57 – Turf Wars

Doug — Wed, 16 Sep 2015 04:00:00 +0000

If you don’t get this comic, you’ve probably never played Splatoon or heard me gush over how great it is. Over the summer I became hyper-obsessed with it, playing it practically every night. I’m even at the point where I watch Twitch streams of other (better) people playing it.

For those unfamiliar, Splatoon is an online game where you play as a kid who also has the ability to transform into a squid (kid/squid – get it?). It’s a shooting game, but, instead of shooting bullets, you shoot ink. You can them swim through this ink as a squid to fill up your ink tank and regain health. In the basic mode – Turf Wars – you shoot this ink to cover the map in your team’s colour. At the end of the match, the team with the most surface – or turf, if you will – covered in their ink wins. Simple. Colourful. Fun.

56 – Super Smash Toads

Credit for this idea goes to Reddit, specifically u/Erekai and u/Moophf. After I started thinking of Toad using Peach as a meat shield, I just had to draw it. Unfortunately, it took a month to draw and I was super busy the first few weeks of January. But better late than never?

55 – Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

I whipped up this comic last night for #BellLetsTalk day today. If you don’t know, that is the day that Bell gives 5 cents for every tweet with “#BellLetsTalk” in it, as well every text and long distance call made on their network, to mental health initiatives. It’s a day to talk about the importance of good mental health, to end the stigma, and to force a giant corporation to give money to a good cause.

I’m pretty open about my OCD. I don’t think it’s a big secret that I’ve been dealing with it for more than a decade. This comic depicts what it was like before I got help. I’m glad I did, or else this comic would never be updated because I’d still be washing my hands for the 50th time to make them clean enough to use my precious computer. (I wish I was exaggerating, but I once actually did wash my hands 50 times back-to-back. For what, I don’t remember. But you can bet it was a stupid reason.) I’m better now, and have been for years (it has nothing to do with no comics since 2011). I still probably wash my hands more than a “normal” person (if such a person exists), and I still won’t touch most door knobs, but, in general, I’m fine now.

Anyway, if you’ve been suffering in silence from any sort of mental health issue, whether it’s OCD, depression, anxiety, or whatever, talk to someone – a doctor is a good place to start. Life’s too short.

54 – Welcome Back

Well, I’m back. I’m gonna try to update semi-regularly. I can’t promise once a week because that was killer and the quality showed, but hopefully once a month. And that’s not an empty promise this time. I even have another[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Hey Everyone!

You may notice that Right Brain Comics got a shiny new coat of paint. Could this mean new comics are in the future? Only time will tell…

(Yes. The answer is yes.)
