It took me three days to draw this toilet
After one year and four months of updating five days a week, it finally happened: I missed a comic update. I wanted to do something cool for comic #1000, and I ran out of time -- I didn't even get to start it! The last few months I've been able to precariously balance parental responsibilities and comic work, but frantically trying to finish the comic in the wee hours of the morning two minutes before update time was fine for 20-year-old-me, but 30-year-old-me is wrinkled and dying.
I'll be taking a short break for the next week or two to get my schedule in order. During that break, these things are going to happen:
- I'm going to work out a happy a balance between doing dad/houseband (house husband) stuff, and comic stuff
- I'm going to return to my old schedule where I dedicate different days to write, sketch, ink, and shitpost, which allowed me to pump out 5-7 comics a week and build up a buffer
- I’m going to fix a few outstanding problems on my website
- I'm going to finish comic #1000 which is gonna be super cool because it's gonna be all interactive and shit
I hope yall understand. Thank you for sticking around and being patient with me while I figure things out. Much love as always.
In the meantime, if you have any questions regarding the comic (or anything really), send them my way or comment down below. I've seen other artists do Q&A comics, and I'd love to give it a go!
Oh yeah, one last thing: some of you sick fucks joined because you wanted to see nude photos of my cat but I haven’t delivered yet because it was a joke but I never want to have it said that Enzo is a liar so here you go perverts

Hi,
Spring break is here (or recently happened), and summer break will arrive before we know it!
I think it's important for kids to enjoy their much-deserved breaks, but just as important is making sure they're still learning so that they're ready to go when school starts again. Would you agree?
If you're open to receiving guest content submissions for your site, I'd love to write an article for parents who want to keep their child’s mind going during breaks. The piece will include ways for parents to help their kids with their studies. I'll also talk about how arts & crafts/hobbies can help provide a healthy outlet for students and improve their focus on school. I'll elaborate on this point by including a tip on updating/modifying your home to include a space for arts/crafts/hobbies.
What are your thoughts on this piece? Would this topic be of interest to you?
Thanks so much.
Kris

What? What does this have to do with this comic?
Prob A.I
I wrote 14/45 comments... god that’s way too much
hey enzo can you make a comic about that fucking penismobile thing you made like 8 yrs ago
oh yeah i remember that one
I don’t think he can. Because he’s also posting on gocomics now he can’t have his comics as inappropriate as they used to be. But that’s just my theory
Wait...a fucking penismobile or a FUCKING penismobile. (Reference to when frank pulled into the hospital and said this man Needs a fucking doctor! In the mouseover text Enzo wrote: “a fucking DOCTOR or a FUCKING doctor. Sounds like the intro to a bad porno.” I read this comic way too much....
i meant the first option, take off the fucking and it would still be the same question
I know it was a sex joke
always checking!
Ditto!
Same!
Lol
Hey Enzo. Guess what. I’m 99% sure this is your commented “strip”
Checked. It is by a landslide
Still checking in on the regular. Don't want you having less clicks!
Ditto. Even tho I’m @ school I’m checking in every hour!
Hi!! Just wanted to say your strip is in my top 10 and I LOVE it!! Hope your time off is going well and those of us who are sick perverts look forward to your return!
I know this comic kicks ass
Yo Enzo (sorry for asking so many questions I’ve just read this comic for a while so I have a few questions)
Why did you decide to call this comic cheer up emo kid
Hey Enzo what drawing tablet do you use because I do animation and stuff and I want to upgrade
Hey! I use a Cintiq 22HD when I'm at home on my desktop computer, and a Wacom MobileStudio Pro when I'm on the go (although that doesn't happen nowadays). The 22HD is a quite old and I'm sure they have some updated models now. I still swear by Wacom, though. I had the opportunity to try out different drawing tablets and Wacom was my personal favourite. That being said, I had to work a long time to afford them because they are $$$
haha neat I use a Huion H610 Pro V2
I looked all of those up. Those... are... PRICEY!!!!!
Yo Enzo because your doing a q&a I wanna ask you this why did you want to make comics and who inspired you
I've always enjoyed telling jokes and drawing, and growing up I read a ton of comics. Mainly Garfield, Tintin, and Calvin & Hobbes. When I realized that I could do it on the INTERNET after I started reading Penny-Arcade, PvP Online, and PBF Comics, that's when I knew it was exactly what I wanted to do. This was back in 2003, so it's been... 18 years jfc
That’s really cool! Thanks for answering my questions
Dude! A NSFW tag would have been really helpful.
Was scrolling down when a coworker entered and saw me looking at nude cat pics...
So embarrassing, will probably never stop hearing about this.
Best Regard 🙂
YO I'M NOT THE ONE LOOKING AT NUDE CATS AT WORK
Hi enzo
Oh man... I was at school... my teacher walked up and was like “OH MY LORD.... CAT PORN!?!?” So embarrassing...
Personally I'd be more happy with gaps (days of no uploaded comics) then you getting burnout/feeling that it's to munch work and quitting. I'm more then happy for you to order what you need to to keep this going and have a happy wife and child
I've been strongly considering cutting down my update schedule, maybe to three times a week. I went up to five "just to see" if I could do it, and I guess I can, but it leaves very little wiggle room!
Personally i wouldn’t want gaps because I love just waking up going to school and getting my daily laugh. But if it’s too much for Enzo then it’s ok I guess
Enzo! Love your stuff. Are you thinking of putting out a second book?
Hell yeah. I've been wanting to do a second book for a long time! I was even thinking about doing a Kickstarter last year but I didn't feel good about the idea of selling stuff to people in the middle of a pandemic
What’s a book?
All humans need time-and aliens, and cats and everything- take as long as you need
I appreciate that, thank you!
Not me. I have TOO much time XD
old age gets the better of us all Enzo, but you are still amazing and we will be around when you get things figured out. Be well buddy
Thank you Johnny. As always you are too kind.
It could be worse. I’m the oldest child, and I go to middle school but both of my parents are over 40
I was going to make a comment in jest about Enzo being lazy, but really I don't have it in me.
You're doing great pal. Take it easy.
Thank you, I appreciate that! And I mean, I am lazy. I can't even finish this sente
Such a hairy pussy!
Oh my
*licks lips*
#Q&A Hey Enzo what is your cat's name?
When we first got her, her name was Amelia, but I decided her name would be Pixel when I brought her home. I thought was being all cool and original giving her that name but to date I have found at least two other webcomic creators who have a cat named Pixel. There's probably more.
Darn, it Enzo you can barely see the good parts!!
Anyhow, good luck with getting everything reorganized. I know everything will work out.
Thanks so much! You're gonna have to subscribe to her OnlyCats to see the good stuff.
Take care, always enjoy your work 🙂
Thank you!!
Okay Enzo! I hope you get organized and have a nice break and sorry for being pushy for the 1000th comic :p
Don't apologize! I honestly appreciate it because it means you care, and I'm grateful for that. Thank you!!
Ok!
