The Official Archives of Red Ring of Death, the most influential gaming webcomic of 2006, written and created by Shawn Tuckley.
The strip that started it all! Posted in mid-2006 (the actual date in question is lost to time, as Shawn deleted and re-uploaded the archives several times), this was the strip that changed the face of gamer-related webcomics forever, the first shot across the bow signaling the birth of the Shawn Tuckley Empire. Shawn had,… Continue reading #1: Up In Smoke
The beginning of another hilarious Red Ring story arc, this time centered around our beloved Switchy’s “munchie” antics! Rumor has it that this storyline was based on a real-life event involving Shawn’s actual 24th birthday party. However, the actual event involved Shawn himself throwing up after drinking too much Mountain Dew Code Red mixed with… Continue reading #23: That’s Our Switchy!
The laughs just keep on coming! I know a lot of folks are going to be asking about the glut of “full Switchy” fan art that resulted from this strip, which some could argue became borderline fetishistic. While that could be the case (and Shawn certainly thought so, considering he would ban anyone who posted… Continue reading #24: Happy Barf-Day

Circa 2013. Perhaps even more controversial than his last Ouya strip, this comic reignited the Ouya forum thread after it had finally started to die down. This would be Switchy’s last appearance until the Ouya was discontinued in 2015.
The first strip in Red Ring’s first major story arc, and the one that many fans cite as the one that really got them “hooked” by Shawn’s storytelling chops. This storyline really changed the gaming webcomic game forever, and we’re excited to present it to you once again!
The second page of this incredible story – you can already feel Shawn’s storytelling prowess growing by leaps and bounds. Hard to read this one again, honestly, but proud to present it to a new audience!
One of the most masterful, artistic strips in the “Switchy on Trial” storyline, and one of the most groundbreaking gamer strips of all time. Nothing was the same after this one. So proud to present it to you all again!
The plot thickens here.. seems like a lot of powerful forces want to see Switchy in jail! How can he possibly get out of this??
Another haunting chapter in this storyline, with some of Shawn’s most chilling and poignant writing to date. Incredible! And the story only gets even better from here!!
