Bonsai comic strips!

[gabemartini]

Been messing around with a little side project: comic strips about bonsai.
Figured a few folks here might appreciate my very bad attempt at humour.


Here are a few of the strips I’ve done so far. Hope you find them at least mildly entertaining haha

Seems you’re on to something! Keep going!
How about : “We’ll, the pot is really nice”
And: “Oh look at the moss, yes that is cool”
Along with: “I thought that bunzai was a species of tree…”

If you want some inspiration, the teahouse is a great resource.

You know you practice bonsai when..
Post your jokes here
And other threads I can't remember from the top of my head.

Awesome comics man! Nice!

 

[hemmy]

“special tweezers” is a great line.

 

[Potawatomi13]

Great artistic talent.

Oh! this is a really good shout! i have some ideas i'm turning into scripts but i'm running low so these are a goldmind thank you!!!

“special tweezers” is a great line.

this actually came from me trying to justify buying £130 tweezers from niwaki hahaha

I think it is great! I’ll go follow your links!

 

[Bonsai Nut]

Those are fun! And the funny thing is... you can tell the art is by someone who understands bonsai

 

[Cadillactaste]

That's great! I've told people their trees were sick...and had to explain. I stopped saying it. It took to long to get people on the same page as I. Lol

 

[Michael P]

Yes, these bring a smile of recognition and the graphics are really sharp!

 

[NMbonsai]

How about, "where can I get some bonsai seeds?"

 

[penumbra]

Imagine wearing these on a T shirt at a bonsai rally, convention or club meeting.

 

[Michael P]

They are not "banzai"!

 

[NMbonsai]

Everybody would want one!

The trail of dead trees I leave in my wake might beg to differ hahaha Thank you so much haha

Haha if i ever make a t shirt i’ll send one your way!

Honestly, thanks so much. I was a bit scared to show them at first and originally only started making them for a private bonsai Discord group I'm part of. But they encouraged me to put them out there, and the reception has been really good.
I’m drawing more as we speak

 

[Wulfskaar]

I could easily see this in monthly bonsai club newsletters, or on t-shirts at bonsai shows and shops!

Followed and shared on Instagram

 

[Sansokuu]

These are amaaazing - I look forward to many more panels with tree casualties

 

[Desert O'Piñon]

If I could make paper from my victims...
...you'd have an endless supply for printing.
I really enjoy these!

 

[pandacular]

Love it. carefully curating my instagram to be exclusively bonsai is paying off
