!

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: Doug puts on his thinking cap. Read it early on Patreon!

The Most Interesting Thing

The Patreon preview for this comic is about workflow, and when I know I’ve gotten comfortable after working on other projects for a long time.

Fire Drill

This week’s Patreon preview is about when to condense an idea, and also how long I’ve been sitting on a joke about a fire drill in Hell.

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! For example, I want to draw another wrestling comic.  Patreon can make that possible! Even $1 goes a long way, and adds up pretty fast when enough readers show their support.

Maybe Overdid It

The Patreon preview for this week’s strip was about the various ways in which the photocopier is humanized, such as barf noises.

On Sunday, July 6th I’m going to be in Vancouver for Comix & Stories, a one day indie comics festival. Come say hi and pick up some books!

EMPLOYEE OF THE WEEK:

Trash the Stampede is Employee of the Week, and can be found on the internet at The Word Eater. Patreon is also a predictable source of income, which helps calm the increasingly rough waters of freelancing, so I very much appreciate the people who support me on it!

Overheated

This week’s Patreon preview is about the Looney Tunes’ influence on my art. If you’re familiar with the Looney Tunes, you’ll know which part of this strip I’m talking about.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by Red Claw Gaming for Free RPG Day this past weekend! It was super busy, and I had a great time telling people about my tabletop RPGs and comics. I’ve got a few more shows coming up, including Comix & Stories in Vancouver on July 6th, and a night market in Edmonton on July 18th!

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 like the aforementioned ones.  You can also help me out for as little as $1 a month, because that really adds up when enough people get involved.

The System Works (for Steve)

The Patreon preview for this strip is about how sometimes I draw way more than I need to, but I think that makes the comic better. Hopefully readers agree!

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! Patrons are going to be able to read a fair amount ahead of the general public when that one launches, and it kicks ass, so please check it out!

Consensus

It’s always good to have things that everyone can agree on. Strange that it’s usually “the guy in charge stinks.” Wonder why that is… The process post (available to patrons at any level) for this strip is about the level of detail needed in the worldbuilding to support Satanic Baseball Simulator.

EMPLOYEE OF THE WEEK:

Caitlin is Employee of the Week, conveniently timed for her birthday! Hurray! Patrons can currently read ahead on my next webcomic/graphic novel, Dropkicks & Dragons! Patrons are going to be able to read a fair amount ahead of the general public when that one launches, and it kicks ass, so please check it out!

Good Day

The Patreon preview for this strip was about the idea of a thing that is supposed to be fun causing you negative emotions. Doug provides a helpful perspective on the matter.
