She used to try to steal sips of my coffee every morning as well, but then she actually got a taste and that kinda ended that for the most part. She'll still try to thief some foam from time to time though. The morning I drew this one, she refused to touch her breakfast until I bribed her by telling her we could make a coffee together while she ate her oatmeal. Her favourite steps are tamping the espresso, and asking if it's hot and if it's coffee 600 times in a row. Anyway it's really cute and I just kinda wanted to capture it. That's my beefy babe! Ko-fi Curveball after curveball. Jimmy! Important context for this one My dad decided he wanted to be called "Jimmy" instead of "Grandpa" when he found out I was having a baby. Just a little update on how it's shaping up 2 years or so after her birth. To reiterate, my dad's name is Mike. love to share my art and comics, and I'm extremely blessed to be able to do it full-time as a career, in part due to readers like you! If you would like to support my work, please consider sharing with a friend, nabbing a print, buying me a coffee, or subscribing to my Patreon for as little as $1…

The kiddo started daycare a little while back and I think this is the first week or so since the end of January that I haven't been suffering from one kind of plague or another. The rest of the house still has a lingering cough but I think we're all finally in an okay mood for the first time in like.. two months. A little song we used to sing on our daily walks to the park. Please don't analyze the notation too closely. I have been reading music for 25 years and I still crumple at the sight of a sixteenth note. It's funny, now that she's in daycare, I keep thinking I'll have time to do stuff but it feels like I have more to do and less time than ever to do it!! I won't lie though, I sure feel more alive doing it now. Does that make me a selfish mom? Probably. Oh well. So be it. Women who are Moms First baffle me. They are too powerful. I have realized I am not capable of being Mom™️. I can do Mom Stuff, but being Mom, identifying as Mom is another thing entirely. How do you do it?? I am in awe of you. Maybe it'll come with time, I don't know. Why didn't anybody warn me that being a parent is endlessly hard and exhausting yet fulfilling in a way…

Hello everyone!Thank you for bearing with me as I work out the kinks and bugs of migrating subscribers and all that. The last couple of years have been a very tumultuous time, both personally and professionally, as I figure out the next steps for my career. There has been (and will continue to be) a lot of experimenting with different ideas and media and I am honoured that you have been with me all this way. I'm moving into a new phase of my career and I foresee a lot of throwing spaghetti at the wall for a while, as I figure out my new workflow, goals, and objectives. The main reason I have moved my comics over here is that even though I don't necessarily love Wordpress/Jetpack as a newsletter client, it is where my site is hosted and I think I've reached a point with this current era of the internet that I want to feel the illusion of control over my own "home" so to speak. I'm loathe to change all this again and absolutely exasperated with the state of things, but it had to be done. I just want to hand out one link to people, and I don't want to worry about that link going bust, being overrun with nazis, or becoming unusable in some way. I suspect there will still be some growing pains here and it isn't perfect, but hopefully this will be a nice enough home for my comics.Anyhow! Here are my…
