"Skull of Regret" (from 2010)
Another PFSC guest comic that kind of got out of containment and was popular on its own. Some kids even did a live-action reenactment of the comic! Wow. 15 years ago, eh? What a world!
We'll return to the little sketchbook comics tomorrow. It's been nice going down some of these old rabbit holes for some lost classics tho. Maybe I'll dig around for more, or if you got one you remember that is hard to find, let me know in da comments. Maybe it is findable, or perhaps we will learn together that it should stay lost.

Oh man, i've been looking for this comic everywhere forever, reckon was my first KC i ever saw!
I think I first saw your work through Hatesong.. how on earth did this happen so many years ago I am turning into dust
If you're taking requests, I would love to see the McRib comic since that one disappeared from The Nib
I think the one you mean was a repost of this gunshow https://gunshowcomic.com/885
I think I first found Gunshow from a link from PFSC so I was familiar with both of you by the time this came out. I remember reading the Skull of Regret in my RSS feed and it immediately seared itself onto my brain - the timing, the art, the message - just a perfect comic.
something I found really interesting at the time but never asked about: why are the borders between halftones and white fills pixelated? was it a deliberate decision or just an artefact you wanted to roll with? either way this one's a banger, loved it then love it now
T'was a style choice I was attempting at the time. I greyscaled it Normally, then did a pixelation filter on the Greys, then halftoned that, which gives that effect shown on this comic and others around the same time. It made it SLightly interesting, but maybe looking back was a dumb choice
I have a memory (possibly false) of an explanatory comic for the Oklahoma Bug Fighting Camp t-shirt design I would love to see again!
I did a bunch of little t-shirt comics for the store one drop, I recall what you mean. I'll search for em but they're around still
