Hi!

My name is John Sutton. I'm a webcomic artist from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

About six years ago, although I'm not a scientist (or even closely related to any scientific field), I started drawing comics about a bungling scientist and his robot sidekick. After pestering my coworkers for weeks with my latest drawings, they suggested that I start posting them online.

After six years, a huge learning curve, and a LOT of self-doubts, I really feel like these comics have come a long way. What I've posted below is some of the funniest comics from the last few years, but if you'd like to see all 550+ comics feel free to check out my website or my social media.

I hope you enjoy!

    I just want a colour chart so I can point to the strength of drink I'm after. How am I supposed to know how strong their brew is when I've never been there before?

    Gary? Of the entire world of pickle-related names, he went with Gary. Henceforth, the pickle shall be called Richard.

    I honestly don't understand the hype surrounding the Instant Pot. I know people that swear by this thing & think it's the greatest kitchen invention ever. It's just a trendy pressure cooker. Pressure cookers have been around since the 40's.
