Comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: A man stands beside a bench where a woman is sitting. He asks, "What are you doing?" Panel 2: The woman, seated with her hands clasped, replies, "I'm having fun inside my head." Panel 3: The man, now looking intrigued, asks, "Can I join you?" The woman responds simply, "Yes." Panel 4: The man sits beside the woman on the bench, both looking serene as a single cloud floats in the sky.

This comic strip from 2016 feels like an ancient artifact to us.

There are days when looking at something you’ve created feels like staring too long at your own reflection under unforgiving fluorescent lights, full of flaws and imperfections. And yet – despite its flaws – there’s something in this comic that still speaks to us in a way that makes us think that maybe it wasn’t so bad after all.

And hey, if you like it, too, there are a few signed prints left in our shop!

WAPSTOBER

Wapstober – various characters by War and Peas

Today WAPSTOBER starts! That means from today until next Sunday, there will be a new comic every day! Let’s start with this one:

Human Costume

4-panel comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: A large, gray mountain-like figure with a briefcase, red hat, green tie, and a small cloud beside him says, "Guess my Halloween costume!" Panel 2: The mountain continues, "I'm so stressed!" while the cloud adds, "Don't talk to me before I had my coffee!" Panel 3: The mountain says, "Let's destroy the planet and raise the stocks or something!" Panel 4: Finally, the mountain, looking tired, says, "Jeez, I'm exhausted already."

Panel 1: Two praying mantises are walking on a grassy field. One mantis named Timmy, wearing a backward cap and carrying a backpack, says, "Hey, Sally? Are you a praying mantis, too?" Panel 2: The second mantis, identified as Sally, with flower-like hair and also carrying a backpack, responds, "Yeah. Why?" The background shows a warm, orange sky. Panel 3: Timmy, looking at Sally with a wide smile, says, "Because you look drop-dead gorgeous!" The background has a red circular pattern. Panel 4: The scene shifts to a park bench where the first mantis is sitting next to a ladybug with glasses. The mantis, looking downcast, says, "She said, she respects me too much to rip off my head and eat it." The ladybug replies with a simple, "Bummer."

We know constant plugs are annoying but please try taking a different perspective here: Although literally millions of people read our comics weekly, it’s still difficult for us as creators to make a living. We don’t get any money directly from Instagram or any other platform we post on.

If we wouldn’t have a Patreon page, we’d have to flip burgers and couldn’t make comics at all.

So if you read this or the plug of any other artist, please be kind. Thank you!
