For every comic I publish on this site, there are a handful which don’t make the cut because they are not funny, too weird or too depressing. I have provided a few of my rejected rough sketches on this page for your enjoyment or bafflement. Follow me down the unfiltered rabbit hole of my brain…

Xmas Reject 1: I really like this one, but someone has probably already made this comic before. I don’t know if anyone has ended it with a bloody box and a smiling dog in Heaven though. The trouble with holiday-themed comics is that they are so specific and come every year so you’re bound to hit the same gags that others have before.

XX

Xmas Reject 2: Nothing trumps the humiliation of getting a crappy present, except the realization that it’s not even for you.

XX

Xmas Reject 4: I’m sure this gag has already been done before, but I like it.

XX

Xmas Reject 5: I had a glass ornament that looked like an alien egg growing up. The alternative ending to this one was the alien standing over the bloody bones and innards of Buni.

XX

Xmas Reject 6: I just like the thought of a Christmas tree being decked out in bacon and steaks as ornaments.

XX

Christmas Reject 7: I’m not sure if Buni would ever be this forward with BuniGirl.

XX

Xmas Reject 8: If you consider the number people who believe in Santa, and the ratio of people who choke to death while eating, Santa would probably die several times over each Christmas night while eating all the cookies left out for him.

Xmas Reject 9: This comic needs to be in color to make sense (a white candy cane and a red candy cane create regular candy cane babies). I’m not sure if ending it with two depressed parents was the way to go.
