COMIC: Countdown
This didn't happen to us, but I read this tweet by @insoMOMniac and could 100% imagine 6yo saying it, so I asked her if I could use it! :)

Making of "Freeze"
Despite how it may come across in the comics, I do actually enjoy Elf on a Shelf. 6yo stopped reacting to the "Reporting to Santa" part, so I've largely dropped that aspect. I'll occasionally use it on the 3yo, but he doesn't get into trouble so much.
So now it's just a fun game that makes December fe...

My kids are pretty clear in the things they want from Santa (LEGO!) but I've seen posts from other moms trying to work out what the heck a wishlist item is.
Last year my friend's kid asked for a "full size train and bulldozer to destroy house". It was so funny I wrote it down so I could ask her if I could use it t...

I like to do a new "Elf Cat With a Hat" comic every Christmas and I'd been racking my brain trying to think of one. I'd *JUST* given up and then this happened... π

*JUST* finished this one, so apologies for no early release. I was going to go with the "Wishlist" comic that I've already posted here, but I realized this would go perfectly after the last sandwich one, so I had to rush to draw it.
This is another word for word convo. I love my guys! :)

Making of "Sandwich Law"
This happened a couple of years ago when the eldest was 4. J had plans to illustrate a book of some of the batshit things he says, but he's moved onto a new project, so he gave me all his notes! (Yay!) :)
I'm happy to report I haven't fallen down the stairs -yet! At the time, kiddo kept mucking around on the...

We were chatting about something else entirely and J suddenly stopped and said "That parasite! You should do one about that parasite that makes people love cats!" Some quick googling brought up Toxoplasmosis.
This one was pretty efficient as I had linework to adapt from previous comics. I had some trou...

J is somewhat of a hypochondriac. He read a long time ago that randomly smelling burnt toast can be a sign of a stroke, so now he panics over any unexplained aromas! When the heating in a HVAC system turns on for the 1st time in the season it's often accompanied by an odd smell as the dust that's settled is burnt ...

6yo is Sus
6yo: 666! There is no letter 6!
Me: No there isn't -but why did you say 666...?
6yo: I donno. I just like saying 6.

I sketched this one out a while ago and it looked quite different. It was alright, but I'd been leaning rather heavily on them sitting at the kitchen counter and thought I could do better. I think I use the counter so much because I grew up reading Garfield. It's such a brilliant way to minimize backgrounds ...

Making of "Swords"
Occasionally I just get randomly down for a few days and then I'm fine again. I went through one of those patches last week and desperately wanted to draw, but hated everything I did. J kindly offered to help by sketching out a comic -it got me over the hump and I was off again!
I loved J's...

Sorry I've been quiet. Comictober wore me down and I just couldn't handle social media this week. Still drawing though! Two new comics are available for the $5+ tiers. I plan to start posting publicly again next week. Hope everyone is doing OK! Hugs to you all! :)

"Most sharks have 5 rows of teeth, and can have as many as 3000 teeth at once! Itβs a good thing sharks never run out of teeth, as they lose up to 100 per day. In fact, a shark may grow and use over 20,000 teeth in its lifetime!" (2020-10-25 18:01:39 +0000 UTC View Post

J really throws himself into imagination play with the kids. One day he was flying around a X-Wing when one of them tried shooting him down with Skye in her little pink helicopter, which he took umbrage with. I'd been trying to think of how to turn it into a strip ever since.

I always find little kids dressed as Chucky hilarious. I had drawn him as that already in last years Halloween comic, but the only other small horror character is Sam from Trick 'r Treat and I didn't want to hide his face.
