Ahoy hoy!!

I'm Alex, a Canadian cartoonist and illustrator who also paints murals!

I run Pip and Gunko, a webcomic series of vignettes about two idiot friends. It has it all: anxiety, love, vulnerability, and the joy of being an absolute menace.

Mornin’ chums! It’s the weekend, so I’m opening DMs to ANY new or aspiring comics creators who want advice on writing, art, or the industry at large. Ask ‘em if you got ‘em!

Jaffe just reminded me of this. Our 10-page story in here is probably the densest we’ve ever packed gags into something, but like all good clowning if they’re all you see you’ve missed the real show

i've never seen the entire city turn on a guy so fast lmfao
Nine days into the NHL's regular season, the Winnipeg Jets are 2nd in the league, without Connor Hellebuyck playing.

Hellebuyck, meanwhile, has forfeited US $344,044 (and counting) since the Jets started their season without him.

You can track how much money he's giving up, second by second, here:
Connor Hellebuyck has forfeited $344,044
That's as of Oct. 7, 2026, 9:34 p.m. CT. It goes up 45 cents every second. Watch it live.

drew a promo slide for the end of IG posts and committed to a couple of goalposts for upping my posting schedule. I think $750 CAD/month on Patreon or 5K followers on IG is a doable effort/reward ratio? money good, and metrics unfortunately important if I wanna physically publish later on (and I do)

plus I have things scheduled good 6+ months ahead as it is. those numbers are a ways away yet so by the time I get there, cutting that buffer in half will be a relief, actually. and then patrons will get two stories a month instead of one!

i wish threads and facebook and linkedin etc didn’t exist because sometimes you want to share a little story that felt like a win and might be helpful to others in a thread but then you post and immediately think “damn, you threads-ass bitch. did everybody clap too”

i keep getting WILDLY overstimulated by my 4yo running into my office and demanding my attention before i’m even done work which results in both of us melting down. i have seriously lacked the language to convey the depths of my shitty brain to her, but i might’ve had a breakthrough?

Alright, I guess I'm doing this.

I HAVE RETURNED TO PATREON.

Most of you are aware that I lost my day job and have been unceremoniously thrust into the role of a full-time Comic Person. While my lettering work is certainly robust, I still need more help than that.

October 7, 2026 at 9:21 PM
holy fuck i already hate youtube but whenever i actually need to watch something to learn how to make something it's like HEY BITCH ARE YOU EXPERIENCING INTERRUPTIONS and i'm like yeah man i am and then it laughs and spits in my face and farts on me
