Countdown to Inktober: Part 1

I’m busy brainstorming and sketching for this year’s Inktober challenge (beginning October 1!), so I thought we’d have a look back at some of my favorite comics from last year’s prompts.

For the month of October, I’ll be drawing a new Lab Mice comic (generally one-panel) each day, based on the Inktober prompt list.

If you would like to follow me through this year’s challenge, I’ll be posting daily here on my blog for the month of October, as well as on my Instagram and Facebook page.

Now, without further ado…

Calendrical Caution

Last year’s “Christmas” card design, which continued a theme of calendrical angst begun in 2020. We shall continue to pursue this theme over the next few days, as yet another New Year approaches on a collision course. Put on some goggles and your sturdiest oven mitts.

Please Just Go Away…

I’m still determined to finish Q is for Quarantine, even if it has been almost 2-1/2 years in the making, simply out of sheer stubbornness. We’re not called covid “long-haulers” for nothing!

I drew these while sick with covid (confirmed, this time) in January. Though not as severe this time as it was in March 2020, it still dragged on and caused further health issues. I do really wish all of it would just go away….
