This didn't happen to us, but I read this tweet by @insoMOMniac and could 10...

There are a bunch of Gadgets in my Twitter feed inspired by the most excellent @FtK_Artist!  Thought I'd join in! 😊

Here's her original piece:

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 ...

Making of "Wishlist"

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 hous...

COMIC: Modern Problems

Here's your early Christmas present! :)

6yo saw this and is now requesting a robot to play Switch with him for Christ...

300 Downloadable

My Brain "300K followers on Instagram!  Wow!  I better draw something special!  Hmmm, well when I think 300, I think of the movie. 🤔  How about I do a Litterbox version with ketchup instead of blood?"

*draw draw draw*<...

COMIC: Freeze

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... 😅

COMIC: Dinner Talk

*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.

Th...

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 ...

COMIC: Sandwich Law

Yes this actually happened -word for word.  I think he was 4 at  the time. 😱

Making of "Big Book O' Facts"

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 ...

Making of "Getting Chilly"

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 se...

COMIC: Fed is Best (remastered)

I've been putting off remastering this one because I expected it to be a nightmare.  SURPRISE!  It was! 😅

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.

Making of "Tonight's Forecast"

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 gr...

COMIC: Big Book O'Facts

Great video on toxoplasmosis here! 

BONUS Panel!

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 sketc...

COMIC: Getting Chilly

Does anyone else's partner (or pet!) do this? 😅

Making of "Comedy Timing"

Another word for word one -J is such a good sport! 😄

This one sped along because I used the lines from the Cuphead comic as a jumping off point.  Before...

Bonus Panel? 🤔

Still Here! :)

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.  ...

COMIC: Swords

SWORD! SWORD! SWORD!

COMIC: Comedy Timing

Another word for word one! 😆

Making of "The Halloween Costume"

A few years ago my eldest declared he was going to be Blue Power Ranger for Halloween.  I eagerly replied "But ORANGE is your favorite color!  What about ORANGE Power Ranger?!"  He was very excited.  <...

Making of "Tooth Fairy"

"Most sharks have 5 rows of teeth, and can have as many as 3000 teeth at once!  It’s 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!"...
