I'm DM Larson, also know as BootlegPotato, and I make weird comics. Some of them are about robots, witches, office workers, aliens, and barbarians. Most of them are free online.

I think they are neat and I invite you to take a look.

A single panel comic of an office working in a cubicle farm yelling "Oh god I'm 40! I can't relate to the youths!" with a caption that says "Life comes at you hard." A panel from a comic strip featuring an alien against a stary sky wiggle their butt. It is a "mooning" or "Uranus" joke. It make more sense in context. The cover of a comic called F.I.I.D.K. Artisanal Comix for a Refined Palate. The illustration on the cover is a picture of a sentient slice of pizza saying "I'd eat me." A page from the comic Saturday Tales feature two panels of Plum the witch walking in a garden at night. The first panel shows Plum carrying a candle stick and tea pot while stepping out of a building. The second panel show Plum walking through the garden away from the door they just exited.

Sports, am I right?

#comicoop #webcomics #comic
Panel 1: Buddy asks Pal "So did you catch that sporting event last night?" Panel 2: Pal responds "No and stop talking like that." Buddy says "oh thank goodness." Panel 3: Buddy says "I can never remember if I have to pretend to like a sport to sound normal."

Slumberland Nap part 6 concludes our new batch of Slumberland stories. You can read ahead in Fodongo the freeculture comic zine (fodongo.ca) and at my website www.bootlegpotato.com
#comicoop #comic #fantasy
Panel 1: We see a boat floating in the middle of a body of what. On it is a single cabin with a door. Panel 2: Nibs pops out of the door saying "Wait, are we on a boat?" Panel 3: Tip and Jules follow after Nibs. Tips says "You had to mouth off to the Moon didn't you?" and Jules responds "They felt like authority. I don't respond well to authority." Panel 1: Nibs dashes to the front of the boat shouting "There's land that way!" Panel 2: Jules and Nibs stand at the boat's reading while Tip says "Jules, there are a lot of authority figures in Slumberland and Gilliken Country, and Qaudling Country, and Winkie Country... There are a lot of countries now that I think about it." Panel 3: Jules says "Yeah, I guess." Panel 4: Tip, holding their brow in their hands says "If you want denizenship you'll have to deal with all of that." Panel 1: Jules leaning back into the boats railing says "Its not so much that I want denizenship as much as I don't want to be forced to go back to where I was. It's more of a looking forward and not dwelling in the past kind of thing." Panel 3: Tip suddenly shouts "Nibs! Don't you know how to sail?" Nibs look back at Tip says "Not on water." Panel 3: Far shot of the boat. One of the trio says "Well shit."

I'm not going to be able to participate in March of Robots this year but I like the weirdo characters I made from years past. #Art

Slumberland Nap continues. This one is a bit wordy but we get some back story. #comicoop #Comics #Fantasy
Panel 1: Jules asks the Moon "What's a Wakeworld? and the frustrated Moon says "It's your world, child!" Panel 2: Jules, clutching their blanket, says "I'm thirty five." Panel 3: The moon looking exacerbated says "You are but a sproutling in these lands.' Panel 4: Tip, sitting on one side of Jules says "Yeah, I'm like 138 or something." and Nibs sitting on the other side says "Wait, you can count?" Panel 1: Looking concern, Jules says to the Moon "Are you going to wake me up back at home?" Panel 2: The Moon says "That would only work if you were asleep in your world, but you are actually here! You would just wake up in some other random location. Likely dragging these two along as if they are bound to you by some curse." Panel 3: Jules asks "Wait, am I stuck here?" and the Moons responds "Yes. Likely forever." Panel 5: Jules says "Cool. I didn't really have anything going for me back in Wakeland." Panel 5: Squinting their eyes the Moon says "Wakeworld." Panel 1: The says "If you aren't concerned about going back then you must declare denizenship." Panel 2: Jules throws their arms in the air and shouts "I declare denizenship!" Panel 3: The moon look exhausted says "No, no! You must go meet with King Morpheus and he will grant you denizenship." Panel 4: The Moon says "You know what? I will wake you up one more time." and then they snap their figers. Panel 5: Jules wakes up again. Panel 6: Tip and Nibs are with them. Tip asks Oh golly, where are we now?"

