COMICS

accepted comics

• 
  Completely Smart, Issue 384, March 2009 My first ever NT comic from when I was ten, done with a mouse on MS Paint. I was ECSTATIC when I got the acceptance neomail like I legit lost my mind.
  At this time, my self-insert owner character was called Atty and vaguely existed alongside my pets. This was also when Meep was just an exact rip off of Komo from Spooky's design. The mutant gnorbu is an old pet, Just_For_A_Avatar, who ended up locked on a friend's account for the rest of eternity.
• 
  Completely Smart - Daily Dare, Issue 387, April 2009 My second published Mouse-drawn MS Paint comic and the last time my human self 'Atty' was and will ever be referenced or depicted. A rare sighting of Fofah while she was painted camo and wearing that stupid hat.
• 
  Completely Smart - Annoying Petpets, Issue 408, September 2009 Done on MS Paint again (obviously), right after I got my first Wacom tablet pen. Honestly I still kinda like this one despite its simplicity. My signature is also so funny here
• 
  Completely Smart - Chocolate Skeiths, Issue 410, September 2009My child self got legit hate mail for this one from someone who said I "stole their joke". As if this joke hasn't been made literally one thousand times in NT history. Nonetheless I do hate this one for that reason. The Uni is ol' Just_For_A_Avatar after I took the labray to her.
• 
  Completely Smart, Issue 428, January 2010 My first time using a program that wasn't MS Paint! I had a free trial of Adobe Photoshop I was trying to make use of. I ALSO got hate mail for this one where someone told me that it was the "worst comic they've ever read" and that it was stupid and unfunny. Not wrong but I was literally 11 years old.
• 
  Completely Smart, Issue 445, May 2010 my photoshop free trial expired so back to MS Paint for this one. Slight art style shift. Back when Mesliia was a Kougra and had a whole different vibe going on. I also finally learned about saving as a GIF on MS Paint instead of a deep fried JPG.
• 
  Completely Smart, Issue 448, June 2010 I remember thinking this one was sooooo good but like. Where is the joke. First appearance of Meep with their chartreuse pelt design after I realized everyone would know I was copying extremely popular NT comic Spooky with their design prior.
• 
  Completely Smart - 450th Issue!, Issue 450, July 2010 Avatar secured. I definitely followed some tutorial on a random petpage to draw the eyes like that. I also remember really regretting my author's note for this one. What did I mean by that. "I can't believe the NT made it this far!"? Did I think the site would have died before then
• 
  Completely Smart, Issue 456, August 2010 This was based off a real interaction my friend had with a child. The speech bubbles in this one make me physically ill
• 
  Completely Smart - Meuka, Issue 457, August 2010 I lowkey still like this one... I also forgot how often Mesliia was featured in my comics at this time (drag thumbnail to your tab bar for better view)
• 
  Completely Smart - Hideous, Issue 471, November 2010 Someone approached me for a collab on this one and I was like "oh thank god cuz I'm fully out of ideas."
• 
  Completely Smart - Fishing, Issue 529, January 2012 Over a year since my last published comic. Style change influenced by an artist on dA. I HAAAATTEEEEE this one. See last point about being "out of ideas". (drag thumbnail for better view or just skip this one pls)
• 
  Completely Smart - Don't Quit Your Day Job, Issue 576, January 2013 I was using a different free drawing program at this point. Obviously it doesn't matter because no long-term NT reader would remember it but reading these back to back I think it is really funny to reintroduce the character of Atty but she's a horse now and no one says anything. This was because I got the name Atty in the recent purge and decided to make her my self insert NEOPET instead of self insert OWNER. Also Cap's first appearance! (drag thumbnail to your tab for better view)
• 
  Completely Smart - Wings, Issue 655, July 2014 I finally got Photoshop. I still like this one. Meep wore that jacket as part of their on-site customization for years.
• 
  Completely Smart - CHOCOLATE?!, Issue 662, September 2014 Entered for the Chocolate Ball Edition but got put on normal style. Title is a reference to that Spongebob episode for some reason.
• 
  Completely Smart - TDMBGPOP, Issue 664, September 2014 I was sort of on a roll for a minute here, pumping out lots of comics during a particularly lonely year of high school. I mean- HAHA FART JOKE
• 
  Completely Smart, Issue 665, September 2014 The joke is "threatening physical violence".
• 
  Completely Smart - Soup, Issue 888, January 2020 BIG time jump. I used Procreate on the iPad now. I graduated college. I was in the midst of the deepest Neopian fugue state of my life. First official comic drawn after deciding that Fofah's inconsistent mane colours over the years was because she just dyes her fur.
• 
  Completely Smart - Surprise, Issue 891, February 2020 Fofah being abused by dailies again. I remember the NT being sort of abysmal around this time. Very few submissions and not much quality, plus reduced output for new editions. I thought it might finally die for real.
• 
  Completely Smart - Designated Baby, Issue 916, October 2020 Overdone joke. Just wanted to show off my new UC Baby Eyrie I adopted.
• 
  Completely Smart - Jokes, Issue 968, September 2022 Low bar sometimes okay. I like how I coloured this one though. VINCOTTO SPOTTED !! !! !!
• 
  Completely Smart - Chores, Issue 973, December 2022 He is LITERALLY a G R A P E.
• 
  Completely Smart - New Friend, Issue 978, March 2023 A friend for Cap. I just realized this is the first time Atty appeared in the NT painted brown even though I painted her like 8 years ago
• 
  Completely Smart - Beach Day, Issue 1002, February 2024 Love this one actually. Thank you to Isabelle for the inspiration. this one got deep fried in the actual NT edition so pls click and drag this one to view. Kind of funny that I've circled back around to deep fried jpegs because I don't know how to compress images from Procreate properly

thumbnails

remember when the custom thumbnail feature worked? here are some of my ugly thumbnails from over the years

• 
  Issues 384 & 387 I wish Jus didn't look like that. This was before I knew how to make custom colours in MS Paint so I had to use their default options.
• 
  Issue 408 This one is making me cry laugh. Who are you people. When in the world did I own a Yellow Skeith and a Ghost Xweetok. No memory of ever drawing this.
• 
  Issues 445, 448 Criminally ugly
• 
  Issues 450, 456, 457, 471 This is the cutest one maybe.
• 
  Issue 529 during my wiggly arm era
• 
  Issue 576 LAZY!
• 
  Issue 655 I remember I got rid of the word Dumb for a while because I got scared that it was ableist
• 
  Issue 665 At least my last hurrah of a custom thumbnail was a cute one.

rejected comics

• 
  August 2009ish My failed Issue 400 entry. I got my other chance at the avatar with my 450 success at least. Meep & Jus again.
• 
  2010ish Rip Zyperas. For years I thought I had lost Mesliia too to a locked side account but I was able to get her back in 2024 !!!
• 
  2010-11ish Classic Meep
• 
  2011-12ish I cannot get over this one. There is no joke. The "I'm back with better art!" footnote under the laziest ugliest comic I've ever drawn. The audacity
• 
  2013ish I like how I drew Atty here (back when she was Green) but once again. *rupaul voice* WHERE. ARE. THE JOKES.
• 
  2014ish This one was never actually outright rejected, I think the submission actually failed due to size but there was no notification so I never realized. Art and designs are outdated now so I won't bother resubmitting
• 
  2014-15ish UGH okay I drew this for Halloween then forgot to submit it. Then meant to submit it every year and forgot every single year. I would remember it existed all the time except close to Halloween time. Finally. Ten years later. Halloween 2024. I remember to submit it. REJECTED DUE TO "BAD SPELLING AND/OR GRAMMAR" ?!?!?!?! I give up.
