The Nitwits

Now anyone who has ever read The Beano will instantly recognize this as being incredibly similar to The Numskulls. And that's because this was more or less an attempt to see if I could mimic the style of British comics.
While this is undoubtedly a Numskulls ripoff, I've also included a reference to Inside Out via the colouring of my characters.
This was also an attempt to test out a new way of drawing everything.
I drew everything by hand, vectorized it, coloured it in, then combined stuff where needed (I drew the backgrounds separately from the characters).
Overall this all took way too long but I think it came out nicely all things considered. It definitely came out better than I anticipated, and I most certainly would not have been able to make this any other way. So I'm proud of it. I don't think I'll be making another one though.

If you think this is the funniest comic in my gallery, than you would really love to read the comics it was inspired by.
I poured over loads of issues, trying to figure out the formula they were using. Overall, I think I did an incredible job of doing it. And except for the art, I could definitely make several comics akin to this.

The formula was actually quite simple really.
Usually it involved a mischief maker doing something they weren't supposed to, or avoiding something they're supposed to be doing.
They then had their fun causing mischief until someone decides to put a stop to their fun.
It then ends with the mischief maker getting their just desserts, groaning, and someone (either the mischief maker or the one who stopped the mischief) making a pun or saying a play on words.

For some God-forsaken reason, this really reminds me of this comic series, only more colorful (loved the Nose Dep. sign as well
