About
Woody After Hours is a webcomic about a late night talk show in Raleigh, NC. Contrary to what you may have thought, the title is not meant to imply that the comic is, or is about, porn. Sorry.
WAH is written by Ben Carter and illustrated by Paul Westover. There is a new comic every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On Tuesday and Thursday Woody reviews late night talk shows such as The Tonight Show, Late Night and The Late Show. So you’re guaranteed five days of entertainment each week.
