Re: Comics Thread (no capes)
Nick wiger of the Doughboys podcast is frequently complaining about Heathcliff comics not making sense.
He's right, but it doesn't make them any less funny.

I started following Adam Koford on instagram years ago. I don't remember how. He workshops his stuff on instagram under @apelad. It's nice break from feed monotony while scrolling.
