A little cat sits in the left corner of the screen with their face scrunched up. A jagged word bubble coming out of their mouth reads, β€œA SINGLE BODY ISN’T MEANT TO PROCESS SO MUCH MISERY AND FEAR”

A loose sketchy comic of Bex playing solitaire on her phone. The text reads:

I've been playing a lot of solitaire on my phone in my down time. And when I'm procrastinating. Oops. Can't I just, like, become a phone solitaire influencer? That's a viable job, right?

Thank you!! Yess omg I feel the same. I find sketching the hardest part because that's when you have to think about all of the important stuff like composition, pose, angle etc etc etc it's so much. Lineart is bringing it to life

Just before Christmas, I got a puppy.
Her name is Minerva, and we call her *Minnie.

I'm still learning how to understand her.

Me: Do you need to go outside? Do you need to go outside, little baby? Do you need to do a poo?
Do you need to do a widdle piddle?

Minnie: Arf!

*I just call her "little baby" most of the time.

I'm also realizing I can't turn off the baby talk now.
Nobody tells you about that.

I got so lucky with my first puppy.
Her wonderful foster parents had her completely house-trained by the time we adopted her, so taking her outside for potty time has been pretty easy. I've got the puppy poopy routine pretty much down, now.

Me, putting on my coat: Let's see... I got the little poopy bags, puppy treats for bribes, jacket, scarf, phone… I think that's everything… Oh yes! And my passport.

I had been carrying around my passport for a while, but I knew it didn't matter. This is wrong. Nobody is required to carry around their papers.

I became a US citizen when I was seven. Since I was born in a refugee camp, I was stateless.
The US is the only nation where I've ever held citizenship. It's the only passport I've ever had, and it still felt important. Protective.

I would hold it in my pocket like a talisman, like it might ward off ghosts or something. But I realized I was holding onto it basically out of superstition.
ICE will pick up anybody.

I know that.

So I tucked my passport away.

And I largely avoid leaving my house.

I live a few blocks just South of George Floyd Square. I was in the neighborhood for that, too.
And all the neighbors came together to protect each other. We're already organized.
We'll do our best to get through this.

Me, to my dog: I hope I can take you for a walk someday soon. Won't that be nice, little baby?

Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis.

Yeah OK let's do this 😀 I think the thing I'm really good at is lineart. I love inking, it's my favourite part of the drawing process and I'm always trying to find ways to make my inking better and cooler!

HELL YEAH!!

Look at what we did TOGETHER! Comic-con has quietly changed their language and will NOT allow GenAi imagery in their art show!

And this happened because you all wrote letters, and shared your concerns! Speaking up works EVERY time!

So congrats friends! We did this together!!!
