Illustration of a wary pigeon in a park and an excited child in a purple cardigan running towards it.

Sometimes when #KidLitArtPostcard time rolls around I've been too busy to plan something out, so I sketch up a scene from the park across from our apartment. It's fun to try something new!

The roasting doesn't stop. But to explain, I often pack dumplings and onigiri in the kids' lunches. And give them chopsticks to eat with.

5 frames of a comic of a young bear knocking on the door of her grandfather bear's house. He greets her with a hug. The word bubbles are empty.

Knock, knock, #kidlitartpostcard.

Here's a few frames from a #kidlit #graphicnovel pitch I'm working on.

Now that the younger kid is finished Grade 7 and left elementary school, I don’t think I’ll be in any more class-wide parent group chats. Whew. I will, however, still get roasted by my family.

Four panel comic: Title: Wherever you get your... Words: I listen to a lot of podcasts hosted by middle-aged white men. 1. Woman speaking "This is like the fourth podcast to talk about the 'loneliness epidemic.' This would be good to discuss at drawing club, or critique club, or at the society of pals, or talking club. I wonder if fundraising committee would care. 2. Woman leaves says, "I'm going to meet some people. Bye." 3. Man sits at a computer with a word bubble saying ". . ." 4. Wide shot of a sky with clouds, the word bubble floats away like an escaped balloon.

Ever since I saw Rushmore, I realized I could keep friends by starting clubs with people I like so we can meet up regularly for 'meetings.' #webcomic #whinywhinypancakes #lonelinessepidemic

Illustration of three children dressed in full-body rain suits enjoying the rain in the yard of a daycare next to the forest.

Bon voyage, pal! May you have some wonderful adventures. See you in future times, in other lands.

A four panel comic where a child has been reading her mom's doppelganger comics and doesn't like that she's pretending to be a doppelganger. The mom suggests they read a puberty book instead and the child leaves.

The kids are changing their hairstyles. And they might be on to me.

Whether the "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign stole the music is up for debate, but I found today that the font they used throughout was a pirated clone (XBAND Rough) of a real font (FF Confidential).

The Canadian west coast respectfully disagrees.

Things have taken a turn.

That’s a great tip!

They know I’m old because of my wrinkles and punctuation. And cause I don’t fully understand their meme slang. #webcomic #whinywhinypancakes

My comic has entered its doppelgänger era. #whinywhinypancakes

An illustratinon of a moth being shooed into a jar so it can be released outside. The moth says, "Fine, I'll go. But only because it's so boring here."

'Tis the season for #kidlitartpostcard and moths coming into my apartment without an invitation.
I draw with a dip pen and ink wash and then colour with a computer.

Webcomic, semi-autobiographical, where my kids say I smell weird when I get off a plane and then accuse me of being a doppelgänger.

Good luck on your search!
Here's some work I've done. More here: elsiedub.com

Webcomic where my kid asks for more screen time for homewor,, but the spouse says "she just wants to play games" and when the kid gets more screen time they ask for their Steam accounts to be unlinked because they get a notification every time their father starts playing Elden Ring and it's a lot.

I haven't posted a comic in a while because when I was on holiday in the spring I found out that European Netflix has so many K-dramas not available in Canada. So I had to keep my iPad on airplane mode until I finished watching everything I downloaded. Took a while. #webcomic
