1st place

Strips One-Shots

Strips One-Shots is Planet Nude Strips’ banner for stand-alone comics. It’s where we publish single pieces that don’t belong to an ongoing series, giving artists the freedom to drop in a one-off gag or idea without needing a regular commitment.

Readers can expect an assortment of different artists to rotate through under this banner every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month (and sometimes intermittently). 🪐
