Hi, I'm Hagai, I write comics and occasionally prose, and criticism thereof. Most of my comics can be read online for free, or purchased on a pay-what-you-want basis on Gumroad and Itch.io.

Always on the lookout for new collaborators, projects, and criticism outlets.

I weep for the day when this post will be screenshotted for its harrowingly accurate foresight but I nevertheless have a moral responsibility to say it: all Labubus will detonate on Christmas morning 2025.

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.

Yet again thinking about this Ditko cover which remains maybe the most relatable piece of art I’ve ever seen.

The cover of Haunted no. 3 where a titularly haunted guy is running toward the viewer saying, "Why? Why? Why? Why?" While a banner above him says, "You BETTER believe "THIS IS HOW IT IS." And there's a cemetery with a caped goblin and a ghost or something behind him.

Trying to think what other comics belong to this category… Phil Tippett’s MAD GOD also comes to mind. I guess the best criteria is “light on plot specifics, light on words, heavy on vibes, heaviest on Creatures”
