Pro member Publish Not your original work? Add source Everybody appreciates beautifully drawn comics, but as some comics prove again and again, however nice it may be, it's not necessary. The hooks, punchlines, and sinkers are the building blocks that make a comic great. Today's example is no other than that of Chris Hallbeck, whose comics are as simple as a circle and a rectangle. But don't underestimate them, they have everything that a good comic needs: funny situations, unexpected twists, wholesome things, and most importantly, a neat and tight story expressed in just a few strips. Chris Hallbeck is one of those successful few cartoonists who have made their passion a profession by escaping the grind of day jobs and making the leap of faith into the exciting world of comics. He quit his job more than 10 years ago, and never looked back since. And the move wasn't beneficial only to him-he was able to commit himself to bringing smiles to the faces of millions of people that read his comics. The Maximumble, Minimumble, and the Book of Biff are among his most successful series of comics that he's ever done, and today we share some comics from his Maximumble comic. It isn't Chris' first time in the limelight of Bored Panda. Here's the first post similar to this one, that he posted in 2017. He's also a frequent contributor, and you can check out his comic about a little monster and his human friend that he updates from time to time. Check them out if you like.

He used to draw a character named Biff to entertain his best friend. He drew it in his notebook while they sat across from each other at lunch. He later refined his Biff drawings and turned them into single-panel comics during college. He shared photocopies of his comics with whoever he ran into. Everything changed on the early days of the internet, around 1995-1998, when he started to share his work on the web. As he shared them, he wanted to syndicate his Biff character, but got a lot of rejection letters. And as his syndication dreams got buried, his interest in cartooning began to wilt, and he quit for about 8 years. #2 chrishallbeck Report Final score: 161points POST Ola Polowczyk Ola Polowczyk Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Looks like Ryan-the-Meh-Commenter, needs some Smile Makers and/or Coolness pills 32 32points reply View more comments #3 chrishallbeck Report Final score: 158points POST Eva the Egg Eva the Egg Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago SMACK 46 46points reply View More Replies...

In 2006, he created a new website and posted his comics just for fun. Chris was no longer hinged by the idea of syndicating his work, or becoming a full-time cartoonist. As he did that, he saw how the whole scene of webcomics began to materialize in the digital space. His Biff comics were successful enough that he could quit his day job in 2010. He had been aiming to create a second series of comics, but didn't know how to put it in his schedule. In 2011, Maximumble was born, and the comics that you see here today are essentially the same as back in the day. He used to warm up by writing a few jokes before he did the "serious" work with Biff and Maximumble, and so his Minimumble series were born as a sort of an accident. #4 chrishallbeck Report Final score: 138points POST Call Me Mars Call Me Mars Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago That's so sweet!

First he sits down with his iPad and consumes a lot of media from Tumblr, Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Then he distances himself from it and sits down in a room with a closed door and a white noise machine. For Maximumble, he starts by having a conversation with himself, usually starting with a question, and tries to keep the conversation going until he finds a joke or hits a dead end, and starts anew. He usually creates about five strips for each one that is drawn to completion. #6 chrishallbeck Report Final score: 134points POST N G N G Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 1 year ago A GOOD dad.

Then one of his best friends showed him Garfield. He checked the comic section of his bookstore religiously, and bought them occasionally. As he matured, he read Bloom County, Calvin & Hobbes, and The Far Side. He has many favorites in terms of webcomics, like Chainsaw Suit, Broodhollow, Gunshow Comic, Nedroid, Invisible Bread, and Left-Hand Cartoons, just to mention a few.

During my stay in Japan, we had a common kitchen on the ground floor. I always assumed the floor was a dark grey, until the day I spilled something on the floor and cleaned the spot, and it turnes white. The whole floor had never been cleaned....in who knows, who cares? It was dark grey, almost black. Spent a whole night scrubbing it, the satisfaction was immense. I hope i went down in history for that, as that one crazy student who cleaned the kitchen for a whole night. In my defense, i had crqzy insomnia at the time. 17 17points reply View more comments #26 chrishallbeck Report Final score: 66points POST TS Rhodes TS Rhodes Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago This is the first thing I ever saw where it's a same-sex couple, and that has NOTHING to do with the joke!

Then one of his best friends showed him Garfield. He checked the comic section of his bookstore religiously, and bought them occasionally. As he matured, he read Bloom County, Calvin & Hobbes, and The Far Side. He has many favorites in terms of webcomics, like Chainsaw Suit, Broodhollow, Gunshow Comic, Nedroid, Invisible Bread, and Left-Hand Cartoons, just to mention a few. It seems that all in all, Chris was born to do this, as he's so well-versed in this field. #10 chrishallbeck Report Final score: 105points POST Ian Koch Ian Koch Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago lol. 14 14points reply View more comments #11 chrishallbeck Report Final score: 103points POST Bow, I’m a Slytherclaw Bow, I’m a Slytherclaw Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Wait... does this kid have two mums?

View more comments #25 chrishallbeck Report Final score: 67points POST Kno Kno Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 1 year ago Aw memories. During my stay in Japan, we had a common kitchen on the ground floor. I always assumed the floor was a dark grey, until the day I spilled something on the floor and cleaned the spot, and it turnes white. The whole floor had never been cleaned....in who knows, who cares? It was dark grey, almost black. Spent a whole night scrubbing it, the satisfaction was immense. I hope i went down in history for that, as that one crazy student who cleaned the kitchen for a whole night. In my defense, i had crqzy insomnia at the time. 17 17points reply View more comments #26 chrishallbeck Report Final score: 66points POST TS Rhodes TS Rhodes Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago This is the first thing I ever saw where it's a same-sex couple, and that has NOTHING to do with the joke!
