I’ve been making comics for the internet for 10 years. I made comics for BuzzFeed for about two years, but people love to focus on those comics for some reason. They were simpler and quicker because I needed to publish at least one thing a day. And I loved it! I learned a lot! https://twitter.com/sweaterbutts/status/1246558108660510721

At some point when I was getting really popular, Reddit decided they’d had enough and launched a targeted campaign against me. Tried to doxx me multiple times. Sent death threats. All because I was making “lazy” comics and getting a media salary for it.

The ironic thing is, Reddit is what made me popular in the first place. I used to post comics there and they did really well. My first book deal and in part my position at BuzzFeed we’re made possible by initially going viral on Reddit.

Also, it’s always the same 10 or so comics that get posted as proof of my laziness. I made 1,008 comics at BuzzFeed. I counted. I worked really hard for my extremely mediocre salary.

Now that I’ve left BuzzFeed and don’t have deadlines anymore, I can spend more time on comics and only draw things I’m passionate about (like my dick). But make no mistake—if you like my stuff now, it’s because I pushed myself so hard as BuzzFeed.

I’m not even really complaining. I somehow got my dream job and if people don’t like seeing my stuff, the block button is your friend.

(But let’s be real, your Aunt Susan is still gonna share my comics on her Facebook timeline.)
