Sketchbook Silliness

I paused this webcomic back in 2020 when covid scrambled everyone’s eggs. Although moderately successful, the comics had not been earning me much income. Also, as our culture got more tumultuous I became interested in doing serious Christian comics, to try and speak into the madness. If I threw a Christian comic into the mix, those comics would often be among my most popular. But you can’t get away with that for too long with a comic that has “Silliness” in the title.

So I hit “pause” on Sketchbook Silliness to focus on my freelance work, sort out what I wanted to do with my comics, and just try to keep my business alive.

In 2023 I launched a new webcomic called Narrow Road Comics. It’s a serious Christian comic, a mixture of biblical themes and commentary on our modern culture. I post infrequently, focusing on quality over quantity. But I’ve seen some moderate success. A few of the comics have also gone viral with one recently gaining millions of views.

Still, I do miss drawing silly jokes and gags. As people tire of the culture wars, I think there is an appetite for plain old humor without any politics or agenda. Laughter really is good medicine.

So, I’ve decided to revive Sketchbook Silliness, sort of. I don’t have a lot of free time to spend on comics but every once in a while I plan to doodle up a silly gag just for fun. Sketchbook Silliness is still alive. Think of it as a relative who lives far away but will pop in for a brief visit once in a while.
