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!

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.

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.

Next Week: The fire does not improve. Read it early on Patreon!

Great Expectations

The Patreon preview for this one is mostly about how I arrived at the title.

I spent the past weekend at Gamecon Canada, which was a lot of fun. It’s always a bit strange to be at a convention and not be tabling. I was part of the Play On Tabletop narrative 40k event, bringing my Orks to serve as the spare player to ensure there weren’t any byes. I ended up playing in 3 out of the 4 rounds, which made me baffled by the people playing in the 40k Grand Tournament who had 6 or 8 games or something like that over the same time span. My brain would be leaking out of my ears after that many games in a weekend.

EMPLOYEE OF THE WEEK:

Sebastian is Employee of the Week, and you can, too! It’s how I have predictable money, which is both Cool and Good because we live in capitalist hell-world. If everyone who read the comic in a month chipped in $1, I’d be able to turn down most freelance work and focus on doing Hell, Inc. stuff and my own graphic novels!

Doug’s New “Office”

It’s a holiday in Canada, but the demons of Hell, Inc. are still at the office… playing Satanic Baseball Simulator instead of working. I too am at “the office,” because cartoonists don’t get days off. The Patreon preview for this strip was about realizing there were still parts of the office that I hadn’t drawn yet!

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!

“I’m Screwed. Hello.”

The Patreon preview for this week is about the comic strip within a comic strip that almost existed in this comic strip. Comic strip.

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!

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!

… 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!

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.
