Also, whoever posted that comic about the bear making GBS threads on the bed should re-think some things.

Hold! This comic you are posting is wrong! Why are you posting this thing?

Okay seriously, why the gently caress is hotlinking so rampant again? It's like I'm back on the forums ten years ago or something. Is it no longer against the rules?

can we please get more owl, witch and cat comics?

They are are slowly changing, it seems.
Yeah, well that’s the thing. They’re growing up. It used to be more offensive as well. There’s a horrible one where they put all the stuff on Owl’s bedroom walls, that I’ve just gotten rid of. I still don’t think it was inherently making fun of rape, I don’t know if you know the strip in question.
I’m not sure.
There’s all these rape puns, like movie puns, they put them on Owl’s wall and stuff. I don’t even like talking about it. There’s too much of a hotbed of controversy. I just got rid of it. I don’t want to defend rape humor. I mean there’s the episode as well where they, you know, do that to Owl. It’s actually something that happened to a friend of mine, my bandmate Karl, in Horse Mania, it happened to him on his birthday. It’s just me stealing stories from the scene. But that’s just what happened in Hobart, I mean Hobart was like that. That was the idea of a “humorous prank,” like you know, it was weird alcoholic oddballs pretend to rape their friend on his birthday. Yeah, I feel uncomfortable about some of that material, you know, “edgy” material. I’m just kind of out of it all the time, I’m just plowing through this stuff, sometimes I just don’t have a think about it. I’m not trying to offend people or shock anyone, or be funny with it.
That’s kind of a hard thing when you’re doing a so-called comedy series.
Yeah, it’s not always a comedy though. I find it interesting, there’s a lot of 4chan threads talking about me and lots of different, odd opinions on 4chan, which I don’t even understand, I don’t know what goes on on 4chan, it’s just this confusing modern contraption. They all talk about me on there, there’s the YouTube comment level of activity sometimes. They make me think about it in different ways. They love all those, you know, “Where’s the classic rape joke one?” They love it. That level of fandom is a bit disconcerting. [The comics] are mostly just supposed to be depressing and horrible and just illustrating this horrible behavior between this horrible group and friendship dynamics.
When I read the story about Owl and the “birthday assault,” let’s say, I had to put it down for a bit. But I felt a good resolution in Owl asserting those boundaries.
Yeah. It’s challenging. It’s horrible. But that’s what it was like in Hobart, you know, that’s what happened to my friend Karl, he came round afterwards after it happened. He still hangs out with those guys. One of the people who did that to him just came out to Melbourne last week. He was like, “Oh, the cowboy’s coming over!” All excited. “Oh great, the cowboy!” He’s the horrible feet guy as well, at the party when they have the horrible feet contest, and Werewolf Jones just has these disgusting feet. That was the same guy that was involved in the birthday thing. Just the most disgusting feet. And he was waving that whipper-snapper around really drunk in the back yard. Just dangerous. Bad scene. I don’t know what the guy is doing that Werewolf Jones is kind of based on, with all of the crazy party stuff, I’ve got no idea what happened to that guy. I feel weird about it. I didn’t know whether to put that stuff in the book, like the birthday one with Owl, I didn’t want to totally censor that stuff but I kind of figure it’s part of the series that happened, it’s like an incident in real life. This poo poo happened, but can they move past it? They are growing, they are changing. This poo poo happened. It’s weird, it’s weird defending that stuff, trying to justify it. I don’t know if I’m adding to the problem. Sometimes you’re skirting boundaries, and I don’t want to be Dane Cook.

I thought I may have been first introduced to it by this thread, but I figured everyone joining us now and apparently unfamiliar with Megg and Mogg had missed that.

Somebody else mentioned that the creator must have had a hosed up life, so I wanted to share this excerpt from an interview, where people talk about the owl getting sexually assaulted on his birthday is just a thing that happens but at least it teaches him to draw boundaries with his friends in the future:

Now for some comics I do find funny, as an advance apology for potentially derailing the thread with more Megg and Mogg talk.

Back when we had a pretentious hipster irony zone, and back when it had a web comics thread, this lady (I think?) was published in a norwegian newspaper for like exactly two weeks and then if you wanted to read her good as hell comics you had to go to deviant art and
that's it you had to go to deviant art. She kept her comic at deviant art. So obviously I haven't seen her in years.

Does she have a real location for her art yet?
