Care for a midnight snack? 🍪 #webcomics

A spooky scary comic for Halloween! 🎃 #webcomics
Drip, drip, drip... the bathroom floor is soaking wet, the roommate claims no responsibility, and the truth is lurking nearby.

Another art-prompt-tober flashback! I made this one for Inktober 2021 Day 5, "Raven!" #webcomics
The witch Iris Bloom proposes a trade with her raven guest at tea time, offering copper pennies and sea glass. But it turns out the bird has very different taste in treasures.

I really fell behind on this one! #inktober2025 Day 13, "Drink"
Black and white comic showing a young witch examining potion bottles while her aunt explains they’re harmless herbal remedies, not bat’s blood or zombie potions.

From #comictober 2022 Day 18, "Woods."
Aunt Iris teaches her niece about witch's ladders, mystical knotted rope charms that can be used for good or evil. But the real magic is in where you choose to hang them.

Blast from the past: Comictober 2023 day 2, "Cauldron!" #comictober
Comic about a witch trying to buy proper witchcraft supplies at a regular store. When heavy-duty cast iron cauldrons aren't available, she has to settle for something less magical.

#inktober day 9 "heavy"
Two vacationing dragons deal with the consequences of excessive treasure collecting.

This makes 6 comics in 9 days! Not bad, but I've definitely fallen behind on art-prompt-tober!

This comic was actually inspired by 2 #inktober2025 prompts, "pierced" and "reckless." So make of that what you will.

On to the next one!
A single-panel comic featuring two dragons mid-meal. One dragon scolds the other for eating too quickly.

"peaceful" #artober day 5

I lucked out a bit on this one — just around the time that I was wrapping up work on my comic for day 4 of art-prompt-tober, my very funny wife started in on a riff about a late night asmr radio show. I thought it was hilarious, so I stole the whole thing.
A comic about an ASMR radio host who plans to broadcast soothing sounds like eating cucumber sandwiches and stapling paper.

#inktober day 4, "murky"
A fortune teller consults her new crystal ball, but instead of mystical visions, she gets shoe ads and department store sales. Even the supernatural isn't safe from marketing.

"Monster Therapy" #comictober day 3
A single-panel comic featuring Medusa in a very unproductive therapy session.

Oh, jeez! It's only day 3 of art-prompt-tober and I've already fallen behind! The idea I originally chose for my day two prompt "weave" (from Inktober 2025's prompt list) just wasn't working — so I scrapped it and started over this morning!

Now onto the next one!
A comic retelling of the Three Fates from Greek mythology—until a playful cat tangles up the threads of human destiny.

Guess what today is? It's the first day of art-prompt-tober! This month I will be attempting to make a new comic each day of the month using one of the many art prompt lists that circulate this time of year!

Today's prompt, "mustache," comes from the OG art prompt list: Inktober.
Henry starts his first day at the office with a warm welcome from the boss, but his new coworkers have already made up their minds about his future at the company.

Tiny Dracula's 6th appearance, November 11, 2022.

It was with this comic that the seed was planted: what Tiny Dracula might become. Not a horror story, not a parody — a gothic melodrama.

Want to see what Tiny Dracula has grown into? Check out my Kickstarter:

Tiny Dracula stands on Lucy's window ledge, asking to be let in to her room. Lucy does not answer.

Tiny Dracula's 5th appearance, November 9, 2022.

I originally thought to have the three suitors quote Shakespeare to Lucy, but instead these are One Direction lyrics.

The Tiny Dracula Kickstarter ends in 71 hours! There's still time to back it here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/nat...
