Creator Highlight # 1: What Nonsense by Caitlin Crowley

Welcome friends to a somewhat weekly feature on Artagem: The Creator Highlight.  I'll take a moment from time to time to point you to the home sites of creators I appreciate, whether they're other web comics, fine artists or just general troublemakers.


Taken from Crowley's site: What Nonsense is a humorous horror/suspense comic featuring anthropomorphic animal characters. The story follows the lives of the slightly deranged residents of "Nawncentz Inn," a remote vacation home, and the confused man who has been forced to live with them. I'd say there's nothing too adult about this story, save for some violence and cursing. It's recommended for ages 14 and up. 

More after the break.

There's something deeply unsettling about What Nonsense, and I like it.  It's brightly colored, like some kind of fun, lost cartoon that you may have watched over a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch on Sunday morning, but the humanized creatures exist in rather off-putting relationships with each other.  Crowley's artwork has really progressed and become streamlined over the course of the comic as well.  Can't wait to see where this one goes.  Enjoy What Nonsense (but then come back to Artagem)!
