Where has the time gone!?
The line I've heard most since becoming a dad is to appreciate every moment I have with my baby because time has this cruel way of speeding up while all this wonderful and cute stuff is happening. So, that's what I've been trying to do! Even still, there's no freezing in a moment for...
MechaRobin
I'm not really sure what to say other than–hey! It's my first comic since we had our baby! I can't say for sure why I felt compelled to make this one, but we have been singing the Evangelion theme song to our child a lot...I'll be posting this one on my social media tomorrow mornin...
Eisner Ramble
I won an Eisner Award for Best Webcomic!!!I'm in disbelief that it happened at all, and (relatively) early in my career too! I've had fantasies of winning such a big award, but I was left with few words to say when it came time for me to go up on stage to accept it. I have a very loud voice ...
'Ew, It's Beautiful' release
'Ew, It's Beautiful' is finally out! Thank you to everyone who has ordered it, I hope you enjoy!It actually came out yesterday, but I had an optometrist appointment and they put these fun drops in my eyes that made it so I couldn't read all day.If you haven't already and you'...
Improbably Compatible (Old Knees)
This Old Knees is probably my most seen comic after someone uploaded it to tiktok where it has several millions of views. I'm a little bothered by that particular reposting of it, because the uploader chose to omit the final panel! I think some people interpret the final line as being pessimisti...
Your poor neck! + how old is this baby?
Mélodie's mom is visiting us for a couple of weeks, so I had some time to throw a quick comic together today!We continue to find animals that our daughter is reminding us of each week. Eagle-eyed readers will notice "5 weeks" is missing. I have no memory of what happened now, but I thi...
Fledgling
Since we have our own newborn, I thought it would be fitting to reshare this story I made a couple of years ago for Patreon. Here it is again all in one post! Originally, it was supposed to be one single strip, but I kept having little ideas for it, so I decided to make something a little longer but...
Ew, It's Beautiful
The following is an ad comic I'm about to post on my social media. For reasons that are still unclear to me, the release date has been moved up from August to July 15th. I'm told by my publisher that it may have to do with the demand for the book, that maybe its first printing is already sel...
Drawings for my daughter
Whew! I get a little flutter in my heart when I write out the words "my daughter"! I haven't had a lot of time to draw in these last few weeks, but I have done a small card for the first three weeks after the birth of our baby to commemorate her overall disposition in animal form for the...
Flower Share (Old Knees)
I actually really like apple blossoms...I thought it would be apt to repost an old crow favourite since Isabelle (aka Crow Time aka @secondlina on instagram) made this great promotional image for our conversation / live drawing event taking place this Sunday for the Montréal Comic Arts Festival. I...
Delusional
Hey patreon pals! It's been a whirlwind of a week or so! I am so happy to say that Mélodie and I have had a baby girl and she is healthy. I cannot express fully how proud I am of Mélodie for her strength through all of labour and how much I love seeing her being a mother to our daughter. Our ...
Dammit (Old Knees)
Quick Poll For Your Opinion Which I Greatly ValueWould you like me to post old False Knees comics here on Patreon? I typically post an old comic once a week (never more often than that) on social media, and I'm wondering if you would like to see them here as well. Thanks!

The good times are here, my friends
Knees In Motion
Here's another animation made by @robin.animates (on Instagram). Very cool to see my little fish swimming around!Based on this comic from 2018:Here at False Knees Inc. we are getting prepared for the new addition to our company (and family), which means we will be shutting down the store on May ...
Puffin's Bluff
The imagery for this comic has been lying dormant in my head for let's see... 6 years...I've got a pile of half-started comic ideas that I regularly look through, this was one of them. I have no memory of what the original comic was about, I'm pretty sure it wasn't anxiety poops thou...
Lil Goldies
I was so pleased to see some of my favourite early migrators in the tree outside my apartment window yesterday. I often see a pair of Golden-crowned Kinglets hopping around the spruce this time of year, presumably feasting on insects who were thinking they had finally made it through the winter unsc...
False Knees Studio (and Life) Update
Hey pals, new and old!I want to thank all of you who have put in orders for Life After Life–you are keeping Mélodie and me very busy! Inevitably, I will have forgotten to include a special print in some of your envelopes. If that is the case, please let me know and I will make sure to send you on...
The Kneesvember 2024 books are here!
I'm very excited to announce that the story I wrote in November is finally ready to be bought as a book in my store!After much deliberation with Mélodie, I've decided to entitle it "Life After Life". I didn't want to create a pattern of one-word titles for all my books, haha.As ...
Magic Sparrow
Hey pals! I've moved into my new studio! It's quite a change from what I've grown accustomed to over the many years of working out of my apartment. It's not quite ready to share pictures of, but hopefully it will be by next week!-Joshua
Crows are so creepy
Happy friday, everyone! I hope you all have a great weekend, I'm looking to have a busy one. Tomorrow I will be moving into my first ever studio! In all the years of making comics professionally, I have always worked out of my own home. I'm very excited to move in and organize my things, and...

Loosies
The GrateBrrrrrI've been meaning to try some watercolour + pencil comics for a bit, and I'm really glad I did! Very fun and flexible. Combines two of my favourite media. I think I'll be doing more of this in the near future!-Joshua
Quickies!
Practicing some quicker comics once again to work those muscles!Wishing you all a wonderful evening - Joshua
False Knees, animated
This animation was made by Robin Zimmer (https://www.instagram.com/robin.animates/). He approached me a few months ago asking if he could animate some of my comics, and after seeing some of his other work, I was really excited to see what he came up with. I've been asked a few times over the yea...
Snow Lump
I've really been enjoying making this pencil comics! They take a long time, haha. It's fun though. Especially the final stages of smoothing everything out. I'm working on a video showing the process.Here are some sketches that I made before starting this series.
A Kneesvember 2024 Post-mortem
Unlike Woven from last year, I didn't really have much of an idea for what this year's Kneesvember story (title TBD) was going to be about until it was about time to start making it. I had had "Chickadee explores an apartment (post-apocolyptic? [sic]) written on my ideas board for over a...
Kneesvember Day 30
Ahhh! It's over! What a wild month that was. I hope you enjoyed the story! Thank you so much for reading. I'm feeling a little bittersweet about it coming to an end, I was getting rather attached to the characters and the routine as well. I'm a bit wiped at the moment, but I think I'...
