Bonus panel idea:

But yeah, he'll TOTALLY have sex before Kaigon ever does.

A few of you (including my wife) have commented that my strip has taken a somewhat darker and more sexual themed turn since my hiatus. I blow up a cat, I’ve covered the room / characters in blood on at least 7 separate strips, discuss penis sizes, talk about porn, kill a girl who was talking about having sex, lit her on fire, chopped up her body and buried her in a cat’s grave, and now I have a little kid hanging around a porn shop. The comments are all still positive, just more that they’re surprised to see my strip take this turn.

I’m kind of surprised that anyone thinks the strip HAS taken a turn towards the darker side though. This strip has ALWAYS been full of dark humor and sexual references.

Before my hiatus, I talked about porn, killed a character, lit him on fire, shot his charred remains out of a cannon, talked about small penises, revealed that a little kid was straight up forgotten for five years by his parents, and inferred that that same little kid glued himself to Shawn’s porno watching chair with used Vaseline while they read the title to Backdoor Nymphomaniacs 10.

Maybe it’s just more rapid fire now. Before there were cute alien kidnappings or slave prisoner clones or vaguely offensive religious jokes sprinkled in between.

By the way, it’s probably for the best that I’m not running Google Ad Sense yet… I can only imagine the sort of ads that would be popping up right about now.

Where’s Shawn?
