Cheer Up, Emo Kid is a webcomic centered around life, love, and loss; whose mission is to bring to light the rarely acknowledged humor found in the most terrible of situations -- be it heartbreak, depression, social awkwardkness, loneliness, or anything in between; and something to keep you company when no one else will.
Cheer Up, Emo Kid contains violence, nudity, strong language, lowbrow humor, and suggestive themes including but not limited to revenge, sex, drugs, depression, suicide, racism, cannibalism, beastiality, and the constant, relentless ridicule of fat people. It is not suitable for anyone.
Cheer Up, Emo Kid is currently updated once a week, usually on Mondays, until the author either graduates from college in September, succumbs to alcohol poisoning, or dies from over-masturbation.
Update: Been making several ninja edits over the past few hours, you should be able to post comments now without errors. Site is currently 90% done. Individual pages need work and I can’t figure out how to call updates from Twitter (their default widget is ugly as hell).
I originally had a long-winded explanation as to why I tend to disappear without warning but I scrapped it because it all boils down to one thing — I only draw when I’m inspired, and I’m only inspired when I’m unhappy about something. I’m not about to start cranking out half-assed shit just to meet a deadline. When I create something, it has to be the best I can possibly make it to my ability. I’m not about to let CUEK become one of those shit strips you see in the newspaper.
That being said — I struck gold a few weeks ago and have been working ever since trying to get this… “new thing” I’m trying into motion. Coupled with a redesign, it’s going to be… well, a story comic. Whether it’s one entire page a week or several panels every few days, I’m taking a break from the norm and telling you a story that you may or may not be already familiar with.
In the meantime, have a fantastical new year — eat, drink, and be fat and drunk.
Art never comes from happiness. — Chuck Palahniuk
