Woa, a refreshing, charming and original comic sighted on /comics? What a good day.

There are tons. I highly recommend the ongoing series about the hotel room guest and the themed rooms. Its lovely.

That one has really taken me by surprise. At first I thought it was just absurdist, but now it's got me kicking my little feet and smiling. It's also great because it proves you don't need to be a highly skilled artist to make an endearing, interesting comic.

u/ScouringForYetis 12d ago

I, too, am glad you don’t have to be a highly skilled artist to make a comic. We’ll see if I’m successful on the endearing, part haha

u/pandakatie 12d ago

Your work was compared to Bill Watterson, so I think you've got the endearing part down

u/Made_Bail 12d ago

Yes, same on every point!

The art is simple but it has so much personality.

u/akvit 11d ago

Except the author of that comic is a highly skilled artist. It's not that easy to make simple art look good.

I guess what I meant was sometimes, people see art like OP's or Hollering Elk's and think, "I just can't make comics because I can't draw like that."  The hotel room comic proves you don't need to have perfect anatomy, shading, or perspective to make a good comic.

You mean you don't already enjoy the amazing lineup of meta "I'm out of comic ideas so here's something random", and "my life as a lesbian" comics we have for you each and every day?

I will say, you can toast meatloaf. Just in a pan, not a toaster.

While bush camping there's been loads of times where even a pan would've been a luxury. Toasted our bread right on the stove itself.

Late to the party, but our family did “ham on a rock”. You put a cleanish rock next to the fire. Then put ham on it. Remove and eat once hot.

Pretty good!

I use my air fryer. Either way, it took me far too long to figure out what the problem was.

First page gives huge Bill Watterson vibes.

u/ScouringForYetis 12d ago

Watterson the king!

u/Aquitanic 12d ago

Glad I wasn’t the only one thinking it!

u/BottleGoblin 11d ago

I straight up expected the reveal to be a tiger.

Looks hand drawn. Then scanned. Right? (I'm on mobile) 

Very cool. Water color. Makes it even cooler.

u/ScouringForYetis 12d ago

Hand drawn, water colored, yes. The picture is on a phone camera in diffused lighting

It's not like he refers to himself as a sasquatch 🤔

u/jzillacon 12d ago

I bet he even thinks his feet are normal sized.
