Here's your #beezyandgrim throwback for today. One day, I'll start drawing new ones...but for now... #webcomic #comicart #beelzebub #grimreaper

Beezy and Grim are standing behind 'the artist'.
"Make me look cool" Grim says
"I'm taller than that" says Beezy
"DID YOU TOUCH HIM" Shouts Beezy.
The 'artist' has collapsed. "Not on purpose" says Grim
"Maybe that's why we have the 4th wall?" says Grim

Today's Beezy and Grim throwback - I really liked this format, but it didn't last long... #webcomic #beelzebub #grimreaper #beezyandgrim

Beezy dictates to a demonic laptop - 'My client recently passed away leaving you as the sole benfidiary ...blah, blah...send me your bank deets! Send it everywhere some idiot is bound to fall for it.
Grim, looking at his computer, "What's this? I have no record of a Herman von Richypants dying! I've missed one! I've destroyed us all!"

Beezy is drawing at a desk. Grim comes along and says, 'Are you still doing your odd little comic? You've done hundreds, well over a thousand about life for mortals. It must be very popular...it would be a huge waste of time otherwise.' Beezy just glares...
