Been bugging me all season, but I think I figured it out. Sam Reid's singing as #TheVampireLestat is giving me (both tonally & vibes) Jeff Martin from The Tea Party going from their album Transmission (1997) to their album Triptych (1999). Like listening to Temptation & then to Heaven Coming Down.

it's that time of year again! (I lock myself in the upstairs bathroom, shoveling the contents of an entire costco container of cherries into my mouth at top speed while my equally feral child is attempting to break down the door because he had the same idea and I beat him to it)

I worked on a cover for a kids' novel about sorcery this spring, and it's finally been revealed! The title translates to "The Day I Failed My Sorcery Exam". Written by Jean-Philippe Morasse.

An illustration in purple hues. A teen girl is staring at a mirror, but the person staring back at her isn't her; the mirror is broken into pieces that fall off.

The previous batch of comic pages took forever even outside of Parsnip's medical emergency, so I'm super relieved that I cut this next bath down form 8 to 4 and I'm already inking them! The batch after it is going to be the remaining 4 pages, and I hope I speed through those ones, too. 😭

A little late (thanks Parsnip!), but we've got 6 new pages up at endcomic.com! 👽 #webcomic #indiecomics #comicsky #TheEndComic #sci-fi

read ch25 pages 01-06, updated on 22/06/26

A preview image for our most recent update featuring a bunch of cute little aliens.

I want to apologize to people who need transcripts to read comics--our comic does not have them. It's not that I don't want them, it's that I have been making this comic for 15 years and our archive will require more than 700 pages of transcripts. It's a colossal undertaking that I do not personally have time for, and cannot afford to pay someone to do for me. It's in my goals list, and any new project I make WILL have them as a default, but I am struggling right now and I just do not have the capacity to add this to my plate at the moment.

I try to make sure that every image I post on bsky has descriptive text, but I would feel really awful if someone who needs descriptive text saw that I do that here, only to visit our website and realize we have none. Descriptive text was not on my radar when we started! I wish it had been!

Robin @assumptionprime.bsky.social is running a little game of the Fallout TTRPG and I got to play as Winnie, my fashion ghoul, for the first time

“Winnie Throckmorton-Hoffstadtler-Salazar-Engels” several sketches of a dessecated humanoid woman. Her eyes are sunken, her skin is grey and tattered, her nose is missing. She is wearing bright, colorful outfits, each with a disparate wig and glasses.

Winnie in additional looks, poolside and formal. There are sketches of her in work wear and sort of a club outfit. There is also a sketch of her without her typical accoutrements — without a wig you can see her head is bald save for a few patchy clumps of hair.

Winnie in a pink jumpsuit and work gloves, with goggles and a bright greenish wig. A sketch of a two-headed cow with the name “dolce & gabana (sic)”

Parsnip is home form the vet and has just set the record for the Medically Most Expensive cat in this house, de-throning Ham by about a thousand dollars. Look at this beautiful idiot, and wish him a speedy recovery!

A fluffy black cat with high rusting standing in a sunbeam, trying to will dinner into being two hours earlier than scheduled.

In a lot of pictures, Parsnip, a fluffy black cat, looks huge and majestic, but as you can see (diet Pepsi can for scale) he is actually the smallest cat in this house. He is three years old. He only weighs about 5 pounds and is mostly hair.

A pic of Parsnip hanging out in the cat tree with Dusty, who is currently growling like a mountain lion because Parsnip smells like the vet. He is lazy and cute.

Bonus pic of Parsnip biting Ham, while Ham cries at me to rescue him instead of doing literally anything himself to curb this behaviour. Parsnip is deaf and cannot hear Ham crying, and probably thinks Ham is having a great time.

Parsnip is home from the vet for now! The anti-nausea meds they gave him smell like sour cherries and Ham is afraid of him because he smells weird. They hydrated him via IV, and our job now is to get him eating. If he won't, we go back in for an emergency slot appointment tomorrow.

jon (2017) (1/3)

Warm yellow fancomic cover. A gray toned comic panel of Jon Arbuckle from Garfield lies, as though on a table, in the center of the cover.

JON: a fancomic by gale galligan

PANEL 1
Exterior of a suburban house.
LIZ (off): I promise, you'll have a great time. We've known each other since undergrad, they're all really nice.
JON: But do any of them like polka?

PANEL 2
Liz and Jon prep snacks in the kitchen.
LIZ: Sweetie, nobody likes polka.
JON: Tell that to the international polka association.

PANEL 3
They carry party snacks out of the kitchen.
JON: Remind me: Jody and Evan, Ravi and Dan, Anna?
LIZ: Emma and Cameron.

PANEL 4
Liz sets down a party tray. She glares at a cat in the foreground. The cat yawns. It's Garfield.
LIZ: These are for the guests.

