Liftoff Comics

Clean, everyday comic strips about family, marriage, work, dating and the joys of red tape. Original characters, drawn in-house.

Fiction · Original comics. Every character and situation here is made up by Launchpad Digital and drawn by us; any resemblance to real people is coincidental. Clean, everyday humor. When we joke about politics, we joke about government in general (lines, forms, red tape), never about a real politician or party.
