    New golden era for Adam Ellis?

    I remember that he was a pretty bad comic artist with lames jokes, then he re invented himself with funny self conscious humor and now has come back with a very polished, but still characteristic art style.

      Turns out having to churn out content for buzzfeed yields bad comics, and when he left he could actually take time to do them and care about them more and it turns out he’s pretty funny

      This joke is old as time, the only original part here is the boy being gay instead of straight

        Yeah this is a very old and well-worn joke that is usually about adultery or casual sex:

        But hey, putting a new twist on an old classic like this and being upfront about that being what you are doing, good on him

      He also had a bit of a psychological horror phase with some genuinely chilling comics… and one oddly heartwarming one.

      He basically was able to flash his talent after leaving buzzfeed. His stuff with them was pretty bad though. Recycled jokes, recycled poses and panels. Basically no creativity. Probably had to do with the workload

        yep, buzz feed 100% stifled his creativity. everything I’ve seen since then has been such an improvement
