Toon Weekly challenged us to come up with a new gremlin design. I carefully considered how to best draw one that fully communicated the frustration of having our internet suddenly stop working even though everything is plugged into what it should be and all the lights are lit up where they should be lighted up and the only recourse to fixing the damnable, internets-free state of failed connections and swirling beach balls is to unplug ever dang thang and hope it works once it’s all lit back up again 30 seconds later.
