EXORCISM ACADEMY
by Asmodeus
Training to become an exorcist is a difficult enough, but when your new belligerent demon partner seems more interested in wrecking the bed with you than performing exorcisms, suddenly life as you know it gets a whole lot more complicated. Throw in a powerful demon hellbent on revenge, an endless parade of monsters from the underworld, a whole lot of baggage from his past, and you’ve got all the ingredients for the storm of the century, headed directly for the Exorcism Academy.
This webcomic is for an 18+ adult audience only and features explicit sexual content, violence, and other mature themes.
SPACE DEER
By Indiana-Jonas
Space Deer is a comic strip about a small deer in a messed up universe with no destination. Very inspired by Calvin & Hobbes, Peanuts and Dragon Ball.
By Cyrus Venisonghost
His body was fused with that of the Demon Lord Mothrum in an attempted possession, but he was kept human in spirit by his love for the beautiful Angelita. Now, the half human, half demon moth Cold Cuts fights the invading demon army under the alias of Mothboy!

Cartoonist Cooperative “Buy an E-Sim for Gaza” Donation Drive
E-Sims for Gaza
As you may know, Palestinians in Gaza are being subjected to internet and communications blackouts as part of the ongoing siege by Israel. Members of the Cartoonist Co-op are getting involved in a new way to combat this violence by offering art in exchange for those who donate e-SIMs to Palestinians through the Connecting Gaza Campaign.
This campaign has been running since early November, but we want to make sure that everyone who’s interested in our activities is kept up to date. Click here to see how you can contribute to these efforts!
