this guy has the best line work, it reminds me of someone else's style but I can't quite place it.

all his comics are golden.

Yes, Shel Silverstein is close, but there's something about the sketchiness of it that reminds me of like some kind of horror drawings I remember from being a kid, but I couldn't place it. I don't remember Goosebumps books having quality art, so I don't know what I'm thinking of. I want to say Edward Gorey, but I know that's not right. I wish I could place it!

Man. Those books really fucked me up as a kid. Nightmares for years. I heard they re-released them with new artwork, as so many people had complained about how soul-scarringly terrifying the original illustrations were.

That's it I think. Great linework there too, but not as similar as my mind was telling them they must be. Interesting.

I like them because of how different they are. They're humorous without always having a distinct punchline.

Good call adding the information that Mr Joshua doesn't sign his work. It's abnormal that he doesn't.

His work is one of the main things I miss about Bluesky.

Yeah, it's odd that he doesn't, and people always ask when I forget to include it. I guess his style is unique enough that it's identifiable.
