Gah we’ve been so busy the last few weeks! Will resume posting some of our backlog this week. In the meantime, here’s a peep at a new comic we’re working on

New comic coming soon!

Flan and Pandan are standing in front of a scenic nature spot

Flan: “look at all the new art!”
Pandan: “WOW!”

#16 - reality cheque it do be like that sometimes 🥲 #webcomic #artph

“Food is happiness” says Flan as she and Tort are finishing up a nice meal at a restaurant leaving just the bones of some seafood and empty pots and plates when the bill arrives.

Flan picks the bill up. Seeing the total at ₱3921, she’s worried and sweating.

She opens her wallet, empty

Tort opens his wallet and a fly escapes exclaiming “i’m free!”

Flan, accepting her fate, leans her head against her hand on the table with tears in her eyes.

“Happiness is fleeting” she reflects

#15 - aroma therapy she just needs to stop being poor, ez (literally my cat when she hears the autofeeder) #webcomic #artph

Flan and Tort continue to walk through the bazaar.

“Being broke sucks” Flan laments, looking tired

“Yeah” replies Tort as he fiddles with the last of their supply fund

Flan grabs Tort by the collar, shaking him lightly as she complains “I work so hard but all my money goes to taxes!! And bills!! Then taxes AND bills!!!”

“Money can’t buy happiness?” Replies Tort trying to console her

“SILENCE!!!” Flan exclaims as she shakes Tort harder

“I know money can’t buy happiness! But it can buy… sniff sniff”, Flan abruptly stops as she smells a delicious waft coming from off screen

“FOOD!!” Flan yells as she runs off with a particularly fish-shaped sparkle in her eyes.

Tort gets up and chases after her while calling out “Flan!! Wait up!”

#14 - potion seller (part 2) a strong immune system makes a strong adventurer #webcomic #artph

Flan falls to her knees and begs the potion seller, “Please! I saved up for this for soo loooong!!!”

Tort catches up, unamused at the blatant lie, “It’s my money”

Flan ignores him, “SOOOOO LOOOOONG!!!”

The potion seller, a bit annoyed, pulls out and hands over a flask with a bright orange potion, “Fine!! Fin. Here’s a potion of… uhhh… multivitamins.”

“Yes!! We’ll take it!!!” Says Flan, with sparkles in her eyes hands over a handful of coins

Tort, horrified she’d spend their whole supply budget, screams out “MY MONEY!!!”

“Mission Accomplished!” Says Flan, proud of herself

“My money…” says a crying Tort, still incredulous she’d blow the whole budget on one potion

Flan follows up, “It’s bubblegum flavor!!”

#13 - potion seller potion sellers reserve the right to refuse service to adventurers below a certain weight threshold 🧪 (also iykyk) #webcomic #artph

Tort is counting coins, “This is our supply budget.”

Flan’s interest is piqued, a sparkle in her eye, “with this money, I can buy…”

“POTION OF STRENGTH”

Flan’s imagination takes over. She poofs into a chad muscle-y version of her. “Muscles! Oh yeah!”

Flan starts running off, excited to buy potions, “Nothing can stop me now!! I’ll be SO STRONG!”

Tort yells out to her, “ you’ll blow our whole budget!”

Flan ignores him continuing to run off laughing and screaming, “THE STRONGEST!! Nyehehehehehe”

Flan arrives at the potion seller’s stand. The potion seller immediately swipes the potion she was about to grab saying, “NO. My potions are too strong for you, tiny one. You can’t handle them.

Flan is distraught, “NOOOOOOOO!!”

#12 - tort’s moves he’s coping with financial anxiety in his own way, okay! #webcomic #artph

Flan jumps from her chair exclaiming: “show me your moves!”

Tort pulls out his arnis sticks yelling: “OKAY!”

Tort slams the ground with both his sticks screaming the name of his signature attacks

“STUDENT DEBT SMASHER! SURPRISE WINDFALL!!”

He punches the air and ₱ signs fill the air while he screams

“FINANCIAL INSTABILITY PUNCH! INSTANT CASHFLOW!”

Flan, a bit unimpressed, ironically says “do you REALLY have to shout?? Also, weird names.”

Tort flips his head-feathers back: “eh, it’s cathartic”

#11 - tort joins the party! he is a bird of many words and he likes sticks 🐥 #webcomic #artph

The pigeon-looking guy introduces himself as Tort and flan are seated having finished listen to flan’s explanation off-screen… also flan’s chewing on tort’s cards

Tort: “ so that’s what happened, huh? Please don’t chew those…”

Flan stands up urgently, trying to get Tort to join her party: “I require your magic cards, benevolent bird!!”

Tort: “oh these? They’re not magic, magic!

