Hypatia lays in the sun in the front doorway, recreating my past comic.

Hypatia recreated my past comic.

I don’t know why the BlueSky app added a white boarder to my comic 😕

Panel 1: Hypatia sleeps at the front door open with the slight sounds of traffic in the background. Panel 2: Hypatia’s sleep is disturbed by the growing sounds of traffic. Panel 3: The sounds of traffic explodes such that Hypatia jumps in auditory overload! Panel 4: Recovering from the auditory explosion from the traffic jam of the day, sighs, “I hate rush hour!”

Traffic.

Some greenery and Masahiro Sakurai I painted in watercolor and color pencil.

That’s such a good idea! I use page templates as well, but drawn on another piece of paper and I use a light table to transfer them to thicker paper. Templates are so useful.

All The Baby Kitties by Simone K. Mitchell © 2025 Panel 1: Hypatia talks to Pierce in the yard. Hypatia tells Pierce, "You keep getting in trouble, Pierce, because you're not spraying right. Pierce responds, "I'm trying, Hypatia." Panel 2: Hypatia further explains, "It's a mist, not straight up peeing. Do it like this. Panel 3: Pierce, heavily contemplating what Hypatia said to him, "Mmmmm..." Panel 4: Pierce exclaims with the enthusiasm of finding pure gold, "You mean like this?" Hypatia screams, "EWWW PIERCE!!! NOT LIKE THAT!!!" after Pierce, lifting his leg like a dog, and with a stream of pee so powerful, that it bounces off the wall of the house where Pierce was peeing on, and soaks poor Hypatia!

Learning the basics.

I can definitely relate to this!

On a nice and sunny day in the backyard, Mileva and Pierce sit together on the grass and watch as their mother walks by. Panel 1: Pierce says, "There goes mom." Panel 2: Pierce thinks to Mileva, "I wonder what mom is making for dinner tonight?" Panel 3: A nice moment of silence among these two kitties. Panel 4: Mileva abruptly says out of nowhere, "I'm calling the police on that lady!" Shocking Pierce!

What?!

Panel 1: Woman looks outside through the window blinds and says, "OOOOK! Finally the rain has stopped!" Panel 2: "And no rain all day!" As she looks at the weather app on her smartphone. Panel 3: Woman exclaims as she prepares to walk out the door for work, "Mondays always suck, but at least I won't get..." Panel 4: "Wet..." Woman says, as she gets all wet from the surprise rain.

A comic I did back in 2019.

"All the Baby Kitties" by Simone K. Mitchell © 2025 Panel 1: Darwin the cat asks his father for some of his food. As much as he can get, of course. "Wah!" Darwin utters his usual, baby-goat like commands. "Darwin! You want some of what I'm eating?" Panel 2: Darwin's father responds, "I don't think you'd like this anyway". Darwin enthusiastically says, "Wah!" Panel 3: Darwin's dad gets up from his chair, "Let me get your baby kitty food." With emphasis the word, your. Panel 4: Darwin's dad returns. "Darwin..." Darwin's father says with a sigh as his kitty son helps himself to a good portion of his dad's food, using his father's fork and knife, like the fine gentleman that he is. "It tastes good to me!" And life goes on.

The top 7 donors in the 2024 election — all GOP — gave a combined $1B to buy Trump a second term.

It's a gigantic amount of money in total — but it's just pocket change to them.

We must get Big Money out of politics.

No one from either party should be able to buy an election.

Trump is urging GOP lawmakers to defund PBS "immediately".

He's not the first right-wing crook to wage war on public broadcasting.
