Whoever decided to make February a short month was wise indeed.
Made It to February

“Ho-ho–oh no!”
Santa has to be an expert at balance beam one day every year.
This is a prompt from Inktober 2024. I never finished due to getting sick right in the middle of Inktober, so I’m finally re-visiting them. Although it’s a bit ahead of where I left off, this one seemed appropriate for Christmas Eve.
Merry Christmas!
Cheesy Valentine
A mouse’s one true love.
Time Travel
When hanging up my 2024 calendar, I accidentally had it open to December and left it that way. It took me until later the next day to notice my mistake.
As it is, I have unfinished business with 2024–that is, I still need to finish Inktober! And then I’ll see what else the new year brings.

Last year’s Christmas card: “Gingerbread Snack Attack.” Don’t pre-eat all your Christmas goodies! One more day!

Inktober 15: Guidebook
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?

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 11: Snacks
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!
