Winter Wonderland

Just as GoDevilDante, Humon is an internet-based artist known only (to most of the public, at least) by her screen name. Residing in Denmark, she is a comic artist currently working on three different strips. Her comics are funny, sometimes a little vulgar, and widely popular among young internet browsers and ComicCon goers. She recently held a booth at a London comic exhibition and does maintainence and upkeep of a few different websites which house her comic strips.

Her two most famous comics are the Neils series and Scandinavia and the World. Love and Tentacles, the oldest of her strips but not as popular as the others, depicts Scandinavian folklore characters paired with humans and illustrates the humorous diffuculties involved in being a lover to someone of a different species. The Neils series illustates the life of fictitous character Agent 250, an older secret agent divorcee turned gay. His love interest so happens to be the younger Agent 300. Each of them is faced with the challenges of living as agents and dealing with their enemy, a towheaded criminal named Neils.

Scandinavia and the World comics are simply depictions of each country of the world in a stereotypical human form which pokes fun at the depicted country's points of interest, motivations, political humor, ec... Each country-personification is clad in the flag of their origins. Humon generally works with pencil-based sketches and computer media.
