HI, I’M ANDREW NEAL. I write, draw, and self-publish Meeting Comics, which is a comedy soap opera comic for grownups that began as a straight-up gag comic. You can read it on Patreon, in print, or as a PDF. You can also read classic Meeting Comics at comicfury!
There are new pages most weeks at the patreon and new issues for sale as they’re ready, every few months! There are two book collections. MEETING COMICS from Adhouse Books collects issues #1-6. CLOCKING IN AND SELLING OUT from Added Value Books collects #7-12 as well as the spinoff minicomic 320 Shades of Greg: A Meeting Comics Erotic Thriller.
UPCOMING APPEARANCE
NOICE: Norfolk VA’s Original Indie Comix Expo: Feb 28, 2026, The Annex, Norfolk, VA. NOICE is my favorite show! Here’s a piece I wrote about it.
CURRENT WORK
I’m currently working on NO RACCOONS IN HELL PART TWO, the second half of the third Val Cannon mystery! It’s 1997! Val and Tori are in disguise and are investigating FORT SATAN, a possibly satanist artist collective in a warehouse, as they try to find RANGER RICK, the punk house raccoon! I am posting the first few pages for free at patreon. Part one of NO RACCOONS IN HELL is available in print and PDF.
EMAIL NEWSLETTER
I took a break from comics for a few months at the end of 2025. Now that I’m back, I’m also sending out an approximately weekly email newsletter. Here’s the link!
LATEST BOOK

LATEST ISSUE
NO RACCOONS IN HELL is the third Val Cannon Mystery. In this issue, the house raccoon has been kidnapped, and Val investigates the situation while navigating the fact that maybe she doesn’t get to have sex with all her roommates any more.

QUOTES! BLURBS! PRAISE!
“…MEETING COMICS is the kind of thing a person can check out an issue or two of at their leisure, pick it up again a couple days (or even WEEKS) later, and be drawn back in like there was no interruption. You know, kind of like how it goes when you see old friends again.”
– Ryan Carey, Four Color Apocalypse
“Andrew Neal’s evolution as a cartoonist in his Meeting Comics strip has been fascinating to watch. He transformed it from an inchoate series of gag panels to an absurd but fully fleshed-out narrative chock full of complex, layered characters.”
– Rob Clough, High Low
“I tell you what, I had some doubts about the wisdom of reviewing every single issue of this series (that Andrew was nice enough to send me) instead of just doing the collected edition and a few random issues. Seeing it all unfold this way is just ridiculously impressive, as this is not a collection of characters that I would have guessed would turn into a coherent story. And yet!”
– Kevin Bramer, Optical Sloth
“Where the Rent Went is full of excellent characters, a solid plot, and art that is just dreamy. The chaos of the house, the shows, and the characters is highlighted by Neal’s dynamic use of patterns, texture, and lettering.”
– Sidney Drmay, Broken Pencil Magazine
“…the most tasteful drawing of a penis I have ever seen.”
– Rick V, Razorcake
