      Thanks Sareen! I was cursing myself for drawing all those Truggz in one panel!

    Those are some nice monsters! I am kind of convinced that when my eyes are closed, monsters secretly plot against me, heh. Now I have to worry that they’re under the floor, ready to grab unsuspecting victims, so thanks for that.

      Those big red monsters are Truggz. You can see their first appearance here: http://www.zombieboycomics.com/2011/11/04/just-dirt-2/ Make sure you keep reading for the next few strips after! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

          Something like that could be very eruptive to domestic life. Never take a Trugg to Taco Bell!

      Yes, Pancho, it is a tribute to the late, great Moebius. You can read about it in my blog post: http://www.zombieboycomics.com/2012/04/09/moebius-and-me/

      This strip took me forever to finish. Too many Truggz! Thanks for noticing the color, Aidan!

    Well, since the truggz are close to the basement, maybe they can do some of the laundry before terrifying everyone!

      You’ve just encounted a Trugg, Warren. Don’t make any sudden moves.

      That is very nice of you to say, George. As one artist to another, I try to make each strip something I would enjoy seeing, even if it wasn’t drawn by me. Of course, I struggle with the more complicated ones (like putting six big monsters in a panel…)

        You managed to pull it off lovely, though. I particularly like the one sitting down on the far right.

        Oh, btw, be on the lookout for something in your email. 🙂

    Those are some big monsters!

    Like I always say, these double-sized ones are really nice. The extra space helps make it come alive.

      Thanks a lot for saying that. I like to do them, but they are twice as much work as a single strip. If I could I’d make them all bigger! Those big monsters needed more space, lol.

    Gorgeous! Just gorgeous! I know you spent a ton of time on this one, the balance is… well… just gorgeous! Six Truggz, idyllic snow scene, and Gorr playing off to get sympathy points. Man I don’t know how you do it. <3

      You know, Jande, you are right on the mark. This strip was a doozy, it was like chipping away at a block of stone. I had to take it in little doses, so I wasn’t entirely overwhelmed. Thanks for noticing the work I put into it. As Brandon Oliver (TWXXD) puts it, it makes the juice worth the squeeze.

      They’re naturally hunched. Product of their environment, I’m afraid.
