Behold! The first 8 pages of Pip & Gunko, my ongoing comic about a pair of sweet idiots who become instant best friends through the power of bickering and threats of affection. It's presented in short episodes with weekly page updates. you can follow it at pipandgunko.com! #pipandgunko #comic

“Best World” A new name to help collect the Gideon & Bartholomew comics. I’ve been working on a graphic novel(ish) story with these characters for a little while now and it made me think about giving their adventures an actual title, instead of just using my own name as the signature.

Easier to remember, maybe? The name Best World is based on where these two sweets come from. I’m hopeful I’ll get a chance to expand on that meaning at some point but for now, at least, more short goofs.

It’s Little Grandpa week. Celebrate the occasion however you see fit. Myself? I set out a series of small treats and leave them unguarded so gramps can stash them away in his den for the winter. More LG coming tomorrow. 👴🏻❤️

hi hello all you new followers from the webcomic starter pack(s)! i’m in the trenches of webcomic early days audience-building which is definitely more of a significant challenge when self-hosting, but will hopefully be worth it, ultimately.

*TLDR: I’ve been off socials for about a year and surprise I’m back, baby.* Hey friends! It’s been a while, probably a little too long to be fair.

That said, I’ve got a teeny-weeny bit of news to share! I updated my website with some new stuff. I added a few new comics and a bunch of illustrations I haven’t posted before. Still looking to add more (like past publications and other work) but I’m happy with where it is right now.

Perhaps you’d like a cartoon picture of me and a real life one for posterity? You got it. Anyway, thanks for following my stuff. It means a lot to me. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone again just a bit more. Ryan

I'm going to try and figure out a nicer + healthier way to be here without being either all the way on or all the way off. Somewhere in between seems right.

It's always interesting seeing other people work through their process and, like, live their lives in pursuit of their creative goals. So I’m going to try to do the same, let people into my process more often. Even if it’s on the scary internet.

This past year I’ve been changing my routine, pulling back on certain internet habits, and dedicating more time to different types of work projects, some for clients and some for myself. It’s all good stuff but I haven’t been connecting with folks on socials as much as I used to. And I miss that.

I started drawing these about six years ago and every October I’d add another few to the mix. By now some of these references are ooooold. 😅
