I’ve been wrapped up in Christmas projects, rather like Hedgie here. Hopefully she gets untangled in time for Christmas!

Inktober 16: Grungy
Halfway through the prompts for Inktober 2024! Unfortunately this is also where I really started struggling to come up with ideas….

Inktober 15: Guidebook
A librarian can guide you to the right book…even to the right guidebook, if you are taking a trip. And also, possibly find that book that you can’t remember anything about, but want to read again.
The bookcases are wonky–I am sorry. If you are particularly bothered by that sort of thing, maybe look at only one side of the comic at a time?

Inktober 14: Roam
“You’re getting warmer…no, colder…still colder…freezing cold…ice cold…you’re in the Arctic…!”
Remember the hot and cold game as a kid? I play it a lot with misplaced objects.

Inktober 13: Horizon
A rare peek behind-the-scenes into the making of a Lab Mice comic! Who do you think builds that fourth wall in the first place?

Happy Halloween!
This was last year’s final Inktober drawing. Inktober 2024 may be officially coming to an end, but I’ll be continuing to post for the prompts I haven’t completed yet. So look for more Inktober comics!
To everyone who is posting their final drawing today: Congratulations! You made it! …And now you have a pen permanently welded to your fingers!

Inktober 12: Remote
We’ve stumbled upon a remote civilization….


Inktober 11: Snacks
This Inktober’s art history parody is based on God Speed by Edmund Leighton, 1900.
“Snack” was a prompt two years ago, so I decided to go with something snack-adjacent. There’s nothing more annoying than getting to the battlefield and discovering you’ve forgotten your packed lunch back at the castle.
The Inktober challenge ends in two days, but I’m going to keep going until I finish the list. I must admit that I’ve lacked enthusiasm about the prompts this year–a feeling that I know is shared by many other Inktober artists–and it’s made me more reluctant to put my limited energy into the challenge. But now that I’ve begun, I don’t want to leave it unfinished. If I post three cartoons a week, for the remaining prompts, I should be finished by mid-December.
For all the artists who’ve made it this far–the finish line is just ahead!

Inktober 9: Sun
I am one of those people who burns after about five minutes in the sun, so this is not a far exaggeration of what I look like outdoors during the summer.
