Good day ma friend! Guess what? Prepare yourself since it’s finally time for some soothing web-comics! Do you love reading dark comedies alone, especially with the lights off? It is okay, though, that you heard it because today we’d like to lead you through the oddly funny world of comics. Let’s welcome Oakland, California-based cartoonist Joey Alison, whose art is described as funny, a little bit “NSFW,” and guaranteed to make you laugh nonstop. Lego!
Joey Alison, a mother of two, began creating her own comics around the age of seven. The daily comics in the newspaper when she was a kid were her very first sources of inspiration (Garfield, Peanuts, Ziggy, Mary Worth). She was a huge fan of Lynda Barry, Tom Tomorrow, and Ruben Bolling. She has always loved drawing on paper and then technology has made her creative process much simpler. The artist works in a lot of media and for a while posted her art on a LiveJournal and HTML website. Her passion is comics, and she also paints, creates paper sculptures, and plays music.
Joey loves to write, and often, a complete script will appear to her with just the needed details. In the middle of the night, her ideas may appear suddenly. Then, twenty minutes later, they are uploaded online after being drawn tirelessly. The narrative is usually thought out for days before they spend hours practicing with the images. In the artist’s experience, burnout is nothing unusual. She also writes the syndicated daily strip “Alley Oop,” draws a biweekly comic for “thenib.com,” and devotes a lot of her creative time to these projects. Although she had plenty of creative time for many years, she still has occasional burnout.
Joey’s comics are published on The Nib, Mad Magazine, a number of alternative weeklies, and the collection of the Best American Comics. She was just appointed the long-running comic Alley Oop’s new writer. Check out 25 of her funny comics below to be “gracefully” tickled. Enjoy!
