Without further ado, here’s Litchfield at Point Nemo

A six-ish panel comic featuring an artist known as Litchfield.
Panel 1: Litchfield is swimming and says "When I need to get away, sometimes I come here to Point Nemo."
Panels 2 through 5 is continuous as Litchfield walks along the abandoned MIR space station and other junk floating in the ocean.
Panel 2: Litchfield explains "The Oceanic Point of Inaccessibility. The most isolated place on Earth."
Panel 3: 48°52.6 S, 123°23.6 W
Panel 4: Litchfield sits on one of the command modules.
Panel 5: He says "A spacecraft graveyard."
Panel 6: Wide shot of the Earth, centered on Point Nemo, showing its location in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Litchfield says "Finally some peace and quiet!"

Surprised myself on how much I ended up loving Peacemaker. I’m not the audience for any of its individual parts and yet it won me over.

Also not a bad way to make the “Nazis are bad” message to a younger crowd.

I love the raw design of some of these characters. It's unabashedly cartoon.

The news has been completely nonsensical ever since they decided "cancel culture" was real. I haven't been able to make sense of any of it for years.

Drake sitting there reading about how good the judge thought the song was and how everyone really enjoyed it

The song contains lyrics explicitly accusing Drake of being a pedophile, set to a catchy beat and propulsive
bassline. "Not Like Us" went on to become a cultural sensation.

Oof. This was the only thing worse for him than if he had won it.

Every time I think I want to draw more realistically, I draw out a page of Garfields from memory and that fixes me.

Love the look of Tron: Legacy, but this is absolutely correct. They're telling us there's no room for movies that look like this?

Wow, good tip facebook

Sometimes I get bogged down with the single-celled problems.

#comics #webcomics #microbiology

Six panel comic featuring Kate and Aux, outside somewhere.
Panel 1: Kate says: "Your problem is you don't have a life outside your fears."
Panel 2: "You think happiness is a reward for how well you can keep your misery hidden."
Panel 3: Kate keeps going "But you're too old to still believe anxiety is a valid excuse for inaction. Lock in, dude."
Panel 4: Kate, yet still, "you can't stop for every single-celled problem and then get mad you haven't walked a mile!"
Panel 5: Aux yells out "Single-celled?!"
Panel 6: "All I said was: I know too much about amoebas and not enough about how to avoid one!"

I think that’s the key- I might go back to basics for a while

Thats rad! How are you scanning back to digital? Are you drawing big and stitching scans?

Adoption to an all digital workflow has been a mixed bag for me.

I have definitely over-complicated my process for posting comics. Adds up. Holy hell.
