Medical gel

foxesinlove post Medical gel from patreon

This is a conversation we've had several times - the gel dries out my skin, and it'll sting a little in the thick spots if I don't spread it evenly enough, so besides alterating between my shoulders and legs, it'd be convenient to have it spread on my back sometimes, too.

Honour in traffic

foxesinlove post Honour in traffic from patreon

My partner is a very "honour before reason" kind of a person in general. It's a good thing roughly as often as it is an inconvenience, but like with all things that are an inherent part of someone, you can either live with it or live without them.

Skipping phones

We have no idea how it's physically possible, but no matter how you toss a phone on that bed, it'll leap onto the floor.

The Latch

foxesinlove post The Latch from patreon

While this actually happened - fortunately I was only boiling water and managed to rescue it before damage was done - the latch was actually on our new apartment's balcony windows. Attaching the latch to a wall wasn't practical for the comic layout, though, so I changed the location to a floor.

I love that balcony, to...

The guitar

foxesinlove post The guitar from patreon

My partner argues that he "never learned to play" in the first place so the "again" is wrong, but I'll personally never get tired of the sound. Guitar tuning and gentle strumming is such a soothing, ambient background sound.

Drunk

foxesinlove post Drunk from patreon

I never make the same mistake twice. I do it 4-5 times just to be sure. This may or may not be a public apology to my spouse.

(Neither of us knows what the would-have-been fight was supposedly about. The guy I was talking with did apparently end up reassuring me I'm fine while crying - I have no memory of this...

Humming

Fun fact: I literally do not listen to music when I am by myself, because I always have a song stuck in my head, pretty much all the time.

Bees?

foxesinlove post Bees? from patreon

I have never been stung by a bee. I have never been tested, so if I'm allergic to them, I have no idea. They'll eventually get bored and let you be (pun unintended) if you just let them check you out.

Blanket theft

foxesinlove post Blanket theft from patreon

Based on a true story. It had been a series of warm nights, so he had been sleeping with only a cover for a blanket. The first night the weather cooled enough to need a real blanket, I had already wrapped in it.

Surprise nibble

foxesinlove post Surprise nibble from patreon

There's a saying in finnish, "the whole body suffers from having a stupid head", which is stated in all situations where someone caused their own physical misery by their own thoughtlessness or bad choices - whether it's having cold hands because one decided against wearing gloves, having a massive hangover from drinking too ...

The Anniversary

foxesinlove post The Anniversary from patreon

Confession: Neither of us actually remember the exact time and date of our first date. After our first year together, we checked the date from the old records of our conversation history on the app we met on, but we both neglected to write it down anywhere. Around the second or third year, we had both completely forgotten - w...

The rage loop

foxesinlove post The rage loop from patreon

Sometimes, I'm not sure if I've actually drawn a comic with the same concept/gag before, or if I just thought of it before months ago and forgot to write it down back then. But the rage loop is still very much real, and I'm yet to figure out how to get out of it.

My seven self-appointed rules of drawing comics

Working on both Foxes and the bigger, more complicated comic, I've made myself some rules about what I can and can't, should or shouldn't do. While the two of them are vastly different from each other - Foxes in Love being an indefinite collection of four-panel strips made entirely digitally in an extremely simplistic style, ...

Weighted blanket

My boyfriend actually hates my blanket - not because it's heavy, but because the fabric rustles loudly. He says that me tossing and turning at night sounds like a bag of chips spinning in a clothes dryer.

Jogging

foxesinlove post Jogging from patreon

Recently we started this jogging app thing, and while my partner keeps talking about it like he doesn't think we'll ever actually finish it, and we'll give up on it eventually, I don't let him. The jogging is enjoyable, we have a nice route to use,  and always feel better after going through with it, so even if he'd try ...

Scents

foxesinlove post Scents from patreon

My partner has a downright supernatural sense of scent. Some time ago we were walking down the street through the town, and he says, seemingly out of nowhere, "someone needs to pick those apples soon." I was baffled by this before we passed a house with an inner yard, which had an apple tree. He could smell ripe ...

Ticket rules

Someone told me that apparently the reason for this kind of rules is that people wouldn't try to use museums as a free day care, but picturing a gang of four-year-olds marching in with no intention to pay is much funnier.
