~ CHRIS & DREW MASTERPOST ~

putting together a list of matches available online featuring chris and drew either teaming together or against each other bc i have no life! and also for my fellow chrisdrew heads bc we gotta stick together.

some of these links will be behind a paywall, but i will try my best to find options that are not!! they'll be in order of year and organized by promotion. i have not been able to find any of their matches pre-2017, but i will continue my search until the day i die.

Who or what were your art inspos throughout the years?

i've always been a huge fan of ryoko kui! i even own some of the original dayderam hours from the harta issues (': her mastery of anatomy, panelling and comedic timing is self-evident on every page of dunmeshi, but i also think the great love that goes into the worldbuilding is wonderful... and the way she reverse on a dime from comedy to horror is sooooo good and yummy

i also really admire yuko ota (johnny wander, barbarous) and kamome shirahama (witch hat atelier) for same or similar reasons! all their comics are beautifully composed!!

i've only gotten to know them in the last few years but my friend mim (@/rouwan on twt) makes such gorgeous paintings and comics, i look at them all the time :)c

[eleplay]

im not a farming sim game person, im not a farmgardenyardwork person in general (last week while friends tended their garden i did not lift a finger to help i just drank a glass of wine nearby), but fields of mistria looks so cute wow. yuko ota the concept artist that you are. alina sechkin emma suen-lewis the pixel artists that you are.

"It feels good." / "Did it feel good?"

@barbarous 8.2 and 8.28 by Johnny Wander

I wanna take a sec to talk about Lucky Penny.

If you haven’t been lucky enough to have heard of Lucky Penny before now: it is my favorite graphic novel. It has been since junior year of High-school. I am now a senior in my final semester in college (and accounting for my Covid style gap year) Lucky Penny has been my #1 fave graphic novel for six years and counting.

It’s funny, it’s raunchy, the characters feel real, the story is well paced and takes some very fun and unexpected twists! However, the story and art aren’t the only reason I love Lucky Penny. I originally found Yuko Ota and Ananth Hirsh via their autobiographical book of daily life comics Johnny Wander: Our Cats Are More Famous Than Us, which I had picked up from the local library and was absolutely thrilled to find out was a webcomic that at the time was still actively updating. On their website (linked here!) you can actually read Lucky Penny and their Autobiographical comics completely for free as well as their current (still updating) work, Barbarous.

For me Lucky Penny acts as a bridge and a love letter to middle school me, who avidly read webcomics on solo hosting sights, many of which have been lost to time or have simply stopped updating. Self published webcomics outside of companies like Tapas (formerly Tapastic) and LINE Webtoon have ensured that solo host websites are far and few in between and routinely get looked over. Despite existing in the face of these big companies Johnny Wander lives on.

Lucky Penny is like warm soup. It’s comforting and every read feels different depending on where I am emotionally and just in my life in general. You can find Lucky Penny free to read on Johnny Wander here and even grab a physical copy for yourself here if you prefer paper. Updates on Yuko Ota and Ananth Hirsh’s current work and activities can be found on their respective tumblrs @aidosaur and @ananthhirsh

If you choose to read Lucky Penny I hope you love it. I’m sure you will. :)
