New strip every friday

Not trying to be
somebody. Just trying
not to be nobody.

Plunk is a small blob in a beanie who is doing his best (barely). Three cats deep into a 1000-cat life plan. Here for anyone else who's too tired to fit in and too honest to fake it.

Origin

Simple. Quiet.
Overthinks everything.

Cats, pizza, a 3:14am spiral, and a new plan by morning. The short version, in six panels.

Origin comic: this is Plunk — simple, quiet, overthinks everything, loves his cats and pizza, sometimes overthinking wins at 3am, but tomorrow is a new plan and he shows up anyway.
Origin Story — "This Is Plunk" Issue 000
"Plunk doesn't have it all figured out. But he shows up anyway. And that's enough."
About

A blob. A beanie.
A concerning number of cats.

Plunk showed up one Tuesday, fully formed, mildly exhausted, and wearing a fanny pack for reasons nobody has ever explained. He is not a self-help mascot. He does not have five morning habits. He has one mug that says "not great, bob" and a life plan he keeps quietly adjusting downward.

The comic runs every Friday: coffee shops, group chats, group chats about coffee shops, jobs that ask if you can stay late, and cats — always more cats than the situation calls for. It's not about winning the day. It's about getting through it with the coffee at least being decent.

"Too tired to fit in. Too honest to fake it. Just trying not to screw up too badly. That's all."