This is a competitive card game and the goal is to reduce your opponent’s life points from 100 to 0 by summoning a bunch of monsters in one turn, casually — mana and — estioning — system, making sure you watered the greebles — happiness — pettiness — each player’s turn …” (you get the point, flan’s also not listening)

Flan slams the table in disappointment, cards flying everywhere: “NOOOOOOOOO!!! I’m a failure!! I’m going bankrupt! I’m going to jaaaaail!!!”

Tort is taken aback but still relatively calm

Tort pulls out an arnis stick: “i can fight with my sticks, though!”

Flan, bombastically side-eyeing him: “you used SO MANY WORDS — you should’ve started with that!!!”

#10 - the magick gathering yep those are definitely words and flan only understood one 😵‍💫 (fun fact tcg players are born with an extra braincell dedicated to reading and understanding mechanics) (OMG THE ALT TEXT WHY DID WE DO THIS TO OURSELVES) #webcomic #artph

Flan walks by a shop in the local bazaar and a pigeon-looking guy sitting at a bench with a deck of cards in her hand catches her attention

Pigeon-looking guy pulls our some cards and begins reading and planning a strategy: “let’s see…

I can cast blazing vortex at quick spell speed and chain a cold wave which will allow me to summon a snow faerie familiar which i can then tribute for the ritual requirement of the great fae king oberon who has he ability to special summon 5 fae populi to my field in defense position—“

Flan slowly approaches him, curious

Pigeon-looking guy continues: “ and furthermore each of them have the effect to generate 5 mana on summon without any further cost which i’ll then use to charge up SEALED MAGIC ULTIMA for my next tu—“

Flan, right behind him and having only heard the last part clearly, gasps: “ A WIZARD?!”

Flan points at and gets the attention of the pigeon-looking guy saying; “You can do magic! Please join my party!”

Pigeon-looking guy turns to look at flan, still holding his cards: “ what?”

The premise of my best performing post on the other site - by a lot - was "cat licks butt" Huh.

A comic depicting a dumpling-shaped cat grooming her behind. She is suddenly struck by some kind of profound thought. She stares off into space, pondering the mysteries of universe. Then she resumes grooming.

#9 - job accepted! in her defense, A looks like a 4 if you squint really hard? (also always double check your contracts) #webcomic #artph

Flan is happily cheering in the tavern with a contract in hand

Flan: “i got a job! Yay! Yaaaay!”

Flan: “hehehe… i’m gonna do SO WELL. I’m gonna be RICH! I can eat MEAT! Nyehehe”

Flan snickers as she takes another look at the contract

Close up on the contract, flan’s thumb obscures the first letter so we only see “-man part required! Or else!!! Penalty: ₱10,000”. She notices this

Flan: “wait, hold on…”

Flan sees that the contract said 4-man party. She’s devastated and prostrating with a dramatic spotlight and ghosts of her internal screaming hovering over her

Flan: “4-MAN PARTY?! I thought it said ‘A’ man party! I’m so stupid i have no friends and no money noooooooooooooooo”

Some samples of the character page spreads in the Lackadaisy Essentials art book. Laying out my comics for print is kind of a nightmare (of my own making). The art book was a whole next level of challenging, but I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Page spread samples from the Lackadaisy Essentials book, a collection of art and comics. Image depicts text and art collages for Ivy Pepper, Rocky Rickaby, and Freckle McMurray.

#8 - the job hunt flan knows her job listing red flags 🚩 #webcomic #artph

Flan is standing in front of a tavern job board full of papers for recent job offers and advertisements. She’s intently looking for her next job

Flan: “hmm…”

Close up on a few ads on the job board. They look a bit suspicious…

“Do you love overtime? ₱1/hr”
“Work, play, join, FAMILY”
“We’re NOT traffickers”
“Do you have what it takes?”

Some more close ups of suspicious job listings…

“Fast paced! High stress! Low pay! Join the family!”
“1 century experience”
“We’re NOT a cult”
“I love my job”
“Unpaid internships”

“Wellp, i guess it’s instant noodles for me again tonight!”

Says flan as she walks away with an awkward smile and trying to look far off in the distance

Flan stretching in her sleeping bag after waking up

Floating text: “waking 🐱up!!”
Flan: “good morning world!!”

A yellow mail bird flies by and drops off a letter to flan

Floating text: “getting the mail!”
Mail bird: “cru!”
Flan: “good morning mister mail guy bird!!”

Flan opens the letter and begins to read it, horrified

Flan: “W H A T”
Floating text: “reading the mail!”

It’s her tax bill… the letter reads — ye olde taxes, pay or go to jail!! Dang you got a lot of taxes!

Extreme close up on an angry yelling Flan

Flan: “NOW I’M REALLY GOING TO DEFEAT THE RAT KING!!”
