You know those weird stores you find off country roads, or down forgotten alleys, or tucked away in dead malls or derelict buildings? Places where you can peruse strange collections of stranger goods while a mysterious shopkeeper eyes you from the corner, not warm, but not overtly hostile? Places that feel surreal while you’re in them and impossible once you leave?
Jolly End Co. is one such stop along your journey, a little pocket of cyberspace that offers an ever changing collection of wonders, and an ever growing library of goods for the curious, the weary, and the wayward.
Conceptualized in ‘24, launched in ‘25, Jolly End Co. is a small start-up, a one-person operation, trying to nurture seedlings of hope and cheer in these uncertain times.
“If this is the end, let it be jolly. Come what may, let’s all have a real good time…”
-Witness Ellis, founder and creator of Jolly End Co.

F.A.Q.s
Is this a “joke” website?
No, Jolly End Co. is a real website and a real business selling real goods (some physical, some digital) to real people (or unreal people. Surreal people. This is a place for everybody.) It is irreverent, but it is real.
Why does my digital zine purchase say Tax = $0.00?
The displayed price contains any/all applicable taxes. What you see is what you pay.
What’s your official position on the end of the world?
The official Jolly End Co. position is one of equal opportunity open-mindedness. Ultimately, living to the fullest regardless of the odds is a lifestyle choice that doesn’t need to be tied to any particular scenario. Jolly End Co. seeks to spread good vibes whether customers fear climate catastrophe, a giant meteor, a grim singularity, or just the general malaise of day to day human existence. No matter what’s eating you, you still deserve a smile or a distraction and that’s what we’re here for.
Do you ship physical goods to X location?
Currently, physical goods are only sold in-person at markets and pop-up events to be announced if/when they’re occurring. However, this may change someday in the future. If you’re interested in knowing more, keep checking back. Digital goods are available online for purchase and download.
Will the webcomic always be free?
Yes. In the event there is ever demand for a physical compilation of the webcomic/prints of it etc. that will be done in addition to the stuff that’s already free. The free stuff won’t get paywalled later.
Are you going to stock X product or make a zine about theme Y?
Nothing is set in stone. Jolly End Co.’s offerings are eclectic. Its owner (Witness Ellis) is a one-person operator, producer, and content creator so things are produced as inspiration strikes. If you have suggestions or feedback, please feel free to submit it via the contact form.
The long-term goal of Jolly End Co. is to continue to expand and evolve into a kind of digital general store of eclectic things. There are a lot of different projects planned for the future so please keep checking back, check our socials, (and subscribe to the newsletter when it goes live) if you want to stay in the loop.
