An illustration in blues and pinks. It's a screen, split in three vertically by lines like broken glass. A different character is shown in each third: Maryse, on the right, is stressing out, sweating, and rubbing her neck; Simone, in the center, is busy typing something on the computer that we can see reflected back at her in her glasses; and Adeline, holding a lit cigarette and looking depressed.

The Pow Pow Press 2026 calendar has been revealed, so here's the illustration I did for it, a teaser for my next book at Pow Pow, "In Transit" ⌨️💾

Noted

A 4-panel comic. My 3yo daughter is opening her toothpaste tube, then puts toothpaste on her toothbrush. She then looks at the tube and sticks it directly into her mouth, eating the toothpaste from the tube. I come in and say "So this is why you're running out of toothpaste faster than anyone else"

Thankfully, kids' toothpaste can be swallowed safely.

She gets her core strength from me (lol I wish, my abs are like jelly, I could never do that)

My 9yo daughter likes to climb things so I found a circus/Chinese pole class aimed at adults, but they allowed her in. She’s right at home, folks

I love the reference

A 4-panel comic. My 6yo daughter hands me a piece of paper and says "Veronica invited me to her birthday party! She gave me her phone number." I look at the paper-- it was clearly written by the child herself, there are too many numbers written down for it to be an actual phone number, and some numbers are impossible to read. I just say, uncomfortably, "Ummmm", while I imagine Veronica at her own birthday party, sad, thinking "Why didn't anyone come?"

Listen, independence in preschoolers is great!

Nice!! Yeah she’s starting to think about high school (she’s in 4th grade, high school here starts in 7th grade) and there’s a circus program there and she hopes to go there! Your kid sounds so cool haha

It is :D

It is!! She’s so happy doing it, too

Yay!!

A 4-panel comic. A while ago, our oldest daughter got a weird little toy in a Kinder Surprise egg. Is it a cat? Is it a squirrel? We'll never know! I started hiding it around the house for my husband to find. In his underwear drawer. In the fridge. In his jar of hair paste. My husband grows more exasperated with every panel.

It's like, endearingly ugly.

SAME

They are creepy cute! It’s great that you could get her one :)

Honestly I think they’re cute, but they’re wildly overpriced and their popularity baffles me. The lineups we saw in Japan just for Labubus were nuts

I just saw a woman walk by with a Labubu dangling from her purse, except the Labubu was enclosed in a Labubu-shaped plastic case.

A 4-panel comic. I'm on the phone. My 3yo daughter comes shouting "I WANNA TALK TO GRANDMA" and reaches for my phone, so I hand it to her. In the next panel, she's standing still, and my mother on the phone says hi. "Did you go to daycare today? Did you have fun? ...Hello?" All the while, my kid does nothing and says nothing. I peek into the last panel.

I don't know if it's because they all got used to FaceTime and video calls but my kids are still, to this day, terrible at talking on the phone.

Oof, yep, that’s me

I had never played Tactics Ogre until the remake (remaster?) of Tactics Ogre Reborn that came out a few years ago and I loved it. It was soooo hard haha

Yep okay! I’ve played both FFTA games. They’re fun but I liked the original FFT better, but that’s just because I like dark and gritty plots and the FFTA are both very lighthearted in comparison. Still super good though!

Please tell me Mustadio kept his name at least
