"The End" This isn't the actual end, but it was the last comic I made for my senior project. It's also most people's favorite. Including the college's president, which I was not expecting.

Description under the cut.

[ID: Two panel color comic of Neopolitan sitting outside on a brown bench with their knees pulled up to their chest. There are clouds in the sky, two birds, and a tree on the right. In the first panel, they're saying (with each sentence in a different word bubble), "When I first started college, I was told it would be the best experience of my life. And I knew back then that was a lie." In the second panel, their ears are down and they look sad, saying, "But man, what the fuck was that?!?" End ID]

You know that person in the friend group who you're pretty sure ate grass as a kid? Yeah, that's Greg.

[id: 1) A traditional drawing of a flat red crab with black button eyes and pointy legs. There's a front view, a side view, and a bean animal version. On the right there's the profile that says, "Name: Greg; Pronouns: he/him; Likes: reading, saying whatever comes to mind, spending time with friends; Dislikes: getting too many texts at once, dog ear book pages, sand; Christabol is his cousin". 2) A photo of a flat red crab with black button eyes on a podium.]

"Soup Store" During this point in the year I watch this video like 20 times a day. I never seen Code Geass btw. Nor Code MENT, which is apparently what this is from.

[ID: A two panel black and white comic cut diagonally. In the first one, Christabol is in his house holding his phone to his face with question marks all around him, saying, "Why are you buying clothes at the soup store?" The second is Greg holding his phone with one claw raised looking angry. Behind him are shelves of soup cans. Greg is saying, "Fuck you!" End ID]

"Fairy Tale" I constantly make jokes about how people who say life isn't a fairy tale obviously never read fairy tales. Everyone is sick of them XD

Description under the cut.

[ID: A two panel color comic of Christabol holding a coffee cup in a room with light blue walls and a white floor. In the first panel he's holding the cup towards his body and saying, "I was always told life wouldn't be like a fairy tale." In the second, he's holding the cup out and saying in two word bubbles broken up by each sentence, "But the thing is, I'm German. This is pretty close to what I was promised." End ID]

I had a few months to make comics for when I finally caught up to where I left off last year.

Did I actually do that? Nope.

Anyways, here's a drawing of Christabol. I think I'm going to take a break for a little while and just post some sketches I've done for the time being.

Description under the cut.

[ID: A color drawing of Christabol with his right claw up to his face saying, "I think I'm the most mentally stable of the group." and "I don't like it. Too much pressure." End ID]

"One Of Those Days" When I bought this pin, I thought it was the funniest thing in the world. Wasn't expecting it to predict the pandemic.

Description under the cut.

[ID: A two panel black and white comic of Neopolitan holding a pin. The panel on the left is labeled "2018", and it shows Neo smiling with their eyes closed. There's a circular part at the top showing their paw holding the button that says, "It's been "one of those days" for like, 3 years now", and Neo is saying, "Ha! Okay, I'm buying this!" The one on the right is labeled "2022", and Neo looks sad with their ears down saying, "This didn't age well." End ID]

"College" Featuring the Brown Bomber by Rupert Kinnard, based on a conversation I actually had with Rupert! Fun fact: his comics were the first to feature ongoing gay/lesbian-identified African-American characters!

Description under the cut.

[id: A three panel color comic of Neopolitan and the Brown Bomber at a round wooden table in black oval chairs and coffee mugs and a muffin in front of them in a white room with an orange floor. The Brown Bomber, and dark skinned Black man with a black mask on the top half of his head, a yellow tank top with red seams, and a red cap, is saying, "How's college been going for you?", to which Neo responds, "Well... I'm going to school during a pandemic." The next is the Brown Bomber and Neo both looking forward, BB in shock and Neo to take a sip of coffee. The last is BB saying, "So, horrible." and Neo responding with their cup still in their hands, "Yeah, pretty much." End id]
