this is a comic about submission fees
A four panel comic titled, “Submissions.” A small red robot sits at a laptop in all four panels. In the first panel, he says, “formatted correctly… check! Name removed… check!” In the second panel, he says, “submitted during a one hour period in the middle of the night… check!” In the third panel, he says, “hmm… proof of belonging to a dark literary cult. Where did I put that?” In the fourth panel, he says, “wait… submission fee!? $#@! Never mind!”

Part 2.
A two panel comic. In the first panel, a crudely drawn man and woman are visible. The woman points behind the man and says, “at least you weren’t made with AI like that guy.” In the second panel, we see that behind the man is a horribly misshapen drawing with many fingers that says, “I am in intense pain.” The man looks at the abomination and says, “yeeesh.”

Gods aren’t perfect ✏️
A four panel comic. The same image repeats in each panel, a poorly drawn man and woman speak to each other. In panel 1, the man says “where am I?” and the woman replies, “don’t worry, you’re in a comic.” In panel 2, the man says, “how’d I get here?” and the woman replies, “someone dreamed you up. Isn’t that cool?” In panel 3, the man says “who?” and the woman replies, “The Artist.” The man then says, “is that some kind of god?” and the woman replies, “they create as a god would, so maybe.” In panel 4, the man says, “where’s my neck?” and the woman replies, “gods aren’t perfect.”

Juggernaut is unstoppable.
A two-panel comic. The first panel shows a very large Juggernaut filling most of the panel and saying, “I am giving up a life of crime to chase my dreams.” In the second panel, he is now wearing a chef’s hat. He says, “and no one can stop me.”

A personal commission I got from @allsorrows.bsky.social last year, inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s “Stories Not for the Nervous” cover.
I wanted a portrait to use instead of a photo for my editing, and Sean made me look way cooler than I ever have in real life. Thank you Sean! 💀🧡

Cover for Alfred Hitchcock’s “Stories Not for the Nervous,” featuring Alfred at a desk surrounded by a vampire, alien, and several assorted gremlins.

To match my non-existent art skills, I am writing and drawing a comic about a retired wizard who is telling stories of his most famous exploits via his new favourite medium, comics!

As the story goes on, Barnabus’ art skills will improve, and hopefully, so will mine!

Bonus Barnabus doodle 🧙🏼‍♂️
A doodle of a stick figure wizard casting a spell towards a lizard-like dragon. The doodle is on a sticky-note.
