Ah, how I miss my sci-fi project UNIVERSUM TIMORIS. But won't have time to start again until next year. Did you ever read it? #universumtimoris

Agreed. Kids ain’t stupid.

Panel 1: (Ronny sits at a computer, thinking.) Ronny (thought bubble): Hmm... I’ve never listened to this band before (SFX: KLIKK!) Panel 2: (Ronny is hit by an intense wall of sound; music notes fill the air, and he looks shocked.) Panel 3: (Bright explosion from the screen; Ronny shields himself with his arms.) Panel 4: (Ronny sits grinning next to a smoking, melted, and burning computer.) Ronny: Good thing I never use my own PC when searching for new extreme metal bands!

Chez Cuckoo: Smart move! 🤘

PANEL 1: OSO the fawn pug sits on an outdoor building ledge dressed in a black cloak and cowl, very much looking like batman. His eyes are low and serious. There is a city skyline in silhouette behind him. NARRATION: BATPUG: I am the night PANEL 2: OSO, still in costume, leaps across the panel. NARRATION: I am the avenging angel that strikes in the shadows. The dark knight that moves in silence. PANEL 3: OSO sits atop a round pole, city in the background, glowing moon in the sky. NARRATION: My very breath is a whisper. PANEL 4: Close up on OSO in costume, a pink glow behind him. NARRATION: MY VERY BREATH A WHISPER Sound effect: phneehgh phneehgh phneehgh phneehgh phneehgh phneehgh phneehgh phneehgh phneehgh —— Want 5,000 more comics like this?

COMIC: The Batpug Returns

Very nice 😊

Panel 1: Blue robot, smiling and holding a phone: "MY DEAR SON" "COMING HOME SOON?" Panel 2: Yellow kiddie robot standing in heavy rain, holding a phone, sad and shivering: "CAN YOU PLEASE COME AND PICK ME UP?" "I’M COLD, WET, LOST AND AFRAID" Panel 3: Blue robot, now frowning, replies: "NO, I’M SORRY" "AT YOUR AGE NOBODY PICKED ME UP" Panel 4: Close-up of the blue robot, now with a tear running down its cheek.

Just a silly thing I did a while ago 😅

(Ronny and Mounir are sitting at a table, drinking coffee and talking.) Panel 1: Ronny: Do you think I’m a bad parent for letting you babysit Balder this weekend too? Mounir: Well… Panel 2: Ronny: The band and I got a gig we couldn’t refuse! Mounir: But why not let Balder stay backstage? He likes the music! Panel 3: (Scene of wild party: Ronny surrounded by people in revealing outfits, drinking and dancing.) Panel 4: Ronny: For real? Mounir: Upon reflection, you’re probably a responsible parent after all…

Chez Cuckoo: Ronny is a good parent! 😅

Ice Cream - Chez Cuckoo Mounir and Agatha come across an ice cream shop, and Mounir wants a cone. What could possibly go wrong…

After a little summer vacation I’m back with fresh comic strips again! 🎉

Panel 1: A panicked man in spiked boots and black clothes (black metal parody) runs through water, shouting: "WHERE THE HELL DID THIS WATER COME FROM?" Speech bubbles: "IT..." "FUCK!" Sound effect: SPLOSH Panel 2: The man has disappeared off-screen. Water splashes where he was, and a tiny, sad-looking skull emerges from the water. Speech bubbles: "SHIT!" "PISS!" Sound effect: PLOP

Panel 1: Balder stands still in front of a soccer ball, looking unsure. Voices from off-panel shout: "Kick the ball, Balder!" and "Shoot!" Panel 2: Balder gives the ball a half-hearted kick. Sound effect: BONK! Panel 3: Balder stands still again, looking glum. Voices off-panel now yell: "Wrong goal, Balder!" and "Jerk!" Panel 4: Balder walks away from the field with a frown, thinking: "Idiot sport!" In the background, the other kids are playing by the goal.

Chez Cuckoo: This was me as a kid ⚽️😅

[Speech bubble:] SO NOW I'M KILLING HIM! [Sound effect:] SPLAT [Visual: Funny comic] A character with wide, panicked eyes and an open mouth screams as a black splatter (possibly blood or ink) explodes across the panel.

Uhm… What have I missed?

Love his splash pages!

Panel 1: A man in a green shirt confidently walks toward an open manhole. Panel 2: He casually walks over the hole without falling in, seemingly unaware of it. Panel 3: Another man in a red shirt and cap approaches the same manhole, puzzled, and pokes into it with a stick. A question mark floats above his head. Panel 4: Suddenly, a huge purple tentacled monster bursts out of the manhole and grabs him. His cap flies off in shock as he screams.

From beneath... 😱

Love the style

Just bought it. Looking forward to read it and use it.

😍

Panel 1: Greta splashes Emma in the water while Emma shouts, "Stop!" Greta laughs loudly: "Ha! Ha! Ha!" (Sound effect: SPLASH) Panel 2: Emma splashes back at Greta and asks: "You like it?" Greta, startled, shouts: "No! No!" (Sound effect: SPLOSJ) Panel 3: Greta and Emma continue splashing each other wildly. Greta squeals: "Iiiiiiik!" (Sound effects: PLASK SPLASH) Panel 4: Greta in the air, jumping onto Emma like a wrestler while she joyfully screams: "WOHOOOOO!" Emma looks terrified. Panel 5: Emma and Greta sit on a wrecked kiddie pool on the lawn, soaking wet and looking sheepish. Ronny stands over them and asks: "And how are you going to explain this to Balder?" Emma, pointing at Greta, says: "She started it!"

Chez Cuckoo: From when those two were a couple 🌊
