Freeze

This started off as a comic about a criminal who literally did what the arresting officer said: “Drop the gun! Slowly!”, but then it turned into something about a snowman dropping a banana. Slowly.

Throw the Baby Out

This one came out of looking at some warnings on the packaging for a microphone headset. The image of a baby with a plastic bag over its head was too extreme not to follow up on, I feel.

Lobster Hug

I’ve been thinking about the issues surrounding lobster hugs for a long time now, and I’m glad I finally achieved some degree of closure with this comic.

Innermost Babushka

Doodled this in a notebook while in MontrĂ©al and only just managed to make it digital and beautiful. It’s all about intimacy.

The Only One

Chad told me this brilliant story about father-child relationships and the status of interlopers. I drew it with coffee cups for the main characters because I can’t draw anything very well.

Emperor Cuthbert

This strip just came to me somehow, unconnected with the fact that the climate summit was on in Copenhagen at the time. I like the idea that we might badly misinterpret what other species (or people) think about things.

Meet Gulag.

Gulag is a running character in my and Rilla’s stories. He’s a book with a difficult personality who just wants to be read/loved. He’s based on my experience with actively not reading the book “Gulag”.
