Dirk’s body does not look like this, but the wood grain of this mannequin couldn’t help but inspire a thought that I just had to inflict on all of you.

Still working on the next comic, but here’s another sneak peek! Chris’s friends continue to talk amongst themselves.

Still working on the next comic, but here’s a sneak peek! It looks like we’ll be seeing Chris’s friends again. :3 I wonder what they’re talking about…

Hey, that fabric needed to come from somewhere…

Softboy’s wizard robe is based off of a real pair of underwear that the artist owns! It is, indeed, magically cozy.

The next comic (despite being a goofy lil thing) is still underway, but here’s a sneak preview of it! Just what the heck is Softboy wearing?

Softboy visited a cool art exhibition recently! He's all bundled up because it's cold on the moon, and not because the artist messed up when drawing his mouth.

Anyway, you should look up Luna Luna Park!

Huh. Well, what did they think he was gonna say?

Also, definitely check out Mashle, it’s very fun. This is an official Softboy Pillowman recommendation (as of watching the 2 available seasons of the anime and having read the first six volumes of the manga).

As you can see, we already narrowed down the casting choices, but feel free to send in more options!

Now that a big project is largely out of the way, I’ve been getting back into the swing of making full comics! Here’s a sneak peek at something silly that should be ready by next week.

Longtime followers of this blog may remember that Dirk likes to rest on the coat hooks outside of Chris’s closet. It turns out that he never fell out of the habit, even as he began spending more time in his anthropomorphic form.

… huh. He doesn’t look like he’s sleeping well tonight. I wonder what he’s dreaming about?

If you’re wondering which obligation of mine is taking so much time away from making comics (or at least, which one I’m currently choosing to blame), then here’s a clue!

No, it’s not for this blog, but with all the work I’m putting into it, I really wish it were.

… also, no, I’m not actually using the cool desk and paper.

One time, Softboy suggested that the Chrisville Theater Society could perform new original work, and encouraged people to submit scripts for them to possibly use one day. It did not take long for him to regret this idea.

This week’s post is inspired by me learning that adjudication is harder than I thought.

Bonus points to anyone who can tell what existing work this piece is referencing.

This week's been pretty busy, so here's a sneak peek at the silly lil art piece I was planning to upload this weekend! I wonder if anyone would be able to guess what's happening in it.

A “fun” fact: In the early days of this blog, I was planning to incorporate more of what I called “the red clouds” or “the red lightning.” It was a manifestation of anxiety, fear, and dread that Softboy would need to battle through. Some of you may even remember the one comic where it was actually used. However, I chose to focus on more fun (or at least, less dread-filled) ideas and haven’t used it since.

Recently, I was in the mood to see if I could make a new version of the red lightning through Procreate. I wish I wasn’t.

Breaking news: Chrisville has finally established itself as an independent nation! This up-and-coming little country has got it all: laws, universal healthcare, mandatory theater society duty… what more could you want? True, they may not have anything to offer the global marketplace, but (most of) Chrisville’s residents still take pride in the fact that their home is so unique and wonderful. And totally not beholden to the laws or leaders of any other country. Not a single one.

They ARE still figuring out their exact system of leadership, though. Softboy isn’t really a monarch: he was democratically elected. However, the Chrisville residents started teasingly calling him “your majesty,” and they made a lil crown for him because he looks so darn cute, so he’s kind of also a king. Whatever he is, he calls the shots, and (almost) everyone is happy about it!

Before you ask, yes, there is an opposition party in Chrisville, and yes, it is just Dirk.

Nothing much to see here! Just a loyal lil office worker working hard to make sure this blog has at least a little fun art to share every week. Doesn’t he look productive?

This art was inspired by a very cool marketing campaign that basically doubled as performance art.
