Warm Laundry

I have been known to take a nap with a pile of clean, warm laundry as a pillow, and sympathize entirely with my cats in that regard. This explains why it takes me so long to get through the folding stage….

Post-Inktober Blank Page Syndrome

Thinking up comics to fit the prompts is a challenge, but so is being entirely self-starting! I have quite a long list of ideas that I’m excited to draw, but deciding which one to do first is giving me some choice paralysis.

Inktober Guest Stars

Elephants and spiders and dragons and toads and…Great Old Ones and…fire demons…and horses and hedgehogs, oh my! I drew a lot of creatures that were not mice for Inktober this year. Just to make the challenge extra-challenging, many of them I have not tried to draw in years (horses, dragons), and I’m sure I’ve never tried to draw a cuttlefish before.

Inktober 2023 Favorite

To my surprise, my comic based on “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost was my most popular Inktober post–and so far, my most popular comic on Instagram overall. Hooray for poetry!

Dozenth Anniversary

A bonus comic for this week, because yesterday my husband and I celebrated our “dozenth” (12th) wedding anniversary!

And that’s a wrap on Inktober! –Just a little late. 🙂 Thanks for following along!

One more prompt tomorrow, and then another Inktober is finished for me!

When you forget that your beach buddy is a giant alien-monster with tentacles….

Cthulhu to the rescue! This is the sequel to 24. Shallow, in which Mouse was overtaken by high tide. I have at least one other Cthulhu comic in mind for after Inktober, so keep an eye out!

Inktober 28: Sparkle

Inktober 28: Sparkle

I’ve been under the weather with a cold, which forced me to hit pause on Inktober…but I’m so close, it seems silly not to finish. So Inktober is going to be Inkvember for me for a few days. And then after that, I’ll go back to posting comics twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. Stick around–there’s more to come!

And to everyone who posted their 31st Inktober entry today–congratulations! You made it!

Inktober 27: Beast

Inktober 27: Beast

After all, the book title says….

I love the James Herriot books, and it occurred to me recently that I cannot recall the mention of mice, except in the context of a cat being a good mouser. Which probably would not please this particular audience very much.
