Dec 30 | “Or a car air freshener or whatever.” |
Dec 29 | Spoiler: Downy does not learn his lesson. |
Dec 28 | Nobody really knows why Baba keeps making those. |
Dec 27 | Whether or not Manea actually has a soul is a matter of some debate. |
Dec 26 | Aunt Nancy is everyone’s favorite aunt. |
Dec 23 | I almost forgot three of my main characters while making this. That’s where I’m at. |
Dec 22 | One wonders when and how Bloodsport read Dickens. |
Dec 21 | There are so many things people ask Yont to stop doing. |
Dec 20 | Nimmo might sound braggy, but his gift giving is pretty on point. |
Dec 19 | “It is my greatest weakness and my greatest strength.” |
Dec 16 | “I stand corrected.” |
Dec 15 | Nothing doing doing nothing. |
Dec 14 | That’s at least the second time I’ve used the word “miasma” in this comic. |
Dec 13 | Hats are good presents for superheroes because it brings the possibility of “alternate costume” toys. |
Dec 12 | I’m not clear on the type of medical professionals Whos have. Shamans? They might have shamans. |
Dec 9 | That dragon was a jerk. |
Dec 8 | Filler Art: Hat Trick! |
Dec 7 | Chompers keeps his “no” stick around just for this reason. |
Dec 6 | Manea is expecting a rough weekend, and wants to prevent that somehow. |
Dec 5 | Comedy’s ideal life happens to someone else. |
Dec 2 | “My pain represents my regret.” |
Dec 1 | This might be the best exit for any character I’ve ever written. |
Nov 30 | They’re not wrong. |
Nov 29 | A bunch of rabbits stuck in bubblegum like it’s amber is not very scary. |
Nov 28 | “I set it up like it’d be funny, but it was just kind of sad.” |
Nov 25 | Filler Art Friday: Friggin’ Rabbits, Man. |
Nov 24 | Duchess Cottontale really took that “fought gods” thing at face value, huh? |
Nov 23 | Those rabbits are dangerously close to becoming regular cast members. |
Nov 22 | Nothing scary in this basement. Just a couple rabbits looking to start a hive mind. |
Nov 21 | Rick has never been in a secret basement, but he’s pretty sure this isn’t how they usually work. |
Nov 18 | Rabbits technically aren’t rodents, but Lord Downy doesn’t care. |
Nov 17 | Everything sounds ominous coming from a giant rabbit. That’s just science. |
Nov 16 | SUBTLETY. |
Nov 15 | Rick is having fun. |
Nov 14 | Tiny shark friend: your little friend with a big bite!TM |
Nov 11 | Downy is jealous. A magical monocle would be right in his aesthetic. |
Nov 10 | The Duchess cuts an imposing figure. |
Nov 9 | “Count Bloodwing” was the most trustworthy name he could think of. |
Nov 8 | That’s right. Take a long, hard look at your ridiculous names. |
Nov 7 | At some point I’m going to spell Cottontale wrong. Keep an eye out for that, Vida. |
Nov 4 | Lord Downy will use that money for crimes! |
Nov 3 | Remember Nimmo’s dad, everyone? He’s the worst. |
Nov 2 | What if Nimmo was inexplicably in the final panel of every comic from now on? World peace, I think. |
Nov 1 | Teleport dust! I guess it’s a thing tadpoles have. |
Oct 31 | I’m going to dub Manea and Chompers’ costumes “past mistakes.” |
Oct 28 | Man, this is just another time that everything ends in stabbing. |
Oct 27 | I don’t understand their games. |
Oct 26 | Well. This seems completely safe and will definitely end well. |
Oct 25 | “They said that about great thinkers, a title you don’t qualify for.” |
Oct 24 | I should bookmark this as a perfect picture of their relationship dynamic. |
Oct 21 | Gardening, psh. Neither of those two could handle that excitement. |
Oct 20 | Pandora’s basically a more capable Rick, so Comedy’s ranking is pretty well founded. |
Oct 19 | Gods can conceive of some really good ice cream. |
Oct 18 | Dick has been waiting to say that for three days now. |
Oct 17 | Manea’s darkest moments actually happen fairly frequently. |
