Roby Poche started drawing comics in July 2020, when hell broke loose. He had always wanted to create comics and Covid left him with plenty of time to try it out. Since then, his illustrations have gotten more and more attention and appreciation.
We are happy when we help artists and their audience find each other. After the first article featuring StrangeTrek's comics came out, Roby noticed the growth of his followers. But, according to the artist, the biggest change was internal. Roby shared with Bored Panda that having an article about his comics gave him a huge confidence boost and helped him keep making comics.
I can't afford a designer, and if I killed one I imagine they wouldn't be thrilled and would not be very helpful.
Load More Replies...Could...could I request a helpful cleaning and decluttering ghost, please?
Yes, maybe one who specializes in scrubbing toilets?
Load More Replies...Aww. This will be me after I die. Design Home, what have you done to me?
I hate to be That Person but when he treated her badly/like a prisoner she wasn't accepting of him, avoided him, and told him exactly what she thought. When he treated her well, she became more accepting. It shows that it's not really Stockholm syndrome. A better example is Mother Gothel and Rapunzel in Tangled.
Load More Replies...This one isn't entirely true. He didn't kidnap Belle. She offered to take her father's place. Dad also wasn't kidnapped. He was trespassing.
He wasn't trespassing. He stole a rose for his daughter.
Load More Replies...More so at the live play on Broadway. The Beast was way hotter then the human.
Load More Replies...Same, no wonder why everyone is so confused about dating norma
Load More Replies...Right now, Roby finds it difficult to find the time to make new comics. Even though most of the illustrations are four panels, they take quite some time to make, according to the artist. However, Roby enjoys looking back at the comics he has made and reading all the nice comments from people who enjoy his works. That is very rewarding for the artist.
I was hoping for a twist like the ghost knew better and sent him into a trap...
He actually does as revealed in...I forget what comic it is but it is revealed wayne industries donates like 200 mil to charites and relief centers in gotham...but you have to remember batman has 27 companies with trillions of dollars...tbh it was probably the author wanting to make batman seem like a millionare instead of a trillionare
D**k went step farther and dedicated his entire fortune to charity and relief
Load More Replies...Minus all the crime fighting and actual attempt to do anything to help anyone
Load More Replies...Like most artists, Roby Poche has those days when new ideas for his comics seem to be hiding from him. However, he has a method to deal with this. "It is important to just start drawing a new comic. I can always take a break and look back and critique it. You can never critique a blank page."
Looking at illustrations created by other artists might also be a good way to get some inspiration. When asked about his favorite cartoonist, Roby replied that there are too many to name, but he finds the art of False Knees amazing and hilarious.
Relating so hard rn. Cat demands exit at kitchen door, it’s minus 30C outside. Open door, get filthy look for failing to provide acceptable conditions, close door. Cat walks from kitchen door to living room door, demands exit, try logic, “look, it’s still -30c outside”. Cat INSISTS. Open door, get filthy look for failing to provide acceptable conditions, close door. Cat goes to front door…
When you’re dead but you’ve still gotta meow at your owners to open the door and then walk back inside like “lol thx”
Yes, get rid of that annoying, cheery/colorful wallpaper and just go all dark/gloomy for a damn change!
Load More Replies...Being a self-taught comic artist, StrangeTrek encourages others who want to try drawing comics to just start and not wait for anything. "I have wanted to make comics my whole life, but it seemed like a really hard thing to start. You have to have an art and comedy, understand pacing, a theme, and make something original. It seems like a lot, but it gets easier once you just start making something."
A rather Art Deco choice. noice-61d9...9c8e07.png
If you love StrangeTrek comics so much you want to own a print of one, two, or more artworks, you can purchase them on Etsy. Check out other funny illustrations on the artist's socials. They are listed above, or you can find them here.
Why are you downvoting this guy when @RandomX123 says the same thing? They’re both right
Load More Replies...This is literally about the grim reaper, and they censor the word dead? News flash; death is a natural thing that happens to everyone.
For fück's sake, Bored Panda, stop this idiotic censorship of words like 'dead'!
Just as you should never trust a genie. They're EVIL and will twist your wish into a grotesque and terrifying nightmare
Good grief, have you never read a book? Never make an open-ended wish; it'll always be misinterpreted.
I wanted to downvote the pun but decided to be gneiss.
Load More Replies...At first i thought that he was looking at that alien rock, and when i saw the last photo i understood lol
exactly how i feel every single school day
Load More Replies...If I make or build something I give it name...not just creation..especially a living thing
And they have the nads to charge 500,000 for small house.
Load More Replies...lol i told this theory to my classmates as a joke and they had a meltdown
good happy laughing meltdown or throwing knives hysterical sobbing meltdown?
Load More Replies...Nah, in my mind God's an author, overseeing billions upon billions of characters and storylines.
And getting stories all jumbled and discombobulated
Load More Replies...I love that the tree is still growing. The Giving Tree was unfortunately a problematic book
That's the whole point of the book. Not every book needs to be feel good and P.C. We learn and grow by thinking, not by being force fed. It's problematic to make kids (and adults) think, thus giving them opportunity to make changes to, or affirm their already good, actions in their real life.
