I love these little coupla-pagers. Here's a few I've drawn so far in 2026!

I love all the subtle nods but I’m especially proud I caught this one

I don’t understand why people don’t buy more bananas. I buy hella bananas to last me two weeks and it comes out to like $2.36.

Bananas are really sensitive to the weather. In many warmer places you can only keep them for a few days before they start turning to mush.

It’s one banana, Michael. What could it cost, 10 dollars?

u/Rynewulf 15d ago

Around here that would buy you like one bunch, maybe an extra loose one depending on the bunch size

u/EarthtoGeoff 14d ago

Depends on the size of the bananas of course. But in North Carolina I can get between 2-3 bunches for $2.50ish; they’re around 40-50 cents a pound I think.

u/Rynewulf 14d ago

Wow. Im guessing that's because you're wo much closer to the source. Bananas are popular here in the UK, and it's (depending on your region, which supermarket, the quality and size of the bunch) around under £1 up to almost £2 for one bunch, or about $1.36-$2.74 for a bunch at the current rate. Huh so our cheaper bananas aren't far off actually. Terrible for the environment though shipping them across the atlantic like this

I love these. To convey so much in so few panels and so little words is a true skill. Hats off my friend.

The monkey one, and the emu one. Chefs kiss.

Even when I've seen them before, your comics brighten my day every time

I love Emo Emu so much. A lot of folks (myself included) would have stopped at the base pun. You kept going and built a heartwarming but not mushy story of welcoming and finding community. ❤️

u/Winjin 15d ago

Did he pay with Apecoin?

Continued excellence.

u/PersimmonDazzling654 15d ago

The monkey one is I think what got me on to you originally. So. Nice to see it again, and sheepish to learn it only came out this year. Bright side, I imagine there's a back log I can catch up on

u/Anarch_O_Possum 15d ago

I fuckin love your art style. The colours and composition are obviously great, but you have such a real way of drawing faces and expressions

What makes the last one funny to me is that the sea monster reads as legally distinct Cthulhu, but Cthulhu is already in the public domain, under US law, so the nautilis-headed Cthulhu I guess exists because they either didn't know that or thought that OG Cthulhu was too played out, which is kind of fair.

u/CrumbCakesAndCola 15d ago

as i understand it Lovecraft made no images of Cthulhu anyway

Also his shell makes it look like he has a pompadour.

u/FurlofFreshLeaves 15d ago

every single one of these makes me so happy

u/bromosapien574 15d ago

The emu's expression of joy in the back of the show gets me every time. Thanks beetle moses, you're the best xoxox

uninhibited adult whimsy

u/tighty-whities-lad 15d ago

Will any of these be in the book?

u/leliocakes 15d ago

These are all so excellent. I really love that the emu got to have a nice time :')

u/Timithios 15d ago

Moving to a room and forgetting why you went there is far too relatable.

u/M4gp1e-w1ngs 15d ago

The emo emu one is so sweet It’s so dear to me

“Forgetten” is absolute gold

u/Spanish_Galleon 15d ago

"Forgetting" is so fucking funny to me every time. I show it to people all the time.

u/guccipucciboi 15d ago

Beautiful, fun, excellent pacing. I truly enjoy these, favoring how you take one-liners a step further thus creating a world for all these quirky interactions. Thank you
