The Stiff: Chapter 2: Page 45
I used to think that the Don Henley song “Boys of Summer” was actually “Poison Summer.” I still prefer that interpretation.

This definitely deserves more comments. I was never sure what to make of the Stiff, but I really liked it. It was interesting how it made regular humans sometimes appear as rotting and sick as zombies. That felt like a kinda deliberate choice.
I feel sorry for Jamie here, but some parents can be like that at least some of the points. Sometimes nearly all the time.
The first time I read The Stiff was on Girlamatic a looong time ago when I was in my mid teens I think? (I’m 27 now). Like Kaja, I also really couldn’t make heads or tails of it at the beginning, I just loved the artwork and the unnerving grotesque imagery. It was around here where Jamie started getting fleshed out more that I remember really digging into the story and enjoying it. Its been nostalgic rereading through this comic, I’m really excited that its getting continued.
Thanks for coming back! I’m looking forward to drawing new pages!! :)
