I’m Buckminster Burkeswood (I’m also, mr.prol1f1c), and I live in the layer above this one, the part you mistake for déjà vu. I used to be indecisive, but now I’m not so sure.

  • The fonts I use for this comic are Comic Relief bold (in Photopea), and that has been discussed too here with proof and screenshots: https://reddthat.com/comment/24099891

    To be honest, it’s not my fav font. I also tried Patrick Handwritten, but it doesn’t look great at smaller sizes. Every comic font I have used, when I save as a .jpg the spacing gets weird. I’m slowly switching over to GIMP, so maybe it’s just a Photopea problem.

    I could just use some random sans serif font, but I don’t like how they look, so I try to stick with fonts that at least look comic-ish.

    I don’t hand letter. Never have in my whole comics career. Also, many times I change the text right before I finish. I spend more time on the writing than I do the drawing. lol














  • Non-horse kid is weird because “he” was a girl when I drew this strip originally, and changed it up on computer in post. The girl is actually from my other comic series, and her attitude doesn’t fit. Because I am turned Centaur Boy into a douchebag. Also why weird cropping in last frame. And why the boy’s face still looks like a girl. I didn’t want to redraw, so I did stitch up in post.

    If this was going to real print, I’d work harder. But it’s Lemmy and I like putting the stuff out there fast and quick. You’ll also see the version on .blaha where someone crossposted before I noticed my cut and paste in bottom was off in sizing. So it looks different than this one.

    Brah, think about it: if AI was what I used, then I would have just told it to fix it. I’ve already put my steps up in my comm with pics of my process and screen caps of my photopea layers set up.

    I’m happy to talk process, storytelling, scripting, fuckups, etc, tho. Especially if u are a fellow cartoonist! But you’re reading way too deeply into it. I sketch my shit, magic maker a bit, take a pic w my phone, take onto computer, fill solids, add dusty overlay and specks, and post. It ain’t that deep. It ain’t that good. And it ain’t ai.

    Try it. Go tell ai to make a comic about a horseboy. I’m sure it’ll do a better job than I did! lol

    EDIT: Young Lemmy really really needs to look into the 1960’s underground alt art movement. Mickey mouse fucking and eating ass (air pirates), betty boop being a slut, the scribbles of Jimbo, and weirdness of Raw. Also a lot of examples of using cheesy art to be sarcastic and wild. Any of that shit was posted now, you’d all cry ai. Someone the other day bitched that my art was too ugly to be created by a person (thanks!), and obviously he had never seen the Far Side, or the Oblongs or the original Addams Family strip from way before the tv show. Seriously, just wikipedia “Underground Comix.” Oh and go discover a punk comic called “Jimbo,” cuz uh… cuz that artist is GOAT!


  • I have several styles, and showed you how I do it, I also do Kloop!, Krunn and Frank, Beyond 8100, Ashtray Gospel, Snibbles, Pen!shedd, Anarkizt Kid, Man with a Casey’s Cup for a Hand, It’s Jayce!, Poopdeck Pappy, among others for my local alt weekly’s in real life. I’ve been around and illustrating long before ai. If you wanna see ai slop in everything you look at brother, then that’s on you.

    I’m retired and I do lemmy comics for free to add content. So you liking or not liking my stuff makes no significant difference to me.

    Trust me, I’ve had way meaner comments directed toward my stuff than an accusation of ai! Welcome to the art life for all the kiddies out there. lol Carry on, man. We’re all gonna make it out ok. :)

    EDIT: Wait till you see the crap I’m working on today and tomorrow. You’ll hate it! lolol
