A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' 
The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross.
The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

The Maynard family is sitting around a round table, eating dinner together.
Several delicious-looking closeups of food are visible: beef slices, salad, and bread.
Bridget: So... how did things go with Jane, today? Did you get a lot of studying done? ...Audrey?
Audrey is smiling, looking distracted. She's a chubby teenage girl with short, bluntly-cut dark hair, brown skin, brown eyes, and freckles.
Audrey: Yeah... she's pretty great. It's been nice to hang out with her more...

Warren: Yeah... I offered to help her out this morning, but she was like,
Cutaway to a cartoony flashback scene where Warren looks despondent and Audrey looks annoyed.
Warren, imitating Audrey: "WARRRRENNN!!!" "Mind your own business and stop pestering meeee!"
Effect text pointing to Warren: helpful and innocent brother
Warren: And I guess it's kind of embarrassing to get help from your brother, but... ...I mean... you don't have to spend every single day trying to figure this stuff out with Jane when I'm right here.
Bridget and Anza share a look and then turn to Warren.
Bridget: Well... ...we don't know for sure...
Anza: ...And we wouldn't want to put any pressure on them...
Bridget: But the way Audrey and Jane have been acting lately... ...It just reminds me of how certain people we know used to act when they were that age.
Cut to Leo and Maisie cuddling on the couch with heart effects surrounding them. They look back at Warren, looking a little confused, like they were only half paying attention to the conversation.
Warren: Ohhhh... ...yeah, you're probably right.

California passes proposition 50, which will mean multiple anti-LGBTQ+ Republican congress people will likely lose their seat.

A continual bloodbath for anti-LGBTQ+ Republicans tonight.

@governor.ca.gov Governor Newsom, given the abject failure of GOP transphobia tonight to get them absolutely any success whatsoever with voters, will you be reconsidering your policy of throwing transgender Californians under the bus to further your political ambitions?

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

Bridget, a fat white woman with blonde hair, blue eyes, and freckles, smiles as she holds up a basket of harvested plants.
Bridget: Well... we got most of the Frosts Season plants out of the ground today. It'll be nice to relax a bit before Rising Seeds starts. You didn't run into your sister on the way home, did you? She left with Jane earlier today.
Info box: Bridget Maynard. Apothecary. Anza's wife, Warren's mother.
Bridget and Maisie join Leo, Anza, and Warren. Maisie sits down on the couch next to Leo.
Leo: Sorry, Bridget. They're probably still studying together.
Bridget and Anza share a look.
Bridget: Yeah...
Anza: ...Probably!
Warren: Hey, Leo, do you think she'd help you with her classes? Since she's struggling, I guess...
Leo: Eh, maybe? You know how Audrey is... ...And I don't teach the teenagers so I'm not really sure what she's been learning...
Leo and Maisie cuddle on the couch, with Maisie resting her chin on Leo's collarbone.

A painting sits on an easel.  The painting is of a sunrise over the ocean.  The sun isn’t visible but shines brightly behind the clouds.  There are realistic areas in the center.  A lot of the painting has been pixelated around the edges.  The colors range from yellows, oranges, pinks, reds, purples, and blues.

I finally finished this today! πŸ₯³
Once it’s totally dry I’ll be able to photograph it better. But I’m so happy with it! Yay!

Please keep donating! I know this is a crazy amount of money to try to raise but my friend doesn't have another option and their ability to see their kids is on the line. This is someone I love and vouch for, please help if you can. Small donations go a long way.

Comic page.
Leo and Warren are having a conversation in the background with Anza, while Skye holds Mischief in the foreground. She's pressing her face against Mischief's head: it's unclear whether she's sniffing the cat or giving her a little kiss.
Leo: Yeah, you've got an apprentice to do all the boring stuff. That's why we keep Warren around, right?
Warren, icily: HEY.
Leo, apologetic: ...Sorry, that sounded meaner than I meant it to
Warren, smiling: It's fine! I was just joking around.
Mischief meows. Skye looks up and sees someone offscreen.
Skye: Ma! Ma!! I got hurt!
We meet Maisie, a tall white woman with curly red hair, hazel eyes, and a port wine stain on her lower right cheek. She looks understandably alarmed at what her daughter just said. A shorter, fat, middle-aged blonde woman is standing close to her, who looks a lot like Warren.
Info box: Maisie Maynard, Apprentice apothecary. Leo's wife, Skye's mother.
Maisie, concerned: WHAT!?! What happened?! Are you ok?!
Leo looks reassuringly and affectionately at his wife.
Leo: She's alright, Mae. She tripped and scraped her elbow.
Skye, smiling: I'm better now!!
Maisie looks reassured, though still a little on edge.
Maisie: Oh! ...Well, I'm glad you're alright!

Like it's actually insane how much working on tfl has improved my ability to draw people just because sticking to a schedule makes for consistent practice.

I'm done being self-deprecating, my art looks cool as shit now and I love it.

pros of starting a webcomic (in my experience so far):
- your art will improve very quickly
- fun way to make stuff with the ocs you are obsessed with
- you get to laugh evil-ly to yourself when you include foreshadowing
