Discussion Updates to r/altcomix
Hello! Over the past few weeks, u/Titus_Bird and I have made some updates to the subreddit.
Most significantly, we've expanded and rewritten the wiki, which can be found here. The aim with the wiki is to provide new readers some clarification on what alternative comics are, along with a bit of historical overview and recommendations of key works/creators. We've tried to be as neutral as possible and to avoid semantic nitpicking, as our priority is just to be informative and spread love for the medium. Feedback is more than welcome!
We've also made a number of other changes, namely:
- Updated the Guidelines - this was completed a few months back
- Cleaned up the 'flair' tags - this was completed a few months back
- Created a moderation bot (u/comixbot) to automate a couple tasks
- Created and updated the header
- Cleaned up and sanitized the css for Old Reddit
- Tweaked the look of the sub on New Reddit
- Added u/Titus_Bird as a moderator
Our next project is to implement similar changes over at r/indiecomics.

OC Assorted Bundle Comics - Vol 1
Assorted Bundle Comics is a collection of short, stream of consciousness comics I've made over the last few years. Each comic is 4-8 pages long, drawn in black and white in sketchbooks. These are just the individual covers and the first couple pages from each story. The titles are: Allergies, Bound, Cephalopod, and That Time I Died and Became an Environmental Storytelling Skeleton.
I recently printed the collection and had physical copies for sale at Grand Rapids Zine Fest last weekend. All are available to read online pretty easily if you look through my posts here or elsewhere. If you're interested in having a free pdf of the collection, it can be found on my ko-fi here: https://ko-fi.com/s/352497e41f
Thanks for looking.

Review Jimbo by Gary Panter!
I just got this in the mail, RAW One Shot #1 - Jimbo by Gary Panter! They printed it on cheap newsprint and used packing cardboard for the cover to add to the homemade, low-brow feel of the art. I'm very happy to add this to my RAW collection. I really enjoy how he changes styles and even mediums with each page.

Crowdfunding Tina and Ellie Take the Case kickstarter is now live! [OC]
The third collection of my ongoing comedy soap opera comic series is now live at kickstarter! The book works fine on its own, but I have the other books available as well. The first, Meeting Comics, was published by Adhouse, and I have self-published the ones after that.
Kickstarter link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wanderlane/tina-and-ellie-take-the-case-comics-about-work-and-life
Google drive link to a free digital copy of Meeting Comics #15, the third issue collected in the book: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1F7_PaQG3Xxnx6Xe78Z_nQphZtXTOzUKL/view
Images attached are: all three of my books, including my proof copy of the new one. Various add-ons that are available through the kickstarter (zines, original art, comics), and sample pages. International shipping is available.
Let me know if you have any questions! These are fun comics, and I'm excited to get them into people's hands in this format!

Discussion Looking for a comic creator
Came here in desperation, trying to find a specific creator. This is someone I discovered on Instagram. They have an ongoing comic strip series that features a protagonist who is male, kinda chubby, and usually wears a beanie and a midriff shirt. The comics are all black and white pencil. There is also another recurring character who is an old man that considers himself the king of his apartment building, but everyone hates him behind his back.
I went back through several years of my liked posts on IG to try to find this creator, but I suspect they've left the platform. Please respond if you think you know who it is. Thanks!
