It’s December! Time to deck the halls!
This is “Christmas Tree Pile-Up,” from 2009 (back when the mice had whiskers). It started a tradition I’ve kept up (most) years of creating a new Christmas card each season, and sending them to friends and family. This first Christmas card design remains one of my favorites.
This will be available as a card in the Lab Mice Etsy shop, opening soon!
Happy Thanksgiving! And good luck to all the cooks preparing the feast this week.
Inspired by a friend who is cooking this year’s Thanksgiving dinner in a very small oven.

Q is for Quarantine: a Coronavirus Alphabet
The word for “A” isn’t very funny, but it might be relatable.
In March 2020, I became sick with a suspected case of long COVID. On the day after my quarantine ended, I received a handmade get-well card from a family member. The front of the card read “Q is for Quarantine,” and sparked the idea of creating a humorous pandemic-themed alphabet, starring Lab Mice.
Cartooning has helped fill some very long, hard days since then. Finding creativity and humor in the midst of pandemic chaos feels like winning a small victory over COVID. Ultimately, I would like to turn this project into a book.
