Scamagram

Some people (or bots) on Instagram seem to be taking “If Lab Mice Were a Cat Comic” a bit too literally. I keep getting spam messages offering my cartoon mice free pet accessories,🐱🐶 if only they’ll model said products. I wondered just how that would look, so here we are: Lab Mice, in their experimental capacity, trying out some of my cats’ stuff.

*No cartoon mice were harmed in the making of these comics. No cats were deprived more than temporarily of their possessions. It was already too late for the toy mouse.

What Was Napoleon’s First Name?

During a conversation with my husband and a friend, I suddenly couldn’t remember a relevant fact. “What was Napoleon’s first name?” I asked. I was met with a long silence, and wide-eyed stares.

Bonus: I have a degree in history.

We began speculating on what might have happened, had I asked such a question in an actual history class, particularly with certain professors (hint: I would no longer be here to ask foolish questions), and this comic was born.

Snowdrops

My grandma passed away this week. It’s too early for snowdrops here; but they are symbols of renewal and hope, and when the time is right, they will proclaim the coming of Spring. These hoped-for snowdrops are for her.

I will be traveling to be with my family during this time, and will continue posting comics when I return.
