Comics production of 2015-2017
I didn’t count my production since December 26th 2014, so here it is for the last three years. I felt like I didn’t draw anything at all except Sweet Peas, because of too much other shit to do, depression, and unfavourable living environments.
Number of pages and panels I have drawn since December 27th 2014:
– Hourly Comics Day 2015, 6/11
(The page where I’m naked in the shower is the 1000th comics page I have drawn!! Yay!!! V^(oo)^V)
– Piggy after the Apocalypse, 1/3
(I wrote one full script and one revised partial script, and drew one page, then I didn’t like it that much and part of it merged into Sweet Peas. But one fun thing about this comic was that the setting was Berlin but I changed all the place names and street names into piggy related names. Berlin -> Eberlin, Schönhauser Allee -> Schönsauer Allee, etc. …)
– Driftwood alternate ending/Gateshead Alternative Universe, 9/29
– Untitled ‘Aeron’s first girlfriend’ flashback story, 5/15
(I didn’t think it was original or funny enough to ever publish … until now, but only in Swedish, because while it’s funnier than I remembered, it’s still not good enough for me to bother translating it!)
– Cerebus cover for the 2015 Bilderberg zine, 1/5 (see below)
– Hourly Comics Day 2016, 8/19
– Black Dog On My Shoulder, 1/1 (see below)
– Sweet Peas/Sockerärter, 73/179
– Warmup piggy comics, 2/8
– Garfield cover for the 2016 Bilderberg zine, 1/1 (see below)
– Blue dress diary comic fragment, 1/3 (see below)
– Period diary comic fragment, 1/3 (see below)
– Christmas in Friedrichshain, 25/62
– Hourly Comics Day 2017, 11/33
– Snigelvännens trädgårdstips, 2/6 (published in Serienördens trädgårdsbok)
– Inktober 2017, 8/8
I’m pretty sure there were some more sketchy comics and one-panel-drawings, because I have more sketchbooks and stashes of drawings in my trailer, but probably nothing too significant.

(All-time total as of today: 1150/5092)
It’s not terribly much but it’s more than I thought. :<
I also wrote several finished scripts during these years, for short story and “graphic novel” length comics, but I didn’t have the discipline or faith in them to make them into comics. In some cases I might still return to them …

My Cerebus and Garfield covers for the Bilderberg zines in 2015 and 2016. The Garfield one was based on the title panel of this strip, an old favourite from my childhood …
I mean, I wish depression was a real, fuzzy black doggie who just wants to cuddle … So I tried to find comfort in that analogy.
Unfinished/fragmented diary comics:
I like how I changed it from “I’m going to” into “I’ll probably” ;_______; </3
That was a little before I drew Christmas in Friedrichshain, where I returned to the menstrual theme!

Bonus – some previously unpublished sketches from a sketchbook that I filled up recently:
Maybe a tattoo sketch
I had this brilliant business idea to paint cute and cozy piggy pictures and print them on stuff, at like society9 or whatever, but all the pictures turned out as nothing but tableaus of desolation and despair …
Sketch for an illustration (that I never drew properly) about what you (well, I) see in the mirror.
Concept for one of the many scripts I wrote, a desolation and despair piggy story …
