Eighteen Eighty one
Posted on January 29, 2026 by Juan

Edit: thanks to Reddit user garlic_lollipop who pointed out that the comic was missing the last panel! It's fixed now.

New Secret Knots comic: "1881".  If you know someone who you think would like it, you can easily share it with the button to post on Mastodon, Bsky, Facebook, etc. That's how people get here most of the time.

This comic was brought to you thanks to the support of kind Patreon subscribers, such as Phil Gooch.

I'd love to have a palindrome that made sense to add here in the text, but I think I've had enough of flipping things for a while; there will be a full dossier post about this comic, with extras and references, on Patreon soon, though. 

Wait! Here's one: ailihphilia ;)

New comic – (Untitled yet)

Posted on November 11, 2025 by Juan

I’ve been struggling with this idea for long. No more, town of soliloquies, you win. You are out there now as a comic and I don’t care if you make sense anymore.

Do you talk aloud when you are alone? I do this a lot and I’m not even counting dialogue with the cat. But what’s even better it’s when TWO or MORE casual soliloquists are together. It’s nuts, like when a press row ends and all reporters talk at the same time to their own stations. 

I hope you like the comic.

I’m sending out the last Secret Knots Circus performers. It’s a fun circus so I’d like to showcase some of them next on the blog.

The Secret Notes 07-March-18 • Circus Edition

Posted on November 11, 2025 by Juan

 Hello.

After a few false starts on the new comic, it looks on track finally. See also: reasons exposed in comic form on the previous blog, plus a couple of weeks off far away from most screens. (I can’t complain)

New drawing treat: the Secret Knots Circus comes to town

In order to make up for the lack of updates I’m opening this one to everybody who wants their quick portrait as one of the freaks and wonders of this existential circus.

Just pick one from:


The Non-Human Cannonball


The Plate-Spinning Bureaucrat


The Siamese Twin Whose Siamese Twin Is Not On This Plane Of Existence


The Specific Subject Expert Snake Charmer


The Party Escape Artist


The Political Contortionist 


The Fire Breathing Tinder User


The Hair Hanging Movie Critic


The Cliché Tamer


The Hyper Dimensional Clown


The Disaffected Trapeze Artist


The Oddly Non Hyperbolic Ringmaster


As you can see they’re twelve, so you could use them as some kind of astrological kind of typology for your personality. Also, I have no idea of how I’m going to draw them or even what some of these are.

As usual send a reference picture to my email, gemeloperverso@gmail.com with Secret Knots Circus in subject, and specifying the one you’ll be.


Note: In the process of checking previous drawing treats I noticed I passed by a couple of requests. I’m terribly sorry and I’ll get in touch with a couple of people I’m in debt with.

Note 2: I’ll definitely be sharing some of the results from this, so please keep that in mind.


See you soon with news and comics.

Thanks for your support!
