Character: Harry

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!

Next Week: B.L. Zebub is not amused. Read it early, and with author commentary, on Patreon!

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!

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!

Next Week: Maybe B.L. Zebub won’t notice? Read it early, and with author commentary, on Patreon!

Copier Defusal

The Patreon preview for this strip is about my own relationship with workplace photocopiers, which were generally not positive. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who loves the office copier.

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, new comics like Dropkicks & Dragons, 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: Maybe we’re overworking the copier? Read it early on Patreon!

Toner it Down

One of the fun things about drawing this comic is that action sequences involve things like using the printer. It’s very absurd, which I enjoy a lot. The Patreon preview for this strip is about how I’m bad at organizing my reference materials.

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!

You can also help out Hell, Inc. for free by clicking the banner below to vote on Top Webcomics, which you can do daily! It helps make the comic more visible to webcomic readers!

Next Week: The toner needs changing, and everyone wishes they had a bomb suit. Read it early on Patreon!

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!

Next Week: What’s happening with Sara’s orientation? I bet it’s going super great and they’re using the time well. Read it early, and with author commentary, on Patreon!

 

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!

Next Week: The simulating BEGINS. Imagine that with the Mortal Kombat voice. Read it early, and with author commentary, on Patreon!

 

… How?

Doug is probably going to need to fill in the steps between “play Satanic Baseball Simulator” and “steal office supplies,” huh? The Patreon preview for this strip is about how comics are able to use space and non-literal image techniques in storytelling.

Exciting news! I’m launching another webcomic in a few weeks, called Dropkicks & Dragons. You can read the first 10 pages on my Patreon right now, with more on the way for subscribers!

EMPLOYEE OF THE WEEK:

Trash the Stampede is Employee of the Week, and can be found on the internet at The Word Eater. They could also be found next to me at my last market of the year, which was last week! 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!

Next Week: Doug explains how stealing office supplies leads to a Satanic Baseball Simulator league. Read it early, and with author commentary, on Patreon!

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.

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.

Next Week: Doug starts concocting a plan to slack even harder. Read it early on Patreon!

A Glimpse of Alternate Universes

The Patreon preview for this strip is about the problems that occasionally arise with having months between drawing strips of the same comic. Sometimes that muscle memory isn’t quite as good as you’d like it to be, much like regular memory.

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, new comics, 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: Bridget is extremely helpful, she thinks. Read it early on Patreon!
