About

Branson Reese is a cartoonist and sketch comedy actor whose comics have a significant following on Weird Twitter.

History

Reese's first webcomic, Escape From Heaven,[1] launched on Tumblr on February 18th, 2015 (first comic shown below).

ESCAPE rom I did it! I actually did it! They said it couldn't be done but I did it! I busted outta heaven! All I had to do was steal God's gunj Now alls I need is a ride. Can't very well "ghost away" if ol' God comes a' callin'. Better save one bullet. Can never be too careful..

While most of the comics did not gain many notes, Reese did draw Teen Comix, [2] a doodle which would later grow into a popular exploitable. In the original comic, the second panel, which would become the altered panel in future exploitables, shows a shirt that reads "What if they made Simpsons porn illegal?" The comic has generated over 25,000 notes as of May 18th, 2017 (shown below).

After June 7th, 2015, Reese did not update Escape From Heaven again until February of 2017. He did, however, continue posting webcomics for various news and comedy outlets. On September 7th, 2016, he posted the first of what would become several Garfield parodies to his Twitter account (shown below).[3]

On December 18th, he uploaded several comics to his personal Tumblr account. As of May 18th, 2017, he has uploaded a new comic to his personal Tumblr nearly every day since. Many of these grew popular on Twitter and Tumblr. One of the most popular was his comic titled "The Person Who Discovered Sharks,"[5] which gained over 13,000 retweets and 32,000 likes after its April 3rd, 2017 publication (shown below).

The popularity of the comic was buoyed by the discourse that followed it. Several people replied to the comic correcting Reese that sharks were not smooth creatures. Reese responded by trolling these people by acting like an expert on sharks who knows that sharks are in fact smooth. His troll was covered by gomn.com.[6]
