Description

So this is a story that I’ve been kicking around in my head for years and I’ve always been all NAW NAW NAW, IT’S TOO MUCH WORK, DON’T BOTHER but then I finally thought you know what? FUCK IT, I’ll draw whatever the fuck I want because I draw to pleasure myself because I am a  Roman despot and my art is a slavegirl feeding me peeled grapes.

Oh, what the set up! Right, so this is a bit of a spoof of old Christmas specials, like the Rankin-Bass ones you might remember from when you were a kid. If you’re my age. If you’re not, then you might not remember them. They tell me that no one wants to read a Christmas story when it’s the middle of summer, but this storyline is so long that it’ll be Christmas by the time it wraps up. So there ya go!

Love the 2 headed snow man! Looks like something I'd build... if it snowed here in these parts.

Thanks! It's a rite of winter to make a 2 headed snowman!

Why do you never put a single decent joke in Guttersnipe while you're fully capable of doing it with your other comics?

Is this just like your political vent or something?

Why do you hate freedom?

It's not freedom as long as my right to own slaves is infringed upon, commie.

I'm old enough where those RnB specials were a part of XMas, but not necessarily the only part. But surely I can see Christmas Comes to Robotland falling in between those specials and Die Hard. Whatta tradition!

All kidding aside, good for you on giving it a go so it can be done in time for the season, I like the resolve as well as the cute panels here. Cute Ragamuffin and nice bg setting work. Keep at it, pal!

Where does the name guttersnipe come from?

A guttersnipe is a mischevious, naughty little kid. And that's what the protagonist of this comic is!

The bent neck and smile make me think of terrible things... Love the black and white. Look forward to the rest.

Thanks for the kind words! Haha, most people think the bent neck looks like the dad on Rugrats, so that's a change!

God I remember them. Big old B&W tv too. Screw summer, that's the perfect time for something like this!

Big ol' BW TVs! With the big giant cathode ray back too, I'll wager!
