Batboy is back! In comic form!
I’m very excited to share this with you, it’s the second printed collection of Batboy Comics! Available now on Amazon.
Here’s the description from Amazon:
Batboy doesn’t know when to stop. He’s still flapping those anxious wings, drinking from the cup of pessimism, and wearing the sweatpants of awkwardness.
This collection comprises the second year of Batboy comics, originally released into the void of the internet from January through October 2022.
Also contained herein are brand new, never-before-seen panels,
some extra goodies, and the short horror story Death Creeps on Paws of Plush!
Batboy is an indie comic, which originated at the height of stress and anxiety in the year 2021. Batboy deals with everyday issues, mental health and self-improvement with wit, humor, and goofiness. For fans of classic Sunday funnies or underground comix, Batboy is everyone and is for everyone.
But don’t just take my word for it, below are a few reviews for the previous Batboy collection:
“Batboy is all of us. Self-sabotage and all. Lovely artwork and color, with a unique voice. There’s even callouts to Gorey! And as a bonus there is a sketchbook of Batboy at the end. I loved it.”
– Andrew Bellware
“M.R. Kessell has done it again! Within these pages lies a lovable and tragic representation of self-induced deprecation named Batboy.”
– Peter Hammarberg
“I absolutely ADORE Batboy and anxiously anticipate his next moves.”
– Katherine Kessell
“The next great Sunday comic character is Batboy!”
– Shawn Flanagan

Hey everybody! I will be appearing at the Highland Park Comic-Con this Saturday December 3rd! It’s all ages and FREE ENTRY! See you there at Pino’s, 13 N 4th Ave, Highland Park, NJ!
Stop by if you need any holiday gifts for the comic lovers in your life. I will have my usual assortment of Batboy books and zines, plus prints, pins and stickers!
If you can’t make it, why not check out my BOOKS page and my online STORE page for those last-minute weird gifts.
Plus I’ve got something BIG in the works, and as you can see below, Batboy is sweating!
I hope to reveal more soon about this project, so stay tuned! As usual you can find me on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Slasher!
It’s official: I’ve run out of ideas!
That’s why I’m happy to announce the first ever (and possibly last) BATBOY CAPTION CONTEST!
TO ENTER: Come up with an amazing caption and/or some hilarious dialogue for Batboy or his squirrel-friend Merle, POST IT AS A COMMENT and then TAG A FRIEND who you think might appreciate your bizarre sense of humor.
The winner and their friend will each receive a signed copy of my latest book: BATBOY AND THE ART OF SELF-SABOTAGE
The contest will run for one week (starting…now) on Instagram, Twitter and this blog, after which a panel of funny judges will decide which is the most side-splitting, knee-slappingest entry of them all.
By entering the contest, you agree to have your winning caption published on social media and in a future printed Batboy collection (with credit given to you, of course, as the wittiest wordsmith in all the land.)
Good luck. Now get to writing!
Batboy tried Wordle just once, for fun, what could it hurt? Everybody else was doing it. He could stop any time he wanted to…
