So, no one told you life was gonna be this gay! Welcome to Grease Bats, an on-going monthly comic, created by Archie Bongiovanni!

You can now read Grease Bats offline, in the physical world!! Snag a copy for you and a pal.

In a black and white comic, Taylor calls a friend. They detail that they have to finish their thesis, then read another research paper and the friend cuts them off — don't they do anything for fun? Taylor scoffs, but the friend insists that pointless hobbies that make you happy are important! Taylor says that's what their dishes are for. The friend says they need to relax, Taylor responds "I haven't relaxed since 2019. I've given up."

Taylor's friend responds, "your life is all outta balance. You need a vice!" Taylor questions, "like puzzles" and the friend laughs, "no like DRUGS" or "romance novels, drinking, masturbation, online gambling!" Taylor says "ughh, how about I download Candy Crush and we start there." The friend responds, "FINE. But we'll revisit drugs later."