Oct 14 | It’s just as well. Stick figures shouldn’t be doing finger guns, in general. |
Oct 13 | Meanwhile, in Manea’s head, she’s riding a kraken on the moon. |
Oct 12 | Aw geez first she’s rhyming now she’s crying I DIDN’T SIGN UP FOR THIS, MANEA. |
Oct 11 | Manea is always ready to spout some freestyle poetry. Manea’s ready for a lot of things. |
Oct 10 | Who’s his competition? Hades? Odin? Get real, guys. |
Oct 7 | Careful, Nimmo! That hat is questionably canon. |
Oct 6 | Filler Art: Hero Hangout |
Oct 5 | Manea’s happy place is not a good place to not be Manea. |
Oct 4 | Dick’s proclivity for postcards is well documented. |
Oct 3 | Nimmo can put on a ninja hood in no time flat. That’s a big part of being a ninja. |
Sep 30 | Cards on the table, Chompers thought they were going to be doing something else. |
Sep 29 | Also, you might meet an alchemist whose life is a metaphor for yours! Fun! |
Sep 28 | His wing was broken in twelve places. It was hilarious. |
Sep 27 | Smooth. |
Sep 26 | This was a failed experiment. These two both hide and don’t see each other for weeks. |
Sep 23 | Filler Art Friday: Chompers in the Rain |
Sep 22 | It’s okay. Yesterday was pretty boring, anyway. |
Sep 21 | Manea needed to talk to Nimmo and little things like time and space weren’t about to stop her. |
Sep 20 | This happens at least twice a month. |
Sep 19 | Nimmo’s pretty sure his dad wasn’t a sociopath before he put on that crown. |
Sep 16 | It’s good for stories to have morals. |
Sep 15 | It’s very unlikely Adorable Zombie Head is biting his eyes. Those are… kisses. |
Sep 14 | Manea’s not concerned with suddenly being in some dude’s summoning circle. He doesn’t have to be rude about it, though. |
Sep 13 | Dick is having fun. |
Sep 12 | Yeah, that’s right. It was this dude the whole time. No, he still doesn’t get a name. |
Sep 9 | Filler Art Friday: Sleeper Hold Fights Demons |
Sep 8 | Dick has been a hero for just over a year and he’s got “getting captured” down. |
Sep 7 | It’s the green skin. It makes it so hard to tell. |
Sep 6 | For all anyone knows Sleeper was TRYING to say, “Don’t leave me here with all these demons.” |
Sep 5 | Jump Start picked an exceptionally baggy superhero costume, and she has no regrets. |
Sep 2 | Dick’s hand can turn into a cross, and dammit, he’s gonna use it! |
Sep 1 | Dracula’s actually pretty enamored with Manea. She finds this hilarious. |
Aug 31 | Sure, Sleeper Hold can repair magical brooms. That’s just a skill that he has. |
Aug 30 | Sleeper Hold is not afraid to go for the cheap laugh. |
Aug 29 | Dick spent a good few months as a vagrant, and having a permanent home still feels weird. |
Aug 26 | I don’t regret the rhyming voice. And I am who matters. |
Aug 25 | The inside of Dick’s mind is a pretty cool place nowadays. |
Aug 24 | Just putting this here so you guys know who’s low-key wondering if they should kill someone. |
Aug 23 | Tragedy’s not reading that whole wall of text. He’s got stuff to do. |
Aug 22 | Look, you can’t make a giant masseur without cracking a few spines. |
Aug 19 | There are many things you need a butt to do. |
Aug 18 | Yont makes his decisions out loud and in the moment, like a true professional. |
Aug 17 | Satan’s Instagram is insufferable. |
Aug 16 | The Theater Bats are still sore about that family thing. They’ll be spending Thanksgiving with them. |
Aug 15 | Lord Downy didn’t inherit his title by working for it! |
Aug 12 | Filler Art: Adorable Zombie Head vs. Bloodsport |
Aug 11 | It’s important for any description of Manea to be a touch creepy. |
Aug 10 | The punchline is SADNESS. |
Aug 9 | Tragedy’s just still thinking about having stuffed his face over the weekend. |
Aug 8 | “Everything’s fine if we don’t examine it too closely.” |
Aug 5 | Filler Art: Marshmallow Roast |
