ToA is a gag-a-week comic strip that’s meant to be absurd and it is. Hoffman’s gags range from bad puns to something close to a Perry Bible Fellowship visual. His artwork is spot on, energetic and probably adds a good 20% to the gags when they fall flat. I liked most of them. Some made me really laugh. A few I just sorta went “Wha-?” and clicked away.
The schedule is almost weekly. Sometimes it’s eight days in between or five. I like to see the strip go at least twice per week, as I think the later strips are getting better. The archive is a decent size, but you can get caught up in an hour or so. This is one to invest in, as I think it’s pretty decent, but has some room to grow, so bookmark it, bros. Why not? It’s free!
