Webcomic Day

Webcomic Day

Happy Webcomic Day!

I’ll be posting throughout the day on social media, but for you here’s the big full post.

Want to read some queer comics written and drawn by some queer folks for free?! I’m Jey Pawlik, and with my spouse Max Parker, we’ve got hundreds of pages in our archive, like the post-apocalyptic gay romance Dead City, the nonbinary autobio series Gender Slices, a 4-koma comedy comic about Darumaka and Lupin III fancomics.

The Alola Darumaka Process

Comic page split into four quadrants showing the sketch, inks, colours, and halftone effects on an Alola Darumaka page. The comic itself is four panels done in black line art with four shades of dusty pink. Panel one shows Darumaka sitting and doodling on a piece of paper with an Alolan Meowth napping behind her, Darumaka is humming with a little music note beside her. Panel two, Darumaka is still drawing and another Meowth has appeared behind her and is napping. Panel three, Darumaka has her hands up saying "Hey!" as a Meowth lays down in front of her and on her drawing. Panel four, Darumaka still with her hands up looks angrier saying "Gah!" as she is now surrounded by Meowths napping around her, heat lines coming off her body which just gathers more Meowths to her.

Here’s my process for Alola Darumaka using the ScreentonesCast template showing my traditional sketch, digital inks, colours, and halftone effects.

 

Dead City

The book cover "Dead City", drawn with choppy black line art and coloured with greens, blacks and yellows, showing Mikael and JP kneeling next to one another holding their own backpack straps with a dark Toronto skyline behind them as the sun sets. The bottom reads "Michelle Parker and Jey Pawlik"Comic page done in thick black ink and one solid 50% grey tone. Panel one, Mikael is walking over to the couch and JP asks "Are you okay?" and Mikael responds "Yeah?". Panel two, Mikael has sat down on the couch, wine glass in hand. JP asks "Are you drunk?", and Mikael replies "YESS!" Panel three shows a medium close up of JP saying "Isn't that a bad idea with all the zombies around?" Panel four is a close up of Mikael's drunk but smiling face, he says "You didn't mind last time" a bit seductively. Panel five is a similar shot but a close up of JP's face saying "But-- we should still be careful." Panel six pulls out and shows both boys on the couch together. Mikael saying "It's been ages since we saw one and they're all slow and clumsy now." JP says "Now?" Panel seven shows just Mikael from the waist up holding his wine glass saying "Right, you weren't out at the beginning."

Comic page done in thick black ink and one solid 50% grey tone. Panel one, a flashback to Mikael hunkered down in his dark messy apartment as the TV is the only source of light and narration reads “There used to be a lot and they were fast and violent.” Panel two, present day Mikael and he’s happily saying “But since they’re dead they rot, right?”. Panel three, flashback again to Mikael out in a dark warehouse where he’s searching through boxes. Narration reads “One time I was out looking for food” the sentence is left hanging over panel four, which shows a scared Mikael looking over his shoulder and the sound effect “Wok!” above his head.Comic page done in thick black ink and one solid 50% grey tone. Panel one, a continuation of the previous page’s flashback where Mikael is face to face with a zombie who’s decomposing and slowly meanering passed him, not noticing him at all. The narration reads “and one walked right past me! It didn’t have any eyes.” Panel two, back to the present showing Mikael lounging on the couch with JP next to him. JP asks “So the ones now are all rotted?” and Mikael smiles saying “Right!” Panel three, a close up of JP pouring himself a glass of wine on the coffee table in front of the couch while he says “Alright.”

Dead City is a completed post-apocalypse gay romance comic that focuses more on survival and human connection than the zombie aspect of the genre. Written by Max, this was our first comic project that we started in 2013 and finished in 2020! It’s still available to read online, but a newer fancy version was made into a book last year.

Lupin January 2025 Prompts

Lupin January 2025 Prompts

Black and white illustration with halftones, where Fujiko is sitting on a couch reading a book and Jigen is dripping wet while in a towel and holding a shampoo bottle smelling good but very angry about it. Jigen says "Fujiko! What did you do with my shampoo?!" in shaky lettering. Fujiko replies nonchalantly "Oh, calm down! Yours was empty, so I replaced it. And I thought you could smell better."

Black and white illustration with halftones, where Lupin and Jigen are in the audience of a magic show. The magician is clearly Zenigata in a top hat and moustache. Zenigata is standing in front of an empty human sized box and gesturing to it. Lupin in the audience has stood up and is waving his hand excitedly saying "Oh! Me! Me!" while Jigen sits beside him aghast saying "Are you serious?"

Black and white illustration with halftones, where Lupin and Jigen are sitting at a table in a restaurant. During their meal a large mascot character that looks like a deer in a suit and bowtie pops in and says "Well hi there! I heard it was your special day today!" to a surprised Jigen, who's clutching the table for dear life. Lupin is laughing in the foreground.

This’ll be my second year helming the weekly prompts over on lupiniii.club and it’s been so much fun! Here’s the ones I drew up for January: a married couple disguise, Jigen is very particular about his shampoo, audience participation, and Lupin tells the waiter it’s Jigen’s birthday when it isn’t.

The front cover shows Zenigata standing against a wall with his hands in his pockets looking to the left at a gay bar sign glowing behind him. "18+" is in the bottom right corner. The back cover shows a similar set-up but from the perspective of the gay bar sign, we are looking up some stairs to see Zenigata and Jigen from behind as they walk away into the night arm in arm under a bright streetlamp. Text reads "A NSFW Lupin III fancomic, where Zenigata is conflicted about his feelings for other men and unexpectedly meets Jigen at a gay bar." A yellow circle is in the corner showing a sticker of Jigen and Zenigata's hats on top of one another with hears coming off of them. Text reads "All paperback orders come with a sticker"

Promo image of "After All". Text in black on a yellow banner reads "Digital Download @ jeypawlik.itch.io - $8USD" The image shows two comic pages from the zine. Page 1 shows Zenigata's men searching one of Lupin's hideouts and finding a gay men's porn magazine. One officer asks Zenigata "Inspector. Do we have protocol for handling this?" he looks nervously as he holds up the magazine which shows a nude male model from behind. Page 2 shows Zenigata looking surprised then becoming serious. He says "It's evidence, put it with the rest." A timeskip happens and Zenigata is in a hotel room doing paperwork, he looks serious.

Jigen takes Zenigata's right hand and presses it up against his own chest, he takes Zenigata's left hand and places it near his own ass. The two kiss deeply on the hotel bed. Jigen leans in and says "That's it, stud."

On The Job

Lupin pops into Zenigata’s office for a surprise. But once he’s there things get a bit out of hand.

Cover illustration of the Lupin III fancomic "On The Job". A black background with a window above the title showing Zenigata from the nose down blushing as his tie is held by Lupin's hand which comes from the bottom of the window.

Comic page from "On The Job", Lupin has been thrown under a desk and his limbs are in an awkward position. Light speechbubbles bubble around him as Zenigata speaks to his commissioner.