Load More Replies...You'd like Ortberg's version of this story: https://the-toast.net/2013/11/13/gifts-giving-tree/
Load More Replies...I love this, I'd love to be buried in one of those pods that grows a tree so I can give back to nature. :3
i think i might want some more internet...
Load More Replies...I don't think Artsy Bookworm got it quite right. Those people are furries and some furries (not all) have a fetish where they try to have sex in fursuits. Sully from the movie Monster's Inc. came into their room to scare them, but they thought it was another person in a fursuit who wanted to have a threesome. That yellow tube that says MAX measures the scream power from the people that the monsters scare, but Sully was the one screaming.
Load More Replies...i think the joke is that he screamed, because screams is what they used at the start of the movie
Load More Replies...Is this a home alone refrence? In home alone 3 the burgalars get hit by a trunk full of books.
In the normal world I would suggest dumping him too, but since this is a comic she should yeet that guy out the Ferris wheel cart.
Load More Replies...My 42 yr old boyfriend argued with my 8 yr old daughter trying to tell her the earth is flat. Finally she brought her science book to him and said he needs to repeat 2nd and 4th grade if he wants to continue arguing it.
i just thought ofa dirty joke inclouding the bed but i'm keeping my mouth shut
3 some? It's a king sized bed. That takes a whole orgy worth of servants.
Load More Replies...Now I'm starting to guess how that "nice girl" was turned into a frog.
Wow typical woman, nothing is goof enough for her. Try lowering your standards and maybe you'll get somewhere
Ah yes, what it's like dating these days. Gotta weed through tons of girls that think they're special and reject you because you're human until finally you find one who lives in reality with the rest of us.
yellow dude ¨what about this one and dont say anteatereater¨ purple guy under his breath ¨ dang it¨
Anyone who can't work out 25% of $12 shouldn't be allowed out without a carer.
Using a calculator to figure out 25% of 12$ is like using Google-translate to talk to a shop keeper. EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT
When you think about it, he was rather disappointed when he found out Ping was a gal...
"That young man fills me with hope... plus some other emotions which are weird and deeply confusing."
Lemon! Wait! I've been reading about the ancient Greeks!
Load More Replies...Well... Thing is... They didn't care about incest
Load More Replies...I thought they were eaten by the green alligators. Or maybe pecked to death by the long necked geese. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMrxyRbOiYQ
That has been my favorite song since I was little! It's great to hear about it.
Load More Replies...This dude is a furry and a sister corn liker... this artist is probably seriously weird
Another 'WHAAT???' Are you serious? Or am I just not getting the joke? Or are you, I suspect, trying to wind people up? Adam and Eve weren't siblings. God creating woman from Adam's rib is not an allegory about siblings. More like an affirmation to men that we "poor little women" can't exist without the benevolence of the superior male.
I think the joke is about incest. Not same sex lol
Load More Replies...Have more respect for 50% of the population (actually now that I think about it 50% might not be accurate cuz nonbinary ppl and others exist)
Load More Replies...That would be my guess. I assume the artist doesn't want to deal with copyright infringement issues.
Load More Replies..."just take it. i dont even care anymore" stinky beard went on to consider all his "after"life decisions. where did it all go wrong? why is the world so cruel? why do i even have a beard, im a skeleton? he went on to work for an ice company and died of hypothermia. yes, you read that right
Yup. All attacks by werewolves are from females. Males, with this new ability, are too busy all night to bite anyone.
I get lost either way. I wonder about life- lost. I wander down the streetz lost,
*Hug hug* Free hugs AND free acupuncture? NICE!
Load More Replies...I always check to see if they have a pet and end up hanging with it lol
Load More Replies...Being bored and lonely just like everyone else, and having the fake perception that they are having a better time than you although they don't... That's one of the most universally relatable things.
Sure, whatever you need to tell yourself to avoid dealing with it.
Load More Replies...I like how the grammar implies the exclamation points are actually part of Dog!!'s name
“Insert witty reply here” then click upvote >>
Load More Replies...Spinach has surprisingly low amounts of iron actually, the reason for this mess up was a typing mistake that lead to a comma being in the wrong place
Load More Replies...Iron deficiency Man had better downright stay at home and take a nap wih his Detective cat.
When life closes a door, just grab the doorknob and open it. That's how doors work.
When one door closes another opens, other than that it's a really good car.
I don't think that's always true. I'm very plain and ordinary, but I have people who care about me, presumably because I offer something more than outward beauty. People can have many beautiful qualities, and a face doesn't have to be one of them. For example, a person who works hard to make a garden for someone else to enjoy - that's beautiful. I remember your story about that.
Load More Replies...That was my first thought when I saw Ghostbusters : "So they just kidnap people and keep them locked forever, but nobody sues them?"
I'm starting to wonder if it's just to get people posting. There's some stupid things that get censored.
Load More Replies...No, that is not true, Muppets are made in Jim Henson's workshop in NY
Load More Replies...This was a great read. Nice combination of dark comedy, witty humor and reality. Kudos to the artist
First time reading your comic strips and I loved them! So very relatable 😁! Keep up the great work!
