Making of "The Call"

J's grandma passed away last year.  She was one of those "I had a good life. Happy to finally know what's coming to get me and enjoy what I've got left" sort of women.  I hope I can be ne...

COMIC: Trolling

Whew!  Trying to get the buffer back up is killing my back. ONWARDS TO GLORY!

EDIT: Bonus panel!

Making of "Meh"

It is near impossible to get any information out of our 7yo about his day at school  -but as soon as it's bedtime, the dam breaks and his life story comes tumbling out.  It's deeply annoy...

COMIC: The Call

Gotta hand it to our boy -he's always creating content, even through trying times! 😅

EDIT: I came up with a bonus panel at the 11th hour!

Making of "Temperature"

I don't know why I never labelled my thermometers.  My dumb sleep deprived brain probably just assumed I'd remember which was which.  Things are always so hectic when they're ill.  T...

COMIC: Meh.

Getting back on track!  (Why did I start with a complicated one! 😅) 

I'm BACK!

Apologies for lack of posts.  Had some family stuff to deal with, but I'm BACK!  Going to start building up my comic buffer again, please bear with me! :)

COMIC: Temperature

Nothing to see here folks!

Making of "Mouseworld"

We did Disney World in December.  It was our first foray into being the grown ups on such an adventure.  We predicted it would be tough, but rewarding and we were pretty much on the money...

COMIC: Litter Training

Based on an old conversation with my youngest.

People have asked where the litter boxes come in and now you know -they're kitten potties! :)

EDIT: Bonus Panel!  You can rely on me ...

COMIC: Words To Live By

Words of wisdom from J 😆

Making of "Chips"

This started as an actual conversation.  I often jokingly blame J for feeding me yummy things.  I'll eat something naughty (often after he's warned me not to) and then get a hurty tummy. ...

COMIC: Mouseworld

My thoughts on our recent Disney trip couldn't fit into a single comic, so you get DOUBLE! 

Vincent's line at the end is subject to change.  We feel we can fit a joke in there, but ...

Making of "Safe at Home"

J came home from his annual checkup saying he always thinks of the kids attacking him when they ask if he "feels safe at home".  He suggested the comic could end with Joel staring off into spa...

COMIC: Chips

😅

COMIC: That Smell (remastered)

Waiting on J to weigh in with some expressions on a new comic, so I thought I'd knock this remaster out in the meantime.

I set out just updating the art, but the bodies of the zebra and chame...

Making of "The Quiet Part"

My youngest has been able to skip naps since he was a baby.  My oldest however -oh boy!  You KNOW when he's tired.  Unfortunately the #1 thing his stubborn ass NEVER wants to do is N...

COMIC: Safe at Home

J had a checkup and came up with this comic.

Edit: BONUS panel!

Embarrassing Pose Photos

My camera roll is filled to the brim with embarrassing photos of myself, posing for drawing reference pictures.  A while ago I made a goal that I'd release some if I hit 200 patrons.  I d...

COMIC: The Quiet Part

He said the quiet part out loud. 

Actual quote from when he was 5.  One thing I cannot fault this kid on is his honesty!

Making of "Squirrel Away"

I'm terrible at buying things for people when I NEED to buy them.  My mind just goes blank.  I am however very good at noticing gifts for people throughout the year, so I buy them and hid...

December Break

I'm going to take a break posting live this month.  We're off to Disney next week and then there's the holidays.  I was stressing myself out trying to get ahead of it all, so maybe I just...

COMIC: Squirreled Away

I'm the squirrel right now 😬

Edit: Realized I made a mistake with the sunny background!  That's what I get for living in Texas!

Making of "Hey!"

Our dog goes MENTAL when he sees anyone outside.  I always joke that he's outraged that the neighbors are daring to *exist* in front of him again.  I imagine if he was human, he'd be a no...

Making of "Thankful"

This one happened last year.  Judging by the comments, a lot of teachers "coach" the kids in their Thanksgiving pictures, so that made me feel a bit better!

I thought it would be cute to...

COMIC: Hey!

All dogs next week.

Edit: BONUS Panel!

COMIC: Thankful

True story from last year... 🙄

I drew this comic last week, but only managed to get 7yo to draw the 1st panel today!  He's a good sport 😁

Making of "Baby Spoon"

My oldest did this a couple of years ago.  He'd been using adult spoons for a while, but one day I gave him a jello with a baby spoon -because I prefer to eat jello with little spoons (it make...

Making of "Feelin' Festive"

As well as keeping a google doc with general comic ideas, I also have one with seasonal ideas.  I'll often forget this one exists, so I'll sometimes discover some lost gems.  I must have ...

Thankful For You!

Feeling thankful for all of you wonderful patrons, especially as I just cracked $1K/mth for the 1st time!  Incredible! 😍

I'll be running a 15% discount code next week, but please enjo...
