Theory on Electric Cars

This one's an older one. I still think it's pretty funny, though. Hopefully it's not too hard to read.

#comics #comicstrips #oc
4 panel Comic featuring Mii, my persona. In panel 1, Mii introduces herself with a little 'ahem!' She has her eyes closed and her hand close to her face. In panel 2, Mii looks directly at the camera with a serious expression. She says, "I'm convinced that electric cars are fueled by the souls of the damned." In panel 3, Mii looks to her left. She has a slightly silly smile, and she says "That's why they make that noise!" In panel 4, in the direction Mii was looking in the previous panel, a Tesla is pictured as an example of an electric car. Above it is a large "Ahhhhhhhhhhh" sound effect. The joke here is that the noise that most electric cars emit for safety reasons can sound very eerie, almost as if the car was being powered off of souls.

Mourning the death if my favorite Green pen rn 💔😔
Silly drawing made by hand using ballpoint pens on paper. The drawing depicts Mii (not coloured in, only blue outlines) crying with my eyes closed as I put my hand on an illustrated lime-green ballpoint pen. The pen has pretty much run out of ink, which is why I'm mourning it. It has a wrinkly, weak looking face drawn on it, and it's wheezing. Tears fall from my face, and a little "sob sob" sound effect is drawn beside my head. A little green ghost floats up from the pen, as if it's soul has departed. A drawn caption at the top reads "Mourning my favorite Green pen:

Terrifying Carwash!

#comics #furry #comicstrips #oc
4-Panel comic featuring Mochii (green and pink wolf-cat), Umbra (lavender and white cat-like alien), and Stella (red demon with one horn cut off) Panel 1: Front view of a dark green car. The car is covered in dirt. Mochii is sitting in the driver's seat, and Umbra and Stella are sitting together in the back seat. Mochii says "Our car's pretty dirty. Let's hit the car wash." Panel 2: A little label indicates that this panel takes place 5 minutes later, when they're inside the carwash. The view is from the back seat of the car where Umbra and Stella are sitting, looking forward at the dashboard and front seats. Mochii is looking over her shoulder at Umbra and Stella. Smiling excitedly, she says "Isn't this so neat?" A rotating scrubber and a blob of soap are seen outside the windshield. Panel 3: Medium shot of Umbra and Stella sitting in the back seat, facing the camera. They are holding hands and smiling, and there's a little heart floating between them. Umbra, facing Mochii, says "Yeah!" Stella is looking out the window, and she says "Wow!" Panel 4: Suddenly, the dark shadow of one of the rotating scrubbers covers Umbra and Stella as it scrubs their window. They both scream "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" and hold on to each other, terrified as if they were watching a horror movie Below the 4 panels, the title of the comic, "Carwash", and the name of the creator, "Year of the Goomba" (that's me!) To the right of those, there are icons representing Bluesky and Reddit, with the usernames @yearofthegoomba and u/CocoTheHugePinkCat respectively.

Oddly specific fortune cookie!

I'm away from home for a while, so I can't do any new digital comics, but there's still a few more coming! And more eventually after that!

#comics #furry #comicstrips
4-Panel comic drawn using ballpoint pens in a sketchbook. In the top-left panel, an anthropomorphic green-and-pink wolf-cat named Mochii is holding a fortune cookie. The background is red (because she's in a Chinese restaurant), and Mochii is wearing a small dark-purple purse. Smiling, she says "Fortune cookie time!", and a little snap sound effect is shown next to the cookie as it cracks. In the second panel, a close up of Mochii's hands is shown. Her two hands hold a rectangular peice of paper in the middle of the panel that has text on it. It reads: "You will take a travelling alien and a demon in as your roommates. 6 21 43 9 28" In the third panel, the background is now dark blue, because Mochii is walking home. Two new characters are shown in this panel. The first one is a cat-like alien named Umbra. Umbra has mostly whitish fur, and a pale lavender roughly covers the right side of her body, including part of her face and one ear. She has orange-red eyes, short blue-black hair, a striped tail, two green antennae on the top of her head, and is wearing a green shirt. She has a somewhat tired expression. Beside her, there is a red human-like demon named Stella. Stella has two red horns on her forehead (although her left horn has been chopped off about a third of the way up), a pointed nose, short whiteish-blue hair, a slightly freckled face, and a tail with a pointy triangle at the end. She is wearing a black t-shirt, and looks excited. Umbra says "Hi. I'm looking for a home on Earth. Could I maybe live with you?" Stella speaks up, too, and says "Yeah, same here!" In the fourth panel, it's a medium-close up of Mochii, who is looking somewhat annoyed and skeptical, frowning. She says "Seems legit." Below all the panels, there's the title, "Fortune Cookie", and "Year of the Goomba.

So... $80 Games
#comics #games #nintendo
4-Panel comic about people's reactions to Nintendo's $80 games. In the first panel, Shigeru Miyamoto is holding a Switch 2 game box, and is standing beside Shuntaro Furukawa. Miyamoto is smiling and says "I made a game!" Furukawa replies "Good job, Miyamoto!" In the second panel, Furukawa says to Miyamoto, "We will sell it for $80!" and Miyamoto stops smiling and looks somewhat uncomfortable. In panel 3, the scene changes, and we see Shuntaro Furukawa standing on his own in front of a red background with the Nintendo Direct logo on it. Facing the camera, he says, "We are pleased to announce our new $80 game!" In the fourth panel, an angry crowd of people is shown. One of them yells "Boo!" Another yells "Fuck Miyamoto!"
