Time for some truths about animals. Schools and conventional activity books will only lie to you.
Are you guys enjoying Patrick’s New Comics? I am enjoying them so much! I love them all night and then I am gone in the morning, leaving my mess behind.
Did you know ALM is nearly over? I’m on the edge of my piano stool! So many babies! They’re spraying out all over.
Today I received a BIG PACKAGE from the sexy and unavailable Jason Viola. Here’s a hint about which giant comic he sent me. It is beautiful, I hope you get the chance to buy some of his originals someday.
Maybe if you beg on your god damned knees.
For a little while, I’m going to be removing the update schedule. I haven’t been able to do 2 or 3 a week for awhile because of other commitments, but it’s also so that I can produce better comics. When I can do them in my own time, you’re just going to get comics I feel really good about. This is good for everyone I think.
I’ll probably still be updating weekly at least, but that’s the way it’s gonna be for a while. I still owe you a couple of Wednesday comics though, and those are still coming. I guess those will be weeks with 2 or 3 comics :)
Don’t worry. I wrote about 20 excellent comic scripts today and I am so keen to do them.
OH! Patrick Alexander has a BRAND NEW COMICS SITE. I really admire his new system, and his recent comics are fantastic.
Soon I have my own exciting announcement which will come along with an appropriate comic. Secret things!
Only one more week to donate for sketches!
The original painting of this strip is (very lovely and) available for $215 (+$10 postage)! It’s 170 x 235mm on good quality paper and painted with watercolours.
The Spring Donation Drive will go until the end of October, so if you’d like a sketch/PDF/painting, make sure you donate before November!
Also: Sorry for the wait, guys. Right now, I am a cold’s bitch.
What time is it? Justin Hill says it is Time for Cute! Thanks Justin!
KinokoFry will be back starting next Monday!
Guys, thankyou for your patience! I’ve never seen such patience! You win the grandest golden Patience Trophy! It’ll be delivered soon, I promise.
Thankyou also for all the support! No, I’m serious. Believe me. I did not expect to receive a bunch of emails – positive emails – asking for more updates and being generally very flattering. I was seriously touched and I’m sorry I’ve not been able to update KinokoFry much lately. With TiNA and all the TiNA preparation and having to sort out a great number of things in my life at the moment, I have just had to take some time off it to get a bunch of things out of the way.
After 2 x 16 hour car trips and a week of busy, exciting arts festival in Newcastle, I am not surprised to find myself teetering on the edge of sickness right now. You better hope I make it to Monday! I could have the sniffles by then. :( Noone recovers from the sniffles. I have a family history.
I’ll be on a panel talking about comics at the National Young Writers’ Festival in Newcastle, NSW with two other really fantastic cartoonists, Chris Downes and Pat Grant. I’m not being polite – these guys are great and if you like my comics, you will love theirs.
The NYWF is a part of the larger TiNA festival (This is Not Art). The festival is on from October 1~5th. AND I’m hosting a Drawing Jam with Chay-Ya Clancy! Here are my times but come for all sorts of great stuff:
Making Better Comics
Friday, 11:00:00 – 12:30:00
Drawing Jam
Friday, 17:00:00 – 19:00:00
Seeyou there, I hope! It’s gonna be awesome. We will talk shop together.

Feel free when you donate to tell me which number booklet you’d like, or to suggest something for the sketch.

Thankyou for supporting KinokoFry!
This comic was inspired by James Balog’s TED talk, where he shows time lapse photography of the arctic that will quite frankly make your jaw drop. It’s beautiful and frightening. Frightening because it is proof of extreme ice loss. Give it a look.
You may have noticed a few changed in the site’s look. Lots of small changes but I think it looks much better, how about you?
I also gave my portfolio a revamp – pretty good, huh!
The Spring Donation Drive is still on if you guys wanna get your own original SKETCHES!
Or just help support KinokoFry!
Today’s comic is stolen completely and shamelessly from Rebecca Saxe’s TED.com talk on how we read each others’ minds, or rather, understand another person’s thinking. Specifically, a test to show the way this part of the brain develops in young children. Go and watch it, it’s very interesting!
The Spring Donation Drive is still going. Get yourself a lovely sketch!
Sketch suggestions welcome!

