ALT I’m going full freelance! First project kicks off next Monday, how cool is that?! 🎉 Huge thanks to everyone who helped me the past weeks. You’re amazing ❤️ Need a frontend/TypeScript dev? DMs are open, let’s talk! #cartoon #comic #freelancer #frontend #typescript #freelancelife

ALT Found myself with a lot of spare time after my employer stopped their activities last month.
Trying to stay in the working rhythm, I study and do some techie side projects I never made time for, which I enjoy a lot.

But it also gave me extra time to explore one of my other passions.
And that is drawing cartoons. Normally I draw one panel cartoons, but
I always wanted to try out creating gag comics. Like 3 or 4 panels. 
So what better way to get over the layoff pain than to write/draw about it with gags?
The job-hunt is a great subject to experiment with.

Not saying this will be a weekly comic, but let’s see what happens.