Aug 4 | Baba does not have a lot of one-on-one time with Manea, and that’s how she likes it. |
Aug 3 | The Theater Bats sleep outside all the time, anyway. |
Aug 2 | Roux gets things done. |
Aug 1 | Personally, I think Rick’s pretty composed for a guy being ferried around by rats. |
Jul 29 | I have too many international readers to have just made that joke. |
Jul 28 | Someone is going to have to fish Roux out of Bloodsport, though. |
Jul 27 | Downy has a lot of people who hate him, but shockingly few who’ve made the decision to kill him. |
Jul 26 | Baba hates The Notebook. |
Jul 25 | Playing Three Blind Mice to charm rats is only distantly ironic anyway, so they’re probably safe. |
Jul 22 | Pretty sure what just happened is a sign of the end times. |
Jul 21 | Rick’s been thrust into the hero role too often for his taste. |
Jul 20 | Manea does not have a lot of healthy relationships with other women. |
Jul 19 | That’s what I’m saying every time I leave a room from now on. |
Jul 18 | Very few citizens of the Cute Plane have heads for the tedious work of community infrastructure. |
Jul 15 | Burning things down is kind of Yont’s go to move. |
Jul 14 | Possibly Roux knew exactly what she was doing. Possibly she just wanted those rats. |
Jul 13 | Tragedy has, in canon, eaten some gross stuff. |
Jul 12 | In Rick’s experience, cats and zombies are basically fearless. |
Jul 11 | Making a song featuring both bees and teeth sounds…daunting. |
Jul 8 | Roux, meanwhile, is sleeping. |
Jul 7 | In any case, this teen romance game has gotten out of hand. |
Jul 6 | Hair does often get me existential. |
Jul 5 | That fridge is canonically six months old, and that mold has been growing in it the whole time. |
Jul 4 | Vacation Photos with Adorable Zombie Head |
Jul 1 | The joke here is that everyone else understands. EVERYONE. |
Jun 30 | Rick just doesn’t get why he keeps coming over if he can’t play the games. |
Jun 29 | Owls don’t have tear ducts, and Manea does not care. |
Jun 28 | Well, it’s nice to know that they think of me. I guess. |
Jun 27 | Yup, that’s the joke I went for. Grabbed right onto that low hanging fruit. |
Jun 24 | Quit being so gosh darned adorable, you two. |
Jun 23 | Pretty sure I stole that joke from Firefly, but Rick’s definitely seen Firefly, so that’s fine. |
Jun 22 | A hug is a promise to let go. |
Jun 21 | “Like, at least as intelligent as a horse.” |
Jun 20 | Manea has never played tennis, she’s just seen Chompers do it. |
Jun 17 | Yeah, but who doesn’t? |
Jun 16 | Yont’s really ramping up his indifference today. |
Jun 15 | Aphrodite would know about Chompers if she didn’t skip all of Manea’s life that wasn’t romance. |
Jun 14 | “Love mystery” is a bit of a strong term, but Aphrodite likes to throw herself into her work. |
Jun 13 | Baba has all kinds of stories that we never hear about. |
Jun 10 | The secret to dealing with blood sorcerers is making yourself appear bigger than them. |
Jun 9 | The best stuff in today’s comic clearly happened off-panel. |
Jun 8 | It is also cloudy, though, yes. |
Jun 7 | Rick doesn’t think The Iliad is a particularly historically accurate story, but it still gives him pause. |
Jun 6 | Nimmo has OPINIONS. About BAD MOVIE TROPES. |
Jun 3 | Aphrodite does not do frank, down-to-earth conversations. She does seduction and antics. |
Jun 2 | Is cheesecake a recurring gag if the only joke is that it exists? |
Jun 1 | Nimmo also broke a death god’s nose once. So that was cool. |
May 31 | To be fair, Aphrodite was being intentionally gross. |
May 30 | “Hi” count: 4. “Nope” count: 13. Updates as events warrant. |
May 27 | Filler Art Friday: The Tennis Match |
May 26 | Don’t ask me how Downy managed to apply two different dyes. Maybe Bloodsport helped. |
