Where has the time gone!?

The line I've heard most since becoming a dad is to appreciate every moment I have with my baby because time has this cruel way of speeding up while all this wonderful and cute stuff is happening. So, that's what I've been trying to do! Even still, there's no freezing in a moment for long. I see these little changes in my daughter, some last a few weeks, some exist for just a blip. It's difficult to not want to be there to witness every expression, every new experience. I'm also feeling a str...

Eisner Ramble

I won an Eisner Award for Best Webcomic!!!


I'm in disbelief that it happened at all, and (relatively) early in my career too! I've had fantasies of winning such a big award, but I was left with few words to say when it came time for me to go up on stage to accept it. I have a very loud voice in my head that is constantly reminding me to be humble or to appreciate the great fortune I've ...

Your poor neck! + how old is this baby?

Mélodie's mom is visiting us for a couple of weeks, so I had some time to throw a quick comic together today!

We continue to find animals that our daughter is reminding us of each week.

Fledgling

Since we have our own newborn, I thought it would be fitting to reshare this story I made a couple of years ago for Patreon. Here it is again all in one post! Originally, it was supposed to be one single strip, but I kept having little ideas for it, so I decided to make something a little longer but not Kneesvember-length. I made it just a few weeks before starting Woven, and I think it really helped me get back into the mindset of writing something longer. It's pretty silly and the ...

Ew, It's Beautiful

The following is an ad comic I'm about to post on my social media. For reasons that are still unclear to me, the release date has been moved up from August to July 15th. I'm told by my publisher that it may have to do with the demand for the book, that maybe its first printing is already selling well online and to stores? Also, a little bit of insider trading here: I've been told that the price may increase with the second printing. Who knows how the publishing industry works! Why is it so my...

Drawings for my daughter

Whew! I get a little flutter in my heart when I write out the words "my daughter"!

I haven't had a lot of time to draw in these last few weeks, but I have done a small card for the first three weeks after the birth of our baby to commemorate her overall disposition in animal form for the previous week.

Quick Poll For Your Opinion Which I Greatly Value

Would you like me to post old False Knees comics here on Patreon? I typically post an old comic once a week (never more often than that) on social media, and I'm wondering if you would like to see them here as well. Thanks!

Knees In Motion

Here's another animation made by @robin.animates (on Instagram). Very cool to see my little fish swimming around!

Based on this comic from 2018:

Here at False Knees Inc. we are getting prepared for the new addition to our company (and family), which means we will be shutting down the store on May 1st for an indeterminat...

False Knees Studio (and Life) Update

Hey pals, new and old!

I want to thank all of you who have put in orders for Life After Life–you are keeping Mélodie and me very busy! Inevitably, I will have forgotten to include a special print in some of your envelopes. If that is the case, please let me know and I will make sure to send you one separately.

As I mentioned in a previous post, False Knees Inc. has moved offices from our apartment into our first ever studio! I tried to remove all things illegal from t...

The Kneesvember 2024 books are here!

I'm very excited to announce that the story I wrote in November is finally ready to be bought as a book in my store! After much deliberation with Mélodie, I've decided to entitle it "Life After Life". I didn't want to create a pattern of one-word titles for all my books, haha.

As Patreon members, you get first dibs, plus each book you purchase comes signed View Post

False Knees, animated

This animation was made by Robin Zimmer (https://www.instagram.com/robin.animates/ ). He approached me a few months ago asking if he could animate some of my comics, and after seeing some of his other work, I was really excited to see what he came up with. I've been asked a few times over the years if I would ever like to see my comics animated, and I've always been a bit wary, not thinking that they would ...

A Kneesvember 2024 Post-mortem

Unlike Woven from last year, I didn't really have much of an idea for what this year's Kneesvember story (title TBD) was going to be about until it was about time to start making it. I had had "Chickadee explores an apartment (post-apocolyptic? [sic]) written on my ideas board for over a year, because there was some imagery in my mind that I thought could be fun to try to put on paper, but ...
