We're back
After almost ten years, Brain Comics has returned!
What's changing? Probably not a lot.
The original comic ran for about five and a half years from 2006-2012, with regular updates for most of that time. To stave off the risk of RSI, and to free up my attention for other creative works, I ended the comic at that time.
Over the years since then, I added two additional bonus strips, commemorating the discovery of the Higgs boson and the first controlled landing of a rocket first stage after launch.
Flash forward to 2025. I no longer want a comic about SpaceX on the front page of my old webcomic.
Time to update!
I will be posting new strips on a whim. I'm not committing to a new schedule at this time. Maybe weekly. Maybe monthly. No matter what, I intend to have fun with it.
A disclaimer. This is an old webcomic. The kind with slightly embarrassing archives full of old drawings and aborted experiments. There's a lot of good stuff, but also a lot of bad stuff. If you go spelunking, temper your expectations.
Some of the comic has not aged as well as I would have liked. There are two things in particular I will call out here:
- The aforementioned SpaceX comic is now under a content warning.
- As pudding is a recurring humor element in the comic, there were a number of strips that made small side references to Bill Cosby's advertising work for JELL-O brand pudding products. Needless to say, this has not aged well, and I will not be making more of those references in the future. Since these references were never the full focus of the strip, I have left them intact for now, without content warnings. I am open to reconsidering this.
Okay, that's it. Have fun everyone, wear safety equipment, and don't feed the wildlife unless they ask nicely. Oh, the moose? He's faculty.
