Is Adventure Dennis your role model? Is this already your motto? If so, you probably don't have anything to learn from Adventure Dennis Level 5. www.bookofpdr.com/comics/adven...
Adventure Dennis has been busy lately. Maybe a nice nighttime walk in the woods will help. www.bookofpdr.com/adventure-de...
People are always asking "What if back in 2005 you used MS Paint to make a webcomic that was supposed to be like a haunted house from a video game?" and I'm sick of repeatedly explaining that I actually did do that in 2005, so here's Adventure Dennis level 3: www.bookofpdr.com/adventure-de...
Making good on my threats, I have put the second level of Adventure Dennis up in a clearer format. This will continue until my demands of one million dollars are met. www.bookofpdr.com/adventure-de...
Cyclopes are all the rage now, yeah? I'll take advantage of that by bringing Adventure Dennis Level 1 to a new, simpler webpage. Remember Adventure Dennis, the webcomic from 2004? No you don't, liar. Over the next month or so, I'll put the whole thing up like this. www.bookofpdr.com/comics/adven...
I somehow got more worked up than usual doing this Superman vs Bigots article, but I got there in the end. bsky.app/profile/the-...
@pushinguproses.bsky.social @mattaukamp.bsky.social Relevant to the latest episode of Save Your Game:
I have been informed I am not in this. I have been a living joke for decades, what more do they want?
2023: Comical Comedy Rabbit Comics www.bookofpdr.com/2023/04/15/c... A rabbit stars in a comic strip and doesn't know why.
2022: Planet Gurx www.bookofpdr.com/tag/gurx/ I very much enjoyed doing a sort of speculative alien biology thing fleshing out the planet Gurx, homeworld of the Strondovarians.
2020: The Official PDR Desert Island Comic www.bookofpdr.com/2020/04/04/t... You're not legally allowed to call yourself a cartoonist until you do a comic set on a desert island with a palm tree.
2017: Pete Nancy: Agent of HINDER www.bookofpdr.com/2017/10/23/p... This was when I really leaned into making Phone Guys too complicated by telling a year-long story of Pete accidentally joining a terrorist group devoted to ruining society.
2016: Senator Lizard: Jet Fuel Can't Melt Steel Drums www.bookofpdr.com/2016/09/12/s... In addition to being the front man and only member of the band Senator Lizard, I also make the album art.
2013: Physical Comedy Award www.bookofpdr.com/2013/02/11/f... Here's a comic I did in 2013.
2012: Snowgasaurus www.bookofpdr.com/2012/03/17/s... While I continued doing comics and stuff, I was also apparently more likely to include photos in the blog posts. To represent the year I had to either choose this one or the series in which I wrote about getting my finger caught in a machine.
2011: Secret Government Robots www.bookofpdr.com/comics/secre... Another long-running webcomic I did for years, it began as a gag strip and was that way for about four pages and then I started doing complex stories with a huge cast.
2010: Phone Guys (A Date For Mom) www.bookofpdr.com/2010/12/20/i... In this year I brought the Phone Guys to the site, which for some sort of self-sabotage reasons I intentionally make as difficult as possible to enjoy or follow, but still bother making to this day. Over 800 of them at this point.
2009: Adventure Dennis www.bookofpdr.com/comics/adven... This was the year I started putting my Adventure Dennis comics on the Book of PDR, starting with Level VI, the ice level. Adventure Dennis, for all its flaws, is one of my most complete and self-contained projects to this day.
We beat the Taskmaster Escape Room, getting a score of 3. This is probably about how I'd score on the show, so I am calling it scientifically accurate.
Hey, I got one. And in spite of taking that picture, I absolutely did not remember to go to that.
Another 1-bit piece featuring the inimitable @wuckajuice.bsky.social. After the amount of time I spent on that hair I will be doing a robot or something next time.
I'm enjoying doing 1-bit art lately. May start tinkering with more colours soon, but for now this is nice. (this image featuring @wuckajuice.bsky.social )
