The Oatmeal goes to the Movies
Ten years ago, Matthew Inman posted a little comic on the internet that got… some popularity. You might have seen it shared by your Auntie Irma on Facebook.
Since then, Inman’s webcomic The Oatmeal has gone from strength to strength. If a decade of internet presence isn’t enough, The Oatmeal also has ten books in print and set crowdfunding records in 2015 for the card game Exploding Kittens. Inman also won the Eisner for Best Digital Comic in 2014 for his unique style which blurs the line between cartoon and infographic.
And now, it looks like Inman has scored himself… a movie deal!

Sunday Shoutout — Funhouse of Frights (Vol 2) Kickstarter!
We’re back with another weekend shout-out!
Today we’re highlighting Funhouse of Frights Vol 2: Come Again by Tyler Mann.
Funhouse Of Frights is a gay, kinky, fun house themed erotic comic series. Inside this fictional Funhouse, the rooms magically fill up with the sexual desires of the guests who enter it. Furry clown creatures, a towering Anubis, plant monsters, rubbery perils, and tons more await ticket holders who venture in!
These comics are NSFW, so they might not be up everyone’s alley (also: clowns!), but the first volume was well received by his fans and this second volume has already funded—so you know that you’re going to get something for jumping on board!
Better be quick, though, since the Kickstarter ends on June 15th.
Catch you next week for another shoutout!
