Month: July 2009

There is a reason a show with a name as memorable as Butt Attack Punisher Girl that comes with a wild enough concept to match has been lost to the passage of time. Despite setting out to be a wacky, sexual and crazy parody show, it’s strangely not at...

Original Post This is the second Endless Eight related comic I had in mind. I really like it, even if the punchline is really corny. That probably just makes it better. At first I was just going to draw them on the train in different ways, but then I...
