What if being possessed by a demon was good for your mental health, actually?

Welcome to The Roommate from Hell, (or “Roomie” for short), a supernatural urban fantasy about a bunch of queers and their metaphorical and literal demons. Bowties are optional but recommended, pamphlets outlining the gay agenda are handed out at the door, and refreshments are in the back. Visit this post to learn the current update schedule.

If you’re a fascist, you’re not welcome to read this webcomic or interact in the comment section. It’s against the rules. If you’re reading this and thinking, “You just call everyone you disagree with a fascist,” then you’re probably a fascist, or incapable of drawing inferences from context and acknowledging a dangerous political climate that causes the oppressed to be hyperbolic. Don’t read this webcomic. Heal yourself. Grow. Learn. Watch some Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood or something.


Q&A

Q: Why are the pages square?
A: Makes the pages go by quicker because I have a short attention span. Also makes it easier to compile into a webtoons-format while still able to be printed in a graphic novel.

Q: When is the graphic novel coming?
A: When I get better at managing my serial procrastination, perfectionism, etc. External pressure helps, so feel free to harass me about it in the comments.

Q: How long does it take to draw each page?
A: Anywhere from 2 to 8 hours, but 5 on average.

Q: Why no color?
A: When I started the comic I had very little confidence in my ability to draw comics in color. Color theory still confuses me but these days I have better techniques. It also used to be a decision to save time but nowadays the rendering style takes about the same amount of time lol. Anyway, the style just stuck around.

Q: Are you a system/plural/multiple?
A: Yes, OSDD(1b), but we thought we were a singlet for the entire first four chapters of this comic. I guess my subconscious was trying to tell me something. We’re more out as a system in private spaces like Discord, where we’re also known as Symphony System, but occasionally we post about it in the blog section of page updates here, too. Feel free to comment and ask for details.