geesegoose.ca/product/fodo...
#comicoop #comic #fantasy
Panel 1: A shadowy figure sits on the edge of the bed and says "Why do you three keep falling into Slumberland?" Panel 2: Jules clutching the sheets says confusingly "We keep waking up here?" Panel 3: In surprise the shadowy figure response shouts "Waking up? No one wakes up in Slumberland!" Panel 4: A door slams open and two men step into the room. The first with his arm in the air says "And that's how I solved the case of the Green Carbuncle!" The other man scampering in says "I thought it was blue?" Panel 1: The first man, Sherlock Holmes, shouts "And here we have the Mystery of the Napping Trio!" The second man, Watson, says "They look comfy, Holmes." Panel 2 Holmes says "Only to the layman's eye. Clearly they are all of questionable character." Panel 3: Looking at Tip Holmes says "This one's distictly colored clothing suggests they are from Gillikin Country!" Panel 4: Look at Nibs he says "This one, wearing fine garments very incorrectly, is clearly one of those ruffians from Capt. Darling's pirate crew!" Nibs looks down at their cloths in confusion. Panel 5: Addressing Jules directly Holmes says "However, you I can't place. You look confused and stressed. You rom Wonderland? Panel 6: Jules looking angary and stressed says "I'm from Wisconsin." Panel 7: The shadowy figure turns suddenly and says "You are from Wakeworld?" Panel 1: The shadowy figure pushing Holmes and Watson out of the room says "Enough, you two! Get out! Go solve the case of the missing heir of the Nautilus or something!" Holmes shouts "A maritime case Watson!" Watson shouts "I'll get our water wings!" Panel 2: Nibs, addressing the shadowy figure says "Hold on there fancy pants, who are you" Panel 3: Lighting up room and opening their month wings the shadowy figure says "I am Moon."

The Little Nemo influences are put on display in part 3 of Slumberland Nap. We also get some appearance from other characters of literature. #comicoop #comic #fantasy
Panel 1: The trio have awoken in a bed. On of them says "What now?" Panel 2: The bed begins moving. Jules and Tip look over the end of the bed. Tip says "Beds do this often around here?" and Jules responds "It's new to me." Panel 3: The bed walks right out of the room. Tip asks "Where do you think we are going?" Panel 4: The bed has walked right out of the house. Nibs says "I gues we are going out for the night." Panel 5: The bed begins to gallop. The trio are bouncing around. Panel 6: The bed is full on running. Nibs shouts "Hang on!" as the other two are tossed around the bed. Panel 1: The bed is running down a city street. Tip looks behind them and says "What's that?" Panel 3: Jules looks behind them and says "It is a ship?" Clearly a shit is flying through the sky behind them. Panel 3: Nibs shouts "It's my CREW!" as the ship pulls up next to them. Panel 4. The ship is full of people. A tall kid says "Hi, Nibs." a pair of twins wearing horned hats in unison say "You survived fall of the ship!" Another kid wearing a fancy hat with a teddy bear says "On a new adventure?" Nibs shouts "Cap'n Darling!" and the Captain responds "Looks like you're going off course!" Panel 1: The bed has climbed up on top of the rooves and tripped over a chimney. We can see the moon has grown a face again. Panel 2: The trio falls out of the the bed. Panel 3: They fall into the hand of the Moon Moth again. The Moon says "You three? This is getting out of hand" Panel 4: Nibs wakes up with a shout. Panel 4: The trio are back in a bed. Jules says "Your friends seem nice." Nibs responds "They are a fun bunch."

Now's your chance to be the kind of ancestor your descendants will brag about, gang. If nothing else motivates you to get involved, maybe that will?
ebonyteach.blacksky.app Ebony Elizabeth Thomas @ebonyteach.blacksky.app · 28d
Respectfully, I am going to whisper to some of our white comrades a truth that should be more widely known: You definitely have some ancestors to be proud of, ancestors who refused white supremacy, and poured out their lives in many of these struggles over time.

Time to claim your true history.

Flan and candy corn? Sounds like leftover holiday desserts to me. Actually I have no idea if flan is holiday related. It is a left over illustration that I don't know what to do with. 🫠

A dear friend is Sbux union leader through Workers United and she clued me into 3 things.
