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!

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.

Next Week: Hell, Inc. number 400! Read it early on Patreon!

Crushed It

Helen might have crushed her presentation, but nobody is better at crushing excitement than Doris. I write about Doris’ characterization in the Patreon preview for this strip!

Other things that are crushed include my ability to ship books to large portions of the world, thanks to the GDPR shipping rules in the EU and whatever it is that the US thinks it’s doing. This is a huge problem for the Hell, Inc. Afterlife-time Employment collection, which I’ve been wanting to print for like two years now. Because it’s a horizontally formatted book in full colour, it’s expensive, so I need to print A LOT of them. It’s very rude of the United States to arbitrarily cut off a huge swathe of the audience from being able to order copies.

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!

Next Week: So what’d I miss while I was gone, Helen asks. Read it early on Patreon!

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.

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: How is Helen’s presentation going? Great, right? Read it early on Patreon!

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.

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!

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.

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.
