um. It's not funny. It's not supposed to be funny.
Aren't comics supposed to be funny? It's not really a comic.
Well, what it is then? I can't define it in terms of what it is, I can only define it in terms of what it is not.
What is the concept? A while back I had this idea of telling an entire story in just two sentences, kinda like a haiku, but two sentences instead of 17 syllables and with some semblence of plot. So I wrote a bunch of them down, but nobody really cared. Then somebody gave me a copy of photoshop and I thought maybe some photos might make the stories go down a bit easier. You are supposed to be able to use each comic as a jumping off point to create an entire world/characters/storyline in your head. If you feel like thinking that is.
What are the main themes? It's about what it feels like to be a monster/ghost/robot/toy/etc. but not the scary kind. It's about being frightened of war and what you might turn into when you grow up if you aren't careful. It's about loss and longing and love and hope and being small and scared of a big world and not knowing your place in it and wanting to belong but always being on the outside and not being sure that God loves you but really hoping he does even though pretty much everyone else thinks you are a weirdo. Stuff like that.
How often is it updated? There is a new comic every Monday. It would be more, but I don't really want to work that hard. One a week is about all I can manage.
I dont like pushing buttons, is there an RSS feed that will automatically send me the comic? Surprisingly yes! The RSS feed can be found here! You can also just sign up for updates on the Facebook page or the twitter.
What equipment is used to create it? I shoot mostly on Nikkon bodies and a variety of lenses. Some processing and minimal formatting with Photoshop.
Where's the ads, merch, subscription fees, etc? I have enough money. I don't need to bother with any of that. I have decided to sell out a little bit and offer framed prints of the comics, but I don't really expect anyone to actually buy them. It's more so I can brag to people how I sell art on the internet.
Who is the author? Just some guy, he's not important.
Why all the anonymity? The idea was freeform self-expression, not money or fame. If I charge people money (or eyeballs) there is an expectation that they will receive something of value in return. If I publicize myself and talk about how cool I am for having an avant-garde online comic, then I open myself up to criticism that I'm not as cool as I think I am. By gaining nothing and remaining anonymous and non-profit, then I'm under no obligation to entertain you. If you want to like it, you can, if you think it sucks, that's fine too. You can criticize the work, but you can't criticize me because I'm not gaining anything by creating it.
So no one knows who you are? It's not like its a big secret or anything, I'm sure you could figure it out if you really wanted to. But I don't tell people about it really. My mom probably knows.
I think you are sexy, how do I contact you? You can email me at:
Can I use the comics somewhere? Yes. This entire site is public domain. Just don't claim that you are me because that interferes with the whole anonymity zeitgeist I've set up.
Your comic is a blatant ripoff of this other comic. Everything in this world is similar to other things. There are only a limited number of new ideas. This comic is not the first to use photos instead of drawings, or not be funny, or not have recurring characters, but that doesn't mean it's not unique in it's own way. Would you say Calvin & Hobbes is a ripoff of Peanuts because they both deal with an unpopular kid and his talking pet?
It's still not funny. No, it isn't funny. Sorry.
