So I’m having IMMENSE brainrot of the lovely comic “RATS” by mello on the app Tapas, and doodled the two main characters Nikolaj and Faye.

I normally don’t post my lazy doodles here or anything, but I did want to post this one because I really want to help grow the fandom! I’m seeing such a lack of RATS fans/exposure in general when it’s such an underrated comic that I truly think deserves more love.

So here are the two goobers. Warning for depiction of SH scars below the cut!

Ugh I love them so much. Y’all should go read RATS if you’re into thriller/psychological stuff with hella fun characters.

Hey question

Did anyone read this or was it just me

I just wanted to take a break from posting about Lackadaisy and the memes to talk about this really underrated comic. It’s called Age of Bronze and it is illustrated and written by Eric Shanower and his work is gorgeous. It’s a retelling of the Illiad as well as the Shakespeare play Troilus and Cressida but more historically accurate to the time period that the story takes place in which is the Bronze Age (3300-1200 B.C) which is also one of my favorite historical periods. The comic has been running since 1998 and unfortunately has been in hiatus since 2019.

Here are some of my favorite moments from the comic. The series was mostly black and white until the colored editions which truly makes the comics more vibrant.

Seriously give this comic a read.

while i started reading camp weedonwantcha for the characters and plot, the art style really deserves more praise.  especially night scenes, but i have a weak spot for any strip with expressive faces or unusual lighting.
