G is for Governor

It’s been interesting to see how these comics have aged since April 2020. This was about the mad scramble as governments and organizations tried to figure out how to handle rising case numbers in mid-March. I pitied news anchors at the time, when information was changing so rapidly.

P.S. This is not an invitation to air your political opinion in the comments.

Christmas Tree Pile-Up

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!

What Was Napoleon’s First Name?

During a conversation with my husband and a friend, I suddenly couldn’t remember a relevant fact. “What was Napoleon’s first name?” I asked. I was met with a long silence, and wide-eyed stares.

Bonus: I have a degree in history.

We began speculating on what might have happened, had I asked such a question in an actual history class, particularly with certain professors (hint: I would no longer be here to ask foolish questions), and this comic was born.
