A little comic by Vasya Lozhkin: “I will take revenge”
Earlier today I was reading this article about an immigrant to Canada who learned English with the help of comics, and who now creates comics himself. It got me to thinking about what a great resource comics are for learning ...
My webcomic goals this year!
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Jan. 6, 2017
Sorry about last week’s missed newspost, everyone! Last week’s post happened to fall on “friend Christmas.” I’m the world’s worst adult, and spent the day eating so much holiday junk food that I got sick and had to go to bed rather than finish writing. I ...
Happy Holidays from the Great White North!
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Dec. 23, 2016I claimed in last week’s newspost that I tend to work best in a nice quiet environment. Well, I’m currently testing whether or not that’s true. As you’re reading this, I’m in the middle of the woods in a lovely cabin with a fireplace and ...

Rogue from the X-Men encounters President Ronald Reagan!
(…who???)
Timeliness vs Timelessness
Some comics are very much “of the moment”, while others are more timeless.
Connecting to the events of the moment can be a worthy endeavor. The political satire of Jesus 2016 comes to mind. Webcomics are well suited ...
Comicking your feelings
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Nov. 4, 2016
I’ve been going through a bit of a rough patch lately in terms of my mental health. I don’t talk about it that often, but I don’t keep it a secret that I’ve always struggled with anxiety. Recently I started on medication for it for the ...

Hello, hello!
Before I begin my ramblings, may I remind you that the DD Awards are currently being served?
What's that you say? I just did?
Awesome!
F*cking awesome!
How did my “awesome!” change for you with the swear word, if at all ...
