These are pretty good. They remind me of funny Phillip K. Dick stories, which I assume explains the "Horsefat" reference in a few of them.

Oh yesssss thanks for posting this, otherwise I would have missed the Skip Tobey comic book! (On sale here in case you didn't scroll to the end).

Having only just learned that Chuck Tingle was actually really publishing the works he posts photos of rather than just being a denizen of Weird Twitter/Tumblr in the vein of liartownusa, I no longer trust my ability to understand what I am seeing on the internet merely by looking at it. As such, I'm going to need somebody to tell me what I'm looking at, here, because while it looks like a webcomic, it might very well be a serialized anthology of aardvark pornography, and I'd really like to avoid making even more of a fool of myself.
