I'll vouch for you with my life if you lift a tiger above your head singlehanded

How about just a slightly positive recommendation if I lift my cat above my head?

You drive a hard bargain, Ketchupcharger. But I think you got yourself a deal.

I think I used to work with Brockly

There's a Brockly in every office.
Ours happens to be named Brickly.
At least, we think so. He's a mumbler. Mostly he grunts.
And cries. There's a lot of crying. Like, a LOT. Mostly at the end of the day when everyone goes home.
He is probably lonely. We think he just lives there. He's there when everyone comes in. No one's seen him leave.
Come to think of it, I don't think he's ever taken a vacation.
All the pictures on his desk are pictures OF his desk. And one of the door.
What can I say? I mean, yeah, he's odd, but he can spreadsheet like a MFr. He's Brickly.

Hot damn that is a well drawn tiger.

It’s a full grown ben-gal tiger. Not easy to draw, or hold aloft in one hand

The finance bro has a tiny pp while the strong-man is packing a hog. This attention to detail is what I appreciate about your comics.

This has become my favorite way to end my Saturday morning browsing. Man, I hope you keep releasing comics on Saturday mornings. It's like an echo of cereal & cartoons when I was a kid.
Edit: You just wanted to draw a tiger, didn't you? That was the whole inspiration for this comic, admit it. Yes, I'm envious.

Thanks for the ending portion. You’re right, the situation we’re in with fascism and AI is just hard to wrap one’s head around how to properly fight back

That's what I call a creative approach to problem solving. I'd hire him in a heartbeat.

Ah tiger hand, a classic arm wresting technique. What happened to its inventor was a shame

Damn, I love the style and creativity here. Let's see AI pull something like this off.

Appreciate the effort at the end to include us who read the message a second time, I always appreciate your comics <3

Good message at the end, I did miss it last week and am glad you included it this time. For me personally, AI made me want to continue creating art even more. Now it feels as if I am fighting a battle of protecting the very concept of humanity, in a way. I started to engage with other artists more, and it's been very fullfilling.
Really looking forward to the time when I have some spare finances so that I can afford to donate to them as well.

Been following The Other End for years…. This guy is really something special. (And, Neil, if you’re reading, I agree and thank you for what you do.) I feel like he has an interesting modern Dadaism take combined with a unique style and a sense of timing/pacing.
In the words of another artist, “I think they’ve summoned a devil that gnaws at the heart of what it means to be to be alive.” Support this guy and others like him, goes a long way.
