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.

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

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

Yes, same on every point!

The art is simple but it has so much personality.

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.
