Slice of life. Journal comic. All of these are words that are pretty hot right now. Until semi-recently, I didn’t really have much to offer in the ways of adventures, but then I became a step-dad. And things are different now.

The McNaughties aren't your typical TV sitcom or comic strip family. Dad doesn't work the traditional 9-to-5 blue-collar job while Mom stays home - they both collaborate on many jobs, always coming up with some new business idea. None of the children have the same two parents or last name. But despite trading ties and aprons for ear gauges and purple hair, this blended family strives to maintain as much normalcy as possible...which turns out to be anything but. Based on our real-life exchanges and adventures. Updates Tuesdays. http://McNaughties.com FB: RKane Creations IG: arcane_rkane The McNaughties made their debut in a book that I made as an anniversary present to my boyfriend, James. While browsing gift ideas, I came across LoveBooks, but decided it wasn't our thing. So, being an overachiever, I took the customization and humor further by making my own book, which was basically a LoveBook spoof, featuring cartoon likenesses of us. Having always wanted to publish a book but never finishing anything I started, I realized the book was decent AND was something I finally finished, so I published it. Also, having not made a webcomic since I unintentionally stopped creating them for my other comic, Company Lunch, I decided that it would make an awesome semi-autobiographical webcomic...and, as was the case with Company Lunch, with real-life insanity like this, it writes itself! The McNaughties is drawn in pencil, inked in Sharpie, then colored digitally using GIMP.
