Dragon-sized spoilers you can use to win money in Vegas.

Season 8 is finally here! The armies are gathered and alliances formed so all that remains is The Epic Mother to End All Final Battles. Who will creep out of the bloodbath and finally sit on the Iron Throne? Well, when you play the Game of Thrones you either win or die, so here are Grinsane’s Official Predictions for who’s going down (and when) and who’s finally grabbing that fancy pants chair.

That’s right, Ser Pounce to victory and all of the spoils that entitles (unlimited cat crunchies, dragon nip, nice cat furniture).

BUT SER POUNCE IS DEAD

Shut up. What a pile of dragon dung when those show runners claimed Pounce was executed by Cersei. I mean, it’s believable, but…

You don’t just kill compelling major characters offscreen. That’s Screenwriting 101. All of the expired wolves in the show had visceral, visible deaths and even the dragons are taking hit points now. Unless… that’s right… Ser Pounce is actually coming back.

They lied about Snow, too. Said he was dead while filming him in secret. And even if Pounce really did undergo nine terrible deaths at the hands of the Corrupter of the Realm, what is death in this show anymore? Season One, yes, a death was a death was a death (*sniff*, Ned). But now? Bringing a cat back to life should be easy work for Qyburn or Melissandra not to mention the Lord of Light who is resurrecting folks faster than a Fortnite reboot van.

Ultimately, with all of the hot tempers in Westeros, Pounce is truly the only character cool headed enough to rule that place and give the show the closure it needs. May his reign be long and purrific.

Valar Morghulis!

Instagram, that is.

And as much as I don’t want to tell you to leave my website and view my comics elsewhere, I love the ability to sequentially display multi-paneled comics on Instagram. I think it’s the best social media space to view cartoons on the web.

Occasionally I do special variations of my comics for different social media channels (extra panels, alternate layouts), including today’s comic about the recent passing of the Mars Rover. You can view the single frame version on my site, or pop over to Instagram and swipe away.

Happy Surfing!

Happy Valentine’s Day from Grinsane. Or should I say Valloween? Since a bit of horror makes this day so much more interesting. There have been some rumblings on the internet lately suggesting that we should do away with Valentine’s Day entirely and replace it with Halloween II, but I take issue with this. I live in a snowy climate and I don’t want to see Trick-or-Treaters frozen on my doorstep, and that’s not all —

Yeah, the pumpkins in my neighborhood are a bit premature. So let’s just stick with Valloween while keeping in mind that love can be truly spooky. And monsters have feelings, too. And witches seduce some of their best kills by using sex potions. And — well, the possibilities are endless.

Here’s those toons I mentioned – check ’em out!

Cupid and Psycho

Franky Panky

As you might have guessed, Halloween is Grinsane’s favorite holiday (beats the others even on a weekday), which is why there have been four Halloween comics this month. If you haven’t seen them, your click finger has been summoned:

Halloween Hellraiser

Night Terror

Spooky Skies

Ghostbusted!

November comes rolling into town tomorrow like an overladen UPS truck, crushing the remains of smashed pumpkins in the street, bringing with it two months of nonstop Christmas music. Eeeek! Truly the sound of Jingle Cats is a horror worse than anything Halloween can conjure. Rest assured, Grinsane will do its best to help you through this difficult time with regular horror comedy cartoon updates.

Happy Halloween!

The second one this year, and the Grinsane Guarantee™ says there will be a new Friday the 13th cartoon posted whenever there is a Friday the 13th on the calendar or terrible things will occur (not just to me, but to all of us). Hint: tentacles, rust, creeping flesh, Katy Perry.

It’s a very EC Comics scenario in which the only way to stave off The Curse is to keep cartooning. So don’t say I never contributed to the welfare of my fellow man. Until we figure this thing out, these cartoons are the only thing standing between society and oblivion.

You can help, of course, by viewing, liking, and sharing the cartoons. That keeps me happy and less likely to release the Katy Kraken (ooops, TMI). Click the hockey mask for the latest appearance by Jason, or see all the Friday the 13th comics in the archives. Have a lucky one!