May 25 | Rick’s idea sounds super boring. There’s a reason he doesn’t write the comic. |
May 24 | Bringing someone to the eighties would be a really expensive way to Rickroll them. |
May 23 | The Champions’ rogues gallery is quickly getting out of hand. |
May 20 | Yont will never be good at not poisoning people, but we all have our flaws. |
May 19 | Gralik is having a bad afterlife. |
May 18 | I have no idea what potion Baba was brewing, or if this was the desired result. |
May 17 | Manea has always kind of wanted a bed of living blood. |
May 16 | “Other kids draw more than one thing, guy.” |
May 13 | To be fair, they thought of a bear. A bear would have worked. |
May 12 | Don’t you DARE make Charon obsolete, guys! He’s my best source of dry humor. |
May 11 | You’d think Pandora would care more about the frozen guy, but she’s pretty busy talking about string. |
May 10 | Every friend the Theater Bats have is troublesome. This is the nature of friendship. |
May 9 | Feryal’s asking the hard questions today. |
May 6 | “Tell her you learned it reading. Reading’s wholesome as fuck.” |
May 5 | Anansi is great. He has never questioned this fact. |
May 4 | “Souri, where did you get that bear? This is a magical cage-house.” |
May 3 | Merry and Anang are the hobos of talking. |
May 2 | Anansi has no interest in being taken seriously anyway. |
Apr 29 | Filler Art Friday: Anansi’s Web |
Apr 28 | Sadi was always the smart one. And the sad one, incidentally. |
Apr 27 | The Theater Bats react to tears like normal people react to giant spiders. |
Apr 26 | Anansi isn’t talking to himself, he’s talking to you. Because he is a professional storyteller. |
Apr 25 | Anansi doesn’t whisper because he’s a foot tall spider, and subterfuge is basically out the window already. |
Apr 22 | They have a garage because it’ll get parents to buy the add-on car. That’s how they get you. |
Apr 21 | Anansi is having a good time. |
Apr 20 | Anansi had to get that second pair of sunglasses specially made. He’s never regretted it. |
Apr 19 | I’m more surprised by anyone that they responded to criticism. |
Apr 18 | Nimmo just plays with empty bags sometimes. What? You’re not better than him. |
Apr 15 | Manea does not consider herself an animal person. |
Apr 14 | Chompers cannot relate. |
Apr 13 | Comedy is very secure in his ability to make jokes. Possibly he should not be. |
Apr 12 | It’s not even maimed. This is bullshit. |
Apr 11 | Lord Downy would be offended if he had any thoughts of other people at all. |
Apr 8 | The deal is they’re GROSS. |
Apr 7 | Science fact: surprisingly many points can be made with a cat on your face. |
Apr 6 | Nimmo was briefly way too into memes. It was very annoying. |
Apr 5 | The Seventies: too many laser related deaths? |
Apr 4 | Writing poetry had simply not occurred to Hades until he found out a crazy person was doing it. |
Apr 1 | Yont’s just got a ton of those wigs laying around. |
Mar 31 | Ha! He WISHES he was a duke. |
Mar 30 | Tragedy has a pragmatic approach to medicine. |
Mar 29 | Rick has no idea Manea does either of those things. |
Mar 28 | Not to be confused with Megalomanea, Manea’s final form. |
Mar 25 | As we all know, blood always has useful things to say. |
Mar 24 | Nimmo was just resting his eyes. It’s important that you know that. |
Mar 23 | “Do you like elephants?” |
Mar 22 | He’ll do it, too. |
Mar 21 | Lord Downy: the worst owl? More at eleven. |
Mar 18 | Hey, there’s no talking cat in this comic! This SUCKS. |
Mar 17 | Nimmo is done with this conversation. |
Mar 16 | Impotent rage is an ugly color, Baba. |
Mar 15 | This does seem like a “witch” sort of problem, but Baba’s a bit limited in that department right now. |
Mar 14 | When there’s a large piece of wood in your chest, you start appreciating how your situation could be funnier. |
Mar 11 | Baba is not used to having legs that short. |
Mar 10 | Her roommate is a jerk. That’s just fact. |
Mar 9 | This might be the first time I’ve used “egads” in a comic, which is a shame. |
Mar 8 | Still better than the time they just made funny noises for four panels. |
Mar 7 | Let’s face it, her explanation could have been much more dire. |
Mar 4 | Nimmo just accepted that sad clown comment like it was nothing. |
Mar 3 | “I am very disappointed by the lack of aliens in most other books.” |
Mar 2 | Very few roommates are so bad that your living room fills with blood. This is a fundamental truth. |
Mar 1 | Manea has opinions. |
Feb 29 | Then everyone died. |
Feb 26 | “Okay, some days I’m pretty proud.” |
Feb 25 | One wonders why someone would need such a bag for anything, let alone a trip to Mexico. |
Feb 24 | Streak is pretty much done right now. |
Feb 23 | Green Ninja’s dad hasn’t met a problem he couldn’t banish. |
Feb 22 | Sleeper Hold is silently complaining about his day to Adorable Zombie Head, but you wouldn’t know it. |
Feb 19 | Cybernetic arms can solve basically any problem. |
Feb 18 | Green Ninja is being more “annoying” than “heroic.” |
Feb 17 | Green Ninja pretty much already thought Bloodwing was crazy, though. |
Feb 16 | Both Manea and Dick are feeling pretty proud of themselves. |
Feb 15 | Dick will talk about Bloodsport like he’s a giant penis forever if I let him. |
Feb 12 | “What a weirdly phallic pillar of blood,” I write, wondering where I went ̶w̶r̶o̶n̶g̶ right. |
Feb 11 | Streak moves like a ballet dancer. This is because of a dance based supervillain battle a few years back. |
Feb 10 | “Put me in, coach! …Doctor. Doctor Coach.” |
Feb 9 | Secretly, Streak’s pretty impressed with himself. |
Feb 8 | I was worried Jump Start wouldn’t do enough in this storyline, but she’s got this covered. |
Feb 5 | Dick doesn’t need to hear Bloodwing’s life story. He’s got stuff to do. |
Feb 4 | Manea is pretty sure betraying her friends would be a ton of fun. |
Feb 3 | Let’s face it, you want a blood sword now. That’s natural. |
Feb 2 | This is all going very well. Blood magic is definitely weaksauce in this universe. |
Feb 1 | Dick was pretty sure he’d seen all magic: the red kind and the blue kind. |
Jan 29 | The design decision here was more blood. Villains get more blood. |
Jan 28 | Green Ninja is annoyingly good at his job. |
Jan 27 | Dick probably shouldn’t complain about other people’s paleness, frankly. |
Jan 26 | That’s good advice for life, too. |
Jan 25 | The scientific method results in blood snakes 100% of the time. FACT. |
Jan 22 | I’m as surprised as anyone that Doctor Science has a medical degree. |
Jan 21 | Someone needs to tell Marea that dress totally clashes with her complexion. |
Jan 20 | If everyone found the prospect of being punched in the face pleasant, that would explain how superhero dimensions get formed. |
Jan 19 | Truth be told, Dick’s grasp of “morality and junk” still isn’t great. |
Jan 18 | I can’t see “talkative inside out sheep” being a very popular character, either. |
Jan 15 | Filler Art: Pool Day |
Jan 14 | Nimmo takes his TV time very seriously. |
Jan 13 | Guys, that punchline is way too deep a cut, and no one will find it funny on its own. |
Jan 12 | As usual, Chompers has to fix everything. For instance, he’s probably going to put that egg back. |
Jan 11 | That was a sick burn, Yont. |
Jan 8 | “The stabbing thing is getting old.” |
Jan 7 | Tell me more of this moon temple, customer service golem. |
Jan 6 | Customer service golem is dedicated to its job. |
Jan 5 | Baba was pretty cool back when she was a devil worshipper with a mysterious coloring book. |
Jan 4 | Kitchen destruction: my new year theme, apparently. |
Jan 1 | The Theater Bats are bad at resolutions. |
