Some random strips from my series AWKWARD MOMENTS. As the name implies it’s just about awkward and sometimes even funny situations I had to deal with. I challenge myself to do one every day in order to master the art of comic stripping like Kate Beaton or Tove Jansson and enjoy myself while trying.
“Here we have Bram Stoker’s Dracula, a book written to tell ladies that if you’re not a submissive waif, society goes to hell and ungodly monsters are going to turn you into child killing horrors and someone is going to drive a bowie knife through your heart/cut off your head/etc. As you deserve! Thanks Bram! I wrote it down so as to remember it.
But don’t get me wrong, I prefer my vampires to be moustachioed 1890s types more than the sexy kind you see nowadays. Maybe Carmilla was sexy, I forget. Anyway. By the way, have you ever read Dracula? It’s a very good read, you may be surprised.”

Getting into an argument with my partner because I said they should eat my body if I die before them in a survival situation and they refuse to entertain the notion. “I’m not saying you should kill me, I’m saying if you outlive me you should eat me,” I say. “NO,” they respond.
I can’t help it, I really love the original comic strip from Kate Beaton (Ooh Mr Darcy) and maybe it already has been made with Geralt and Jaskier but whatever. I don’t have enough time anymore to draw and I really loved to draw this one.
But maybe we can’t use this reference anymore ? If so, I’m really sorry and i’ll delete it obviously.

I had a lot of fun with this on twitter, so I just kept on going with it. But you know, I’m always kind of touched by how strongly fans support their favourite characters, and there is a lot of love for Cloak and Dagger, and you can see why because there are some pretty great things about that pair. But that costume, come on, it’s a big old slice of tit window pie. They don’t always dress Dagger like that, but yeah they mostly do! But they probably won’t on the tv show!
I didn’t dwell on Cloak very much in a comic about tit windows, but, here’s something. I tweeted this essay a while ago when I read it, but Cloak’s lack of a body really brought it to mind again, and you should totally read it, though mostly it is about the character Cyborg, it is relevant here too:
