#inktober2025 26 PUZZLING: The Firefly's fiery attack melted the ice and plunged into Arctic water, extinguishing himself. It's puzzling how the area melted but the heroes' spot didn't.

#inktober2025 24 ROWDY: Tjings have gotten extremely rowdy! The Firefly, with flaming hands, wildly attacks our two thieves! The Phantom Thief stays ahead on the towering monolith as chaos erupts, his fiery fists shattering the ice. He evades every blow, but Henchman 38 is less fortunate.

#pungeonsanddragons • Bad puns of Dungeons & Dragons monsters: 101925 • Skeleton • Undead, fleshless corpses like zombies but didn't feed on the living. They could be made from any solid creature, varying in size and power.

COMIC JAM HAWAII Drink & Draw was “Food Monsters.” This idea came from wanting to create new monster cereals. I made a few random ones. Mahalo to everyone for all the suggestions! If I have time, I might flesh out some of those ideas! 😊

#inktober2025 10- SWEEP: The two thieves sweep the city for clues and find a partially revealed message in an abandoned warehouse. Henchman 38 sweeps away the dust, revealing “2b or not 2b.” They wonder if it's a code, an address, or a reference to Hamlet, but it brings them closer to their goal.
