Done with a nib pen, India ink and sloppy watercolour.
I really appreciate the onomatopoeia of “crash” finishing his sentence. It’s a really clever use of panel flow, and let’s it really sell the motion.
Enough other compliments have been made about how funny it is so I’m gonna nerd on your technical skills instead.
I do wish their was some more texture to the meat stick throne, but that’s just cause I find the visual idea to be funny.
Thank you. I appreciate that you took the effort to give specific compliments and critique.
I agree about the meat stick throne. I wish I had taken a little more time with the watercolour application, maybe so that the red of the meat sticks would be the focus of the last panel, and not be competing with blues and pinks.
I also hesitated to show the trucker on a meat throne, because I wanted him to be less of a king and more of an equal participant in the revelry, but I couldn’t think of another pose for him. Plus… meat stick throne!!
Just for fun, I’m attempting to attach another photo I took of the comic, in sunlight, with brighter colours.

The engineers do the math and design the height of the ramp and rolling resistance provided by the gravel to stop the truck before it gets to the top.
Then how do you explain the Sasquatch Jubilee?
The engineers design the gravel to turn into a powerful sedative/hypnotic but only if you run a truck into it at high speed.
In truth the driver blacked out, all was a dream.
Yeah but they didn’t factor in the extra mass from all those gas station pepperoni sticks so
This needs to be a whole thing now. I love this
Aww, thank you!!
This comic is amazing, thank you so much for referencing Sasquatch and beef jerky all in one fell swoop.
Ugh it’s perfect, I need more absurdist comics like this!
I love this and would totally read a story about what happens next
Wakes up from a coma in a hospital bed 10 years later. Realizes it was all a “dream” from his head injury sustained in the crash. As he accepts his return to reality he gets wheeled out to a car in a wheelchair and turns to thank the nurse and say goodby to the hospital. The nurse is one of the woodland creatures.
He realizes that the non-sasquatch elf characters are also travelers who veered off the path, and slowly transformed into elves.
New people arrive over the years in various ways.
You know what?
Yes.
Lovely comic and art. I’m still deciding on how I interpret the character’s de-aging after the crash.
You should interpret it as me making this comic quickly and forgetting to fill in his hair colour in the first panelThe magic forest restored his youth.
Also, thank you for the nice compliment!
I interpreted it as he has a concussion, and all of this is his dream as he’s passed out still in the truck
Whoa. I never thought of that, but it could very well be his dream.
A little Sasquatch jubilee goes a long way!
Where can I see more!
I don’t have a website or social media with comics, unfortunately. I started making these recently to share with friends (as motivation). There is one other comic I posted on Lemmy, but it’s in a different style.
Maybe in the future? :)
I love it!
More please 🙏
