Phobos Comics

In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey - Beck Everything is stolen from tvtropes, unless proved otherwise - The website formerly known as Twitter : https://twitter.com/PhobosNDemos - Tapas : https://tapas.io/series/Phobos-and-Tropes-and-you

Yeah, my upload schedule might have hinted at this…

I'm very happy with how Phobos as a whole turned out. It taught me an immeasurable amount on comic making and truth is, I can't wait to get back in the game.

But I did my rounds with that little monkey. Maybe some day I'll have more to make him say, but making that halloween episode made me yearn for more.

So yes, I will be back! But not now. And not soon either. But I'll be back with something else.

So, for now, that's all folks!

Tropes are kinda like that one wrench you love but never find because it's lost under who knows what cupboard and that's really getting on your nerves because you don't know where you could've put it and the sale on it ended yesterday and it's really annoying… Has anyone seen my wrench?

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION This summer, we kept getting thunderstorms and other torrents of rain. I guess Gaben figured out that this was the best momen

Protagonists and Heroes are like a Chimpanzee and a Gorilla. At first they look similar, but the details show how different they can truly be. Also, don't feed any of them bananas. It's too sugary for them.

STEAM NEXT FEST FEBRUARY 2024

Presented by Mars, the author behind Phobos

Sooo, Tumblr doesn't allow for more than ten links. And since Hbomberguy haunts me in my dreams, I wanted to make sure to include them.

Therefore, hop on over to the link bellow and enjoy the read!

[phoboscomics]

Surprise! I’m not dead! A new comic is coming! Maybe February?

It still needs cleaning up of the rough parts but it will be out soon. Then again, to quote Douglas Addams : “I love deadlines. I love the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.”

So what in store for february? A single comic? As you might’ve noticed, I’m quite slow at making these. A mixture of drawing inexperience, shame, endless corrections, rogue legacy 2 and nitpicking. Also, here’s a tip, don’t try and juggle a webcomic with a job search.

So, to avoid letting my tumblr die from famine, I’ll post something I usually keep in between friends. You see, steam next fest begins tomorrow and I love playing as many demos as I can and then write up mini reviews. So guess what, you’re gonna get mini reviews for christmas february as well!

I’ll see you all in a couple of weeks then, first with the reviews for the steam next fest round-up, then for the next big Phobos comic! (By the way, it will contained marked spoilers for “For a few dollars more” so watch it!)

Until then, have a graph detailing the diageses of the truman show. My treat.
