I love them a whole lot.In this week’s episode of Off Panel, cartoonist Joshua Barkman joins me to chat about his webcomic, False Knees. I feel like every positive adjective you could think of applies to these comics. They are also so wholesome and warm and relatable.
They run the gamut from existential comedy to meta comedy to just dumb comedy. They always make me laugh out loud, which is really something considering most of them are 4-panel comics. I would also be remiss not to mention the delightful, bizarre comedy of these comics. Part of me thinks birds are birds, how could they possible emote, but then I look at a False Knees comic and I am instantly proven wrong. Also I don't know how he does it, but the animals he draws are so expressive. On reading this printed version of Barkman's work as opposed to seeing it online, I was struck by how much detail and texture is in his illustrations. I love these dumb birds and their antics. Adorable, beautifully drawn, funny, and so wholesome. The False Knees comics are some of the best things to ever come out of the internet.