Thankyou so much to everyone who has donated so far! Every single donation helps keep KinokoFry running a little longer and better.
If Chris Onstad can do it, then I can venture to cheat a little myself. Today’s comic is a repeat!
I’m still snowed under with a bunch of work, and I’m almost on top of it but I’m afraid I couldn’t spare any time for a comic today. I wanted to give you something, so for those who have seen it before, I hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane (don’t worry, this is a one off, not a habit). This is one of my personal favourite strips.
ALSO, to those who don’t follow me on Twitter, and many who DO, here’s a preview of the inks of #084.
I should also mention that I’m going to be at the Writer’s Festival (more specifically, TINA – This Is Not Art) in Newcastle, NSW from October 1-4! I’ll be speaking on a panel and hosting a drawing jam, among some other things. More details for you soon!

Here’s Friday’s comic a little late. It’s based on a true story from my street! Pretty much.

It’s Spring! It is in Australia. Trust me.

Thankyou for suporting KinokoFry!
Since there are currently 3 extra Wednesday comics due, they’ll be put up throughout the drive.
Today is something special! I’ve been wanting to remake #035 (see the original here) for a while, because I think it’s quite a solid strip. It was also the very first comic I did digitally, and that does show.
Photoshop? Aha, no. No, my friend. No.
No.
Days of cutting and gluing. It’s my first venture into paper craft and I sure do hope you enjoy it!
Speaking of craft, a couple of clever readers have created some lovely KinokoFry pendants and clay figurines, and both are putting their wares up for sale if you’d like one. 50% of the profits go to supporting KinokoFry.
Check these out!
Gothic Enchantress is offering adorable pendants:
And Adaser is offering these wonderful clay figurines:
I might be getting ahead of myself but I believe both girls will take requests!
I am so, so very flattered. Thankyou, talented ladies!
Scientists have proven this to be the first expression of any new artistic medium.
A big hello to all the new readers! Gosh, it is lovely to have you. Stay for tea, we have it often.
I saw Alice Cooper last night in one of the most incredible shows/nights of my life (“Theatre of Death”, there will be comics about it), and I cannot forget it because my left ear is still ringing just as loudly as it was when I left! Need to look into getting some earplugs.
Permanent damage? Yes. Worth it? Hell yes. (But I’ll be careful from now on).
Also, this is a special comic because 83 is my favourite number – just for that reason alone it is special – and you are special. Particularly if you are Alice Cooper.
Thanks to everyone lately – you’ve been really supportive and it has really picked me up!
THIS comic is about how much I hate leaf blowers.
The…
on original inked KinokoFry strips will only be for a few more days, so if you’d like an original strip for peanuts – the cheapest peanuts – go get ‘em now!
OH!
Patrick Alexander and I made a video together! It’s a Michael Jackson tribute and… well… you ought to see it.
Katie – it is okay! You never promised. I forgive you.
Katie Tiedrich’s Awkward Zombie is going on hiatus so now would be a good time for you to go read her fantastic comics. She’s so young, how can she be so good? That is called talent.
Good luck. Perhaps it may surprise you to hear that this comic isn’t about how much I hate leaf blowers. Not just about that, anyway.
It was inspired by watching this talk on biomimicry by Janine Benyus, who is now my hero and I love her.
Although I was in utter awe of each of the examples she gave of people looking to animals and nature and learning from the brilliant ways they achieve what we strive to do, or do so clumsily and with so much waste, specifically, this comic refers to an idea I thought particularly exciting; being able to use CO2 (that stuff we have too much of) to create a new kind of feedstock, or raw material. An idea inspired by the fact that whereas we see CO2 as this horrible evil – and don’t get me wrong, it ain’t good for us – to plants and trees, CO2 is food! They take it and they use it to create.
Imagine the potential of that. People are working on it right now.
