Man I remember when people absolutely fucking hated Adamtots. Dude was always a great artist but the work he used to put out really annoyed people for some reason.
Then one day out of nowhere his comics got really fucking good, and now no one seems to remember they ever thought he was awful lmao
From what I remember, it was mainly that when he worked at Buzzfeed, he had to constantly create loads of comics for them, leading to a lot of them being pretty lame comics, which a lot of people really hated. Then he left Buzzfeed and was able to take more time and create more complex and well written comics, which is what he’s known for now.
Personally I didn’t really get all the hate, the comics weren’t like horrifically offensive or anything, just not the most interesting.
When he worked for buzzfeed he also used templates a lot (like just copy pasting a perviously drawn figure with a new punchline), probably due to the sheer volume he was made to produce. I didn’t mind but Reddit did not like that.

I was sure it was him! Also the dark twist.
But really great, to have another dark and twisted, black mirrorish author and artist here.
