Cacti make grumpy pals



Also, those of you who weren't able to see the comic page I posted a few days ago, go to my Devian Art page here: http://elephantblue.deviantart.com/#/d3b2tni

Hope that works!

Here Comes The Nightmare



I did this three page comic as a sort of extra feature. I did it for fun, because I love monsters, but also for practice. I do enough of the same four-panel schtick every week, and I wanted to see if I could break away from that, and from the usual goofiness of the strip. Sometimes it's fun to put your characters in a completely different tone and setting.

I also need serious practice with shading, and I set this as a challenge to see if I could come close to my hero, Jeff Smith's style of dramatic black-only shadowing. I still need a lot of work, but I had fun doing it.

All credit for the ending to this comic goes to my big sister, :iconlily-fox: who actually used to do this with her Calvin and Hobbes books to ward off monsters as a kid. I fully believe it would work.

I sure wish you guys would whine more


Sorry I am so late! I didn't wind up finishing last week's comic in time for a lot of different reasons, most of which seem lame, but really honestly count as legitimate excuses. Thanks for your patience -- although, it frankly would be flattering to get an inbox full of complaints whenever I miss a day. Just sayin'.

Oh em gee. Two effing hundred.


Okay, so 200 comic strips is just a drop in the bucket to most real cartoonists. For those who do dailies, it doesn't even amount to a year's work. But for me, this is a big number, worth over four years of steady drawing and writing, and continually trying to be better. True, I have a readership of maybe two dozen and make nary a dime from this crazy monster strip, but hey, at least it's fun. Here's hoping you've been having fun also.Maybe, if I'm lucky, we'll all make it to three hundred.
