A slice of life comic with no small amount of fictitious shenanigans!
Credits recovered · Memories corrected
The old files preserved a very short credit line. This page keeps that record intact, then adds the part memory supplied later: Jake helped write the thing too. Whoops.
Original credited writer
Every recovered sidecar repeats D. Mongeni in the writer field, preserving the primary script credit across the original run. That writing laid the foundation for the apartment, the deadpan disasters, and a robot with entirely too much initiative.
The surviving archive does not include a fuller biography or a strip-by-strip division of writing duties, so this page does not manufacture one.
Writing contributor · Artist · Editor
Jake contributed writing, jokes, dialogue, and story work alongside the surviving primary writing credit. He also drew and edited the comic under the Long Haired Syndicate Studios name—then returned years later to put the recovered run back online.
Yes, the artist named a main character Jake. No, this page will not be convening an ethics panel about it.
The corrected credit line
Writing by D. Mongeni, with contributions by Jake Herrmann · Art and editing by Jake Herrmann · Long Haired Syndicate Studios
D. Mongeni, with writing contributions from Jake Herrmann.
Characters, panels, expressions, improbable machinery: Jake Herrmann.
Assembly and editorial credit: Jake Herrmann.
Released under the Long Haired Syndicate Studios imprint.
The recovered metadata consistently names D. Mongeni as writer, Jake Herrmann as artist and editor, and Long Haired Syndicate Studios as the studio. That is the documentary record.
Jake also helped write. The archive cannot yet assign individual jokes, scenes, or strips between the two writers, so the restored credit says exactly that—and no more.
