About
We at Dumm Comics are dedicated to bringing you our patented "Daily Dumms for Everyones", a special blend of daily comics brought straight to your home or workplace through the magic of the Internets. Dumm Comics features the talents of Gabe Swarr, Sean Szeles, Katie Rice, Luke Cormican, Ricky Garduno, and Fred Osmond, along with our esteemed web master, Matt Gadbois. This revolutionary site was born on the fateful day when we like-minded cartoonists put our heads together and decided it was time to branch out from studio work and see what we could make independently. All six of us share a love of funny and free entertainment, but have different influences, styles, and outlooks, thus producing five unique cartoon creations. As our guest, we invite you to partake of our fruits, and hope that you will enjoy the site on a daily basis!

Earthward-Ho!

1930 Nightmare Theatre
by Ricky Garduno
Kimbo is a little guy who does all kinds of things. First conceived of in 1994 (during a useless Biology class), further developed in 1996 (in "Animation School"), pitched as a cartoon series in 2001 (what was I thinking?!) Kimbo's tragic misadventures finally saw print in 2003's Komikwerks volume 2 anthology. Oh, and also one time a nerd was seen wearing a Kimbo button on the T.V. show "Blind Date."
Ricky Garduno has been a storyboard artist and/or storyboard supervisor for Warner Bros, Disney, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network. He co-created an amazing animated short which now sits hidden away on a very glamorous shelf, deep within the Disney vaults.
