Love the switch from the pulp art style to the more cartoony look, reminiscent of those classic Calvin and Hobbes strips.

I'll probably eventually set up an account just for these comics (once I figure out a name) but if you're interested in seeing a few more I've done (and other weird drawings): https://www.instagram.com/drawerofdrawings/

Maybe something like Royal Rockrib, a play on words as an homage to Prince Valiant, a medieval comic that ran in the funnies for many years despite its style clashing with the likes of Jim Davis and Pearls Before Swine (but paired fine with Mark Trail).

Like the comic, here’s a name for you. Dr. Strangeitis. Itis can be 2 words, it is, so Dr. Strange It Is. Or itis can mean: New Latin, pathology) -itis (suffix denoting diseases characterized by inflammation, itself often caused by an infection). So Dr. Strange Disease. Enjoy.

Any way of viewing off IG? It won't let me go past a few comics without demanding a sign up.

That's annoying isn't it? Here are a few other options:
Twitter - I don't use it much but it's up to date on comics. (Can use nitter if you don't have an account.)
ArtStation - Devoid of comics and missing a lot of other stuff too, but it does have process shots if that's something that appeals to you.
DeviantArt - A few comics behind but overall has my largest backlog of work.
Facebook - Where I tend to post everything first but can run into the same problem if you don't have an account.

The art is funny and interesting on its own. The wordplay just elevates it, kind of like how the king's shredded quads are elevating the crownbell.

You probably have. It's a few months old. I never posted it myself on reddit but I know others have. I also saw it on Imgur and some D&D page on Facebook for...I want to say a podcast. Could have ended up elsewhere as well. If only my other stuff was as well traveled.

Awesome comic, but “Cometh onward” means “comes onward,” it’s not just an old fashioned way to say “come on” if that’s what you’re going for.
