Futurama Fry is an image macro series that uses a still of Fry squinting his eyes from the TV show Futurama, and is typically paired with overlaid text using a phrasal template. The top line reads "Not sure if X", with "or just Y" as the bottom line, and is used to represent an internal monologue.

They're really great! The initial draw for me was that they don't have a wire/spiral spine, and they could fold totally flat which is perfect for sketching!

And I hope your projects are going well too (hopefully you've been able to get lots of writing done!! 😜😜)

If you, like me, enjoy using Leuchtturm1917 notebooks but hate that inks and paints bleed through I recommend using their 120g Leuchtturm1917.

Just bought one, used some watercolours and fresh markers on a page this morning and no bleed!! Paper has a really nice, smooth texture to it as well. ✨✨