I’ll try to have a Wednesday comic next week, but I’m run off my feet right now working on a hundred things, one of which will positively rock your damn socks off and into your laundry basket when I announce it.
Remember there’s still a sale on original inked strips for one more week. A…
Firstly, I’m having a…
For the next 2 weeks only, you can own an original inked KinokoFry strip for $35. Or there’s one set of 3 for $75. A bunch have been sold already so if you’d like one, get thy butt… here.
Nextly, did you guys know that a hundred years ago I made an adventure game called Cirque de Zale? It’s a very simple affair, and it’s basically a Monkey Island clone/tribute. I cringe when I replay it, but it may bring you some kind of joy or laughter to see where an excited young girl spent 3 months making her first computer game.
The great thing is that now you can play it in English AND French! A lovely, lovely lady who shall be known as Shai-la of A La Grande Tasse Bleue went to all the trouble, all these many, many, MANY years after the game was long forgotten by all decent folk, of translating it in its entirety. What a champ!
Something a little different today. I’m trying a new colour scheme, and I thought it was about time we saw Branet again.
Apologies for no Wednesday comic this week. The page was taking a looong time and I couldn’t manage it without it being terribly late so it will be next Wednesday instead (and then the Wednesday after that, and so on for as many Wednesday comics as are owed for donations).
Jon Thompson was kind enough to review KinokoFry in amongst a smattering of other incredible webcomics for UK magazine, PC Plus! You can read his review and gross misuse of the word ‘phenomenon’ here:
Now that I’ve been mentioned alongside Achewood, I think I can die happy and arrogant.
Right now, for only 2 weeks there is a
on original KinokoFry strips! Damn, damn, damn cheap.
EDIT: If anyone is having trouble seeing the latest comics, please let me know! A couple of people are having trouble seeing past James Turner’s strip and I’m not sure what the problem is. I may have even fixed it already. Let me know which browser you use.
This comic was inspired by Carly Monardo and Chris Hastings’ adorable Commissioner Gordon (come on, the little guy DESERVES your vote!)
This original painting featuring a tonne of web cartoonists is still available!
It’s 230 x 320mm, painted with watercolours and pretty much the nicest thing I’ve ever done. It’s $325 (+$10 flat postage) and it’s going…
going…
Oh! I and anyone who wants to join in are drawing Tanaka’s Friendly Adventure friends here!
*Yawn* Gosh, is that the time? I bet you guys all have things to do tomorrow, huh.
Thankyou so much to Box Brown, KC Green, Jason Viola, Patrick Alexander, Nedroid, Magnolia Porter, Ryan Pequin, Ramón Pérez, Nick Wolfe, James Turner and Jess Fink!
Words cannot express how grateful I am to all these guys – at least not my inadequate words – so perhaps this painting will do a better job.
The original painting is for sale to one lucky person and one person only! Is this person you?
It’s quite large at 230 x 320mm (between A4 and A3 sizes) and painted with watercolours. Obviously, the original doesn’t have that text like the above image and is signed in the usual fashion. It’s going for $325 (plus $10 flat postage).
Going…
Going…
Regular KinokoFry will be back next week!
Yes! Yes! Yes! It’s Jess! Jess Fink!
What was it like being birthed from a rainbow, Jess? Gee, I bet it was fun.
Jess is nothing short of an explosive force of goodness in the worlds of comics and illustration. I love her work because it’s always so full of life and personality that it pours over the top and spills all over the rug, increasing the value of your shitty rug and extending its life for decades.
Chester 5000 XYV is Jess’ current darling and damn, DAMN, it is one hell of a great comic.
See? On top of the fact that it’s totally beautiful because Jess knows her way around good page/character design, it manages to combine a really well-written (and wordless) story with great, hot, throbbing, passionate sex. Really good sex, not the boring, creepy-arse shit that most people write.
Jess’ stuff will engage you, take you out to tea and then throw you over the table and roughly pull your hips in close.
Follow Jess on LiveJournal like me, and get this shit when its hot. I love, love, love this comic and Jess is a great, big darling.
Thankyou, Jess Fink!
