Thanks everyone, I tried to add as much feedback as possible into this but as it got longer and longer I had to really hold back... but I think it hit a nice balance by the end. It took Sofi a half hour to read this so keep ...

I'm going to write a special "What's Next" just for Patreon, just give me a couple days to get my thoughts together. As always, thank you all so much. I'm left speechless at the massive amount of encouragement and support thi...

A couple people have messaged me over the years asking about the music I like, or listened to when creating the webcomic, or what I would make as a "soundtrack" to the webcomic.
WelI, I put these 100 songs together that represent that. There is no order (or is there). It's a lot of big hits but I also tried to include artist who y...

I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank the person(s) who is spending countless hours creating this absolutely amazing tribute to the comic: 2023-07-14 21:09:29 +0000 UTC View Post
I'm an artist, I think everyone here gets that. I'm NOT a businessman, but you know... I'm also not stupid. But damn, the business side of this comic (that the IRS forced me into) is turning into the biggest clusterfuck ever.
In years prior, doing my taxes at the end of the year meant I would get a little money back. But in 2021 I crossed ...

In case you missed it, I posted a "Boring Update" but buried in the intentional wall-of-text was a secret giveaway.
I recently did a "Paper Test" (pictured) for the print version and decided to give away the 24 double-sided glossy sheets to the first 24 people who followed the contest instructions (post about the comic to your favorite so...
Okay, here is a second surprise! This is the "masterpiece" that I mention in chapter 87 (https://elan.school/87-epiphany/).
This is a very low-res version because I can't seem to dig up a high resolution one at the moment. But yeah, I came up with this weird style w...

I wrote this piece about a decade ago and to be honest, I find it especially interesting because it is so UNLIKE anything else I have ever written. Most of the music I've created over the years is nothing like this. This piece sounds like something written...

Hey guys, this website from Lithuania reached out to me with some questions, because they were putting out this article about the Troubled Teen Industry. It's pretty rare for me to do interviews or articles but for some reason I answered. Anyways, I linked the article but also thought it could be cool to show you the questions and my full answer...

This chapter is dedicated to my friend and former boss "Louis". He passed away from cancer in 2016.

Here are some bullet points
- Get ready for new chapter tomorrow! I've actually (pretty much) finished a chapter a full day ahead, which is super rare. Usually I am putting the last touches on a chapter or writing the final words less than an hour before the public receives it.
- Here's a piece of art I made for the chapter, a day ah...

Hey you lovely people.
As the webcomic reaches its end, it's time for me to jump into the "holy shit, I need to take almost a thousand drawings and ALL the text and convert this mega-vertical mess into an actual, normal-sized, spread-paged, physical book that someone can hold"... phase.
Now I could have jumped right to the "find a ...

I recently saw a comment on Instagram (what app do you use to make your art?) and when I replied to that comment I realized I had a lot more to say then I thought. And then I thought, I should write something to the Patrons, they've been waiting for a while for me to add another "Joe's Journal" or just a text post at all.
And I thought (af...

1) Chapter 85 fucked me up a lot more than I thought it would. Thanks for waiting a little longer for this new one.
2) There are only 5 "first editions" left at the $25 tier. Then the price will jump.
