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

This decorating committee is very literal.
From Inktober 2023.

Another Christmas snack attack!
This year’s Christmas card design is a sort of sequel to last year’s “Popcorn String,” as well as being inspired by “Tempting,” one of my Inktober comics from 2022.
I basically revolutionized how I color and edit comics at the end of this year; the old desktop that I was using for editing suddenly stopped opening Photoshop, so I replaced it with a laptop and the newest version of Photoshop. I also invested in some Copic artist markers and Prismacolor pencils. Having good, up-to-date materials and tools has made a world of difference, and I think you can see it in this card as compared to last year’s. I’m excited to go into the new year with all these new goodies!
I’ll be taking a break from posting for the week of Christmas, and then will be back on New Year’s Eve with a comic to ring in 2024.
Merry Christmas!

Mouse subscribes to the “make lemonade” philosophy of solving life’s difficulties. If life wraps you in Christmas lights, you must now be a Christmas tree.
That’s a wrap on this comic! Check out the entire strip in the next post!

Christmas tree lights strike again! Poor Hedgie is just another Christmas decoration now.
Check back on Friday for the final panel in this comic!

Color! 🤩
Trying something different for the remainder of December by creating a comic per week using the squares on my Instragram grid. That won’t quite work here on the blog, but I’ll still be posting the three panels for each comic on Monday (or Tuesday, in this week’s case), Wednesday, and Friday, and the complete comic on Friday, as well. Check back tomorrow for the next panel and watch the comic unfold over the week!
(Crossing my fingers that this turns out the way I envision it on IG! Check it out at @labmice_am)

Three days ’til Christmas!
How’s that holiday food prep going?
Christmas card design from 2013.

“The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.”
The last of the mini Christmas cards from 2010.
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!”


Two more days to get wrapped up for Christmas!
I really enjoy drawing and coloring these little cartoons, and then staging them for photos. Possibly I get more of a kick out of doing it than anyone else gets out of looking at them! If you happen to like this, however, I usually post these on the Lab Mice Instagram (which also has more behind-the-scenes content) or Facebook page.
