His comics are like nothing else I&#8217;ve ever seen. The closest comparison I can come up with is he&#8217;s kind of like a cross between Jim Woodring, Mat Brinkman and Pac Man, but that&#8217;s not really accurate. His comics are weird, simple and spooky&#8230; they feel like they take place in a vacuum.
