'New' Comic: Little Otto!

GoComics regulars know Scott Nickel as the mad genius behind the kooky, spooky, daily comic gem EEK! Scott has also been sole creator or co-creator on several other comic features over the years, all while maintaining his day job at Paws, Inc. and creating cartoons for Mad Magazine, greeting cards, and more on the side. He's a busy guy.

Not too long ago, Scott found time to create another fun little strip, called Little Otto:

"So I did this daily comic strip for a California newspaper a few years back, and I have about 15 months' worth of material...I looked at it again recently and I really quite liked it, even though it comes from a completely different place than EEK!...I decided to see if Uclick was interested and they were, so it's running 3 days a week on GoComics."

Fans of Nickel's work already know he's a very versatile cartoonist, having produced top-notch work in a wealth of different styles for all sorts of media. Little Otto is another great example of Nickel's exceptional talent.

Congratulations Scott on your new strip being picked up for GoComics! I love your work.

Now let's hope that "Life of Lou", "Molly and the Bear" and "UFO" get picked up for GoComics soon. They are all excellent strips as well. Why they are still on Sherpa is anyone's guess.

[Albert J.]

Yes! Why is "Life of Lou" not on GoComics?!!!!! This makes no sense!

[Lucas Turnbloom]

Great comic, Scott!

[Jay]

Yes! Life of Lou is always brilliant!!!!

[Jay]

I loved Bob Scott's Myron and I love Molly and the Bear. Both are exceptional!!!

Congrats on Little Otto. It's hilarious and well drawn!

[Lucas Turnbloom]

I need to chime in too on "Molly and the Bear.
It's a great Sherpa strip. The illustrations are brilliant.

Congrats again to Scott!

Congratulations Scott! I have been following your work for quite some time and I absolutely love all of it.

And Lucas, congrats to you as well. I love Imagine This. Great concept and art!

[Lucas Turnbloom]

Thank you, Amy!

[Scott Nickel]

Thanks, everyone!

Maybe one day I'll do an EEK!/Little Otto crossover. I think Madison would get along well with the Brain in the Jar.

I HAVE BEEN WONDERING FOR A LONG TIME NOW, CAN ANYONE TELL ME... HOW DO THESE "COMICS" GET THEIR JOB, MUCH LESS KEEP IT WHEN THE STUFF THEY COME UP WITH IS FAR FROM FUNNY AND MOST OF THE TIME BARELY MAKES SENSE?? WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE USUAL FEW CLASSICS,(ANDY CAPP,B.C. ECT) THE REST TOTALY SUCK!!! NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING FUNNY....
