Tax Day

Today is the deadline to file your income taxes here in the U.S. Since I had already filed mine and didn’t have to spend the day frantically filling out tax forms, I was able to spend it drawing a last-minute comic instead.

What a Lunatic–Solar Eclipse 2024

The spiffed-up version!

I have enjoyed watching videos where people re-create the solar eclipse using common objects, such as library books, frying pans, cats, and hamsters.

What a Lunatic

The solar eclipse is passing through my area today! A quick comic in its honor (I’ll post a more refined version later).

Taking a Stab at Pi

An Inktober 2023 comic that is now my annual Pi Day/Ides of March comic. Stab stab stab….

Dancing in the Rain

…Unless it’s a thunderstorm or hurricane, of course.

Comic from 2010, Standing on the Edge of Real Life.

March

Except it really should have been snow in the last panel….

Microwave of Forgetfulness

Based on a true story.

I’ve mentioned before that I experience “brain fog” due to POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), which is a blood circulation disorder–turns out, if your brain isn’t getting enough blood flow, and therefore enough oxygen, it causes some problems. Like forgetting things. Including how to do things you believed you did “mindlessly,” like using a microwave. I put my food in the microwave, closed the door, and realized that I had absolutely no idea what to do next. I did eventually remember (hint: you push the buttons), but only after staring blankly at the microwave long enough for my food to have heated up.

More brain fog comics:
“Wander” (Inktober 2023)
“Forget” (Inktober 2022)

February Funk

And 2024 has the audacity to tack an extra day on at the end.

I’ve been extra tired and unmotivated recently, and I’m blaming it on February. Thankfully the month ends in a couple of days–so I can move on to March Melancholy. 😉

Snorin’ Kierkegaard

Credit for the pun goes entirely to my husband.

Be Careful It’s My Heart

In honor of Valentine’s Day tomorrow…based on the song “Be Careful It’s My Heart” from the movie “Holiday Inn.”