PANEL 1
Garfield eyes the snacks from a couch; a dog, Odie, is drooling over them.
JON (off): So Jody, Ravi, and Emma are vets, Evan's a lawyer, Dan's...
LIZ (off): A social worker, and Cam's an editor. For a science mag, I think.
JON (off): Hoo boy.

PANEL 2
Jon tries to bail; Liz grabs his arm.
JON: I'm gonna go pick out a tie.
LIZ: Come on! They're regular people.

PANEL 3
Liz hugs Jon tight.
JON: I dunno, Liz, it's just -- / it's my first time meeting your friends, and they're all... / I don't want to embarrass you.
LIZ: Jon.

PANEL 4
She takes his face in her hand.
LIZ: They're going to be our friends now.

PANEL 5
They kiss.
SFX: ding dong

PANEL 1
Liz opens the door to reveal Ravi (holding wine and wearing a tie) and Dan (in a snappy turtleneck).
LIZ: Ravi! Dan!
RAVI AND DAN: Liz!

PANEL 2
Ravi hugs Liz.
RAVI: You haven't changed a bit! How's work?
LIZ: Oh, the usual. Tiny dogs everywhere.
RAVI: Don't I know it.

PANEL 3
Ravi shakes hands with Jon; Dan has a hand on Ravi's shoulder.
RAVI: And this must be Jon!
DAN: We've heard so much about you.

PANEL 4
Dan thumps Jon's back; Jon stiffens nervously. Liz walks Ravi into the living room.
LIZ: Come on in! We've got cheese, snacks, a few bottles...

PANEL 5
Liz waves sheepishly over her shoulder at Jon; Jon is gesturing to the place at his collar where a tie WOULD be. We can see Ravi's tie very clearly in the foreground.

This is a cat checkpoint, relinquish your most recent cat picture

Ham, an upset looking grey and white tabby cat is trying to nap in a lap, but unfortunately Parsnip, a fluffy black cat, has decided to also nap, but draped across Ham's neck. Parsnip is blissfully unaware that Ham currently thinks he is the most annoying animal on earth, and Ham decided that napping is less comfortable when your bro is strangling you and left almost immediatley after I took this photo.

Any time I don't post anything anywhere, I feel like it implies I'm just...not working on things. I actually have 2 more design sheets to get to this point of un-finished but my clock is running out and I need to get moving on pages, so here's a quick peep at my last week and a half!

Character design for an upcoming chapter of The End. This inked sketch features a woman of indeterminate age with tanned skin, chin length light coloured hair and an elaborate earring. The background is cream and red graph paper, and I have overlaid the original clean sketch of this character over top of the inks and vibe-based grayscale flats because I like the way it looks.

Character design for an upcoming chapter of The End. This inked sketch features a younger version of established baddie Nola, before she became the Peace Overseer in charge of the Correctors. She has long hair with an undercut, thick eyebrows and while you can only see her from the neck up in this picture, her traps suggest that she could perhaps tear a phonebook in half with her bare hands if she felt like it. The younger version of her is just as ripped as the older version, but with less intimidating fashion choices. The background is cream and red graph paper, and I have overlaid the original clean sketch of this character over top of the inks and vibe-based grayscale flats because I like the way it looks.

Character design for an upcoming chapter of The End. This inked sketch features a woman of indeterminate age with pale skin, a short dark bob haircut and large, round glasses with an unusual frame. The background is cream and red graph paper, and I have overlaid the original clean sketch of this character over top of the inks and vibe-based grayscale flats because I like the way it looks.

Character design for an upcoming chapter of The End. This inked sketch features a person of indeterminate age and gender with dark skin, long dark hair and minimal-but-present makeup. The lines on their face suggest they are a bit older than all of the other designs in this batch. The background is cream and red graph paper, and I have overlaid the original clean sketch of this character over top of the inks and vibe-based grayscale flats because I like the way it looks.

Current mainstream studios have -no- idea how to replicate success because it means actually taking risks. they stumble into it by accident or try to jump on the coat tails of people who do. Then they reap the benefits while avoiding unions and undercutting the very resources that lead to hits.

Kept hearing a weird noise through my noise cancelling headphones and the podcast I was listening to, and it turns out there's a pigeon wandering around across the road and my deaf cat was staring at it from the window next to my chair + making extreme hog noises about them. He is So Sounds.

A quick photoshop doodle of a fluffy cat with a bit of an overbite. His pupils are dilated with Want as he watches pigeons outside the frame of the doodle. The words SNORT SNORT SNORT SNOORT are hastily scrawled next to him.

And for the record? You get over being bad at something really quickly. There is a very thin line between obsessing over whether every panel is a tiny masterpiece and being thankful that a panel is serviceable--that it accomplishes something that needs done. That line is different for everyone, but:

People talk about aging like it's something you should fear in and of itself, and that's wrong. Aging can be quite beautiful. However sooner or later a butt doctor will have to look inside of your butt, and they will make you consume bowel prep solution first. THAT is what you should fear.
