Users' Manual:

Comics and illustrations from a friendly neighborhood cloister, for anyone and everyone!
Each comic/illustration will be tagged with its characters or subject, so head on to the archives if you're looking for something specific.
Some comics and illustrations here are of my own book characters; even so, I try my best to make the jokes understandable to everyone. So don't be wary of any comic! And if in doubt, read any text to a post.
Also, for any post, click on the image and it will bring you to its original size. This may prove helpful for reading text bubbles, or simply if you want to go mad at the detail of sharpie strokes. It's your call.

Connect to me on Twitter! That is, if you like listening to the overcaffeinated ramble.

Need. Stronger. Brew.

I may not have time to sit down and do comics every day right now, but I do have time to bust out a 'tweet' here and there. So by the pretense that I'm humorous (and I do hope I am, otherwise I have no clue why you all give your time to visit this blog. It must be the colors. I like blue and orange, too.) or you like reading a caffeinated cloister's musings, bop on over to Twitterland or whatever you kids call it and search @UlyHarp.

I promise I won't bite! After all, that would require some amount of acrobatics. I'm pretty sure I can't reach all the way from my desk to yours. That is, unless your desk is right next to mine. Then no promises there.
If you do happen to come my Twitter profile's way, drop me a hello and let me know you're a visitor of Uly's Comics! I'd love to connect with this blog's readers. On second thought, if I rally the troops...
The pestering people do for a new comic could multiply. Oh dear.
Time for a bunker.

Thank you many time over, everyone, for willingly wasting your time on my little hole-in-the-wall comics blog, and for visiting even when updates are slow. I say it all the time, I know, but let me say it again. I appreciate every visit! Get used to hearing it: because it's true. Thank you. And I hope to get back to regular comics soon. I really do miss having ink on my hands, and routinely shutting the scanner on my hand. Seriously. It just feels right.
Yours truly (and highly caffeinated), Uly.

Didn't You Know?

LGBT/etc. Pridefest is coming up in my area, and so I thought I'd do a little tribute for my friends and family across the rainbow. I'd have liked to put more terms on the rainbow, but as one can see, I was a little pressed for space... so I did the first to come to mind.
Terms, from left-to-right: Gay; Bisexual; Lesbian; Asexual; Queer; Demisexual; Pansexual; Straight; Cisgender; Androgynous; Bigender; Transgender; Neutrios; Two-Spirit; Omnisexual; Agender; Genderqueer; Questioning.
And yes, 'straight' and 'cisgender' belong on the spectrum: they're orientations and genders, too.
Oh, and did I mention I'm chopping off all my hair? Cartoon Uly gets a makeover.

My Treat To You.

Let me take to the time to apologize for lack of comics lately. I've been very busy, and honestly, going through some rough personal patches. With school out and graduation parties every week, I haven't had much time to sit down and whip up comics like I'm used to. Summer's also in swing, which means wedding season. And because I do work for a DJ/Mobile entertainment company, that means weekends manning music or photo-booths for events. As far as those rough personal patches go, be assured that they're working themselves out.
I hate to be a downer, but I'm not sure when my schedule will clear up. Thank you for all your visits even though there haven't been regular updates. You guys give me so much support.
I may not have a comic now, but I can do this much: here are some illustrations and random bits of work from my archives. Enjoy, and thank you for all your patience. -Uly
Have a great day/night, everyone. New comic soon. Fingers crossed.

Driving Me Nuts!

Completely sarcastic. I'd rather hobnob with civilization than be devoid of it.
But I do miss cranking out comics! Speaking of which, comic coming soon. I swear.
