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

Things Plunk actually owns
Nothing life-changing. Just the props from the comic, made real.
BEANIE
The Beanie
Black, ribbed, one woven patch. Keeps the existential dread in.
REGRET
Spicy Regret Sauce
Hot dog condiment of choice. Pairs well with lowered expectations.
BOB" MUG
The Bob Mug
For mornings that require honesty more than caffeine.
BEST (BARELY)
