Hello everyone,
Today I respond to an urgent request I got via DM, which read like this:
Scrolled through your entire goodboys page SEARCHING for the one post captioned “PP.”
Where she writes a brilliant email to impress whoever and hits send only to realise (hello worldly followers) she signed it as P P and can’t stop thinking of PP as she tries to fall asleep with PP haunting her? Please share I like it so much and want to share with friends ty xoxo PP!!!
I too, am haunted by PP. It is loosely based on two events: 1. the time my aunt accidentally made her Facebook status the simple and bewitching refrain, pppppppppppp. And 2, the time I was answering phones for a once-buzzy internet comedy company and my email was hacked, resulting in me sending not only porn but a porn virus to every single employee in both the Los Angeles and New York offices. You’re welcome, everyone!
Here’s the extended version of the PP experience I made for my book, which really confused everyone. “You really want…four whole pages for the PP email drawing? Does it connect to anything?”—reader yes, not only did I want the pages, I needed them. Here you go.
Remember: we have all been the PP email. I think that explains that. Feel free to email or DM me with similar requests, I’ve archived a bunch of cartoons on the big page either because they went into the book or I decided they were bad or I am planning on putting them in something else forthcoming, but am always happy to confirm or deny your “did this cartoon exist and can you send it to me” questions.
Some recommendations for reading and listening:

Here’s a short playlist of some nice tunes:
