Welcome to the ashtray in the corner of the interwebs where the weird strips go when they give up on being normal.
This is where comics show up at 3 a.m. with red ink on their shirt and no alibi.
This comm is creator-friendly. So feel to throw your own stuff into the ring! 'Weird' is better than 'good,' friends! General comics talk is encouraged too.
I'm Buckminster Burkeswood, and I say, "Let's all race to the bottom and freak out Lemmy together!"
What We Want
-
Single–panel and short web comics
-
Underground, indie, ugly, beautiful, badly lettered, whatever
-
Process shots, roughs, sketchbook pages, failure piles
-
I don't care what you used to create it. Bring it!
If it feels like something a bored bartender would laugh at, it probably fits. Weird is good!
What We Don't Want

Uncredited comics

“I found this on Facebook, no idea who drew it”

Artwork by the great Warren Kremer, an American comics cartoonist best known for creating the Harvey Comics characters Richie Rich, Hot Stuff the Little Devil, and Stumbo the Giant.
Kremer was born in the Bronx in 1921. He trained at the School of Industrial Arts and started out doing work tied to pulps and print services before comics fully grabbed him.
This piece was used for The Beyond, but the interior story it went with had actually been recycled from Challenge of the Unknown. Both were short-lived pre-code horror lines. The comics biz back then did whatever it could to squeeze out a profit. Art and stories moved around, got repackaged, and found new life under different covers.
He went on to have a long run at Harvey Comics. He worked there for decades and, for a lot of readers, his line basically became “the Harvey look.” He helped shape the faces and bodies of the characters that lived on those covers, especially the kid-friendly world that made Harvey famous.
After Harvey’s classic period ended, Kremer kept drawing. He even did work for Marvel’s kid-focused Star Comics line in the 1980s.
