Check, check. Anyone out there? I haven’t updated this in literal years. Not that I think anyone looked at it to begin with but maybe there are readers of mine out there who don’t have instagram and get all their Rodeo Comics news the old-fashioned way: my website.

Enjoy this free short comic I made, from the out-of-print zine Wimp Digest by Josh Pettinger and I.
