My Dad's Lunchbox Collection

Everyone seemed to enjoy the fact that my dad takes a Looney Tunes lunch box to work, so I drew a follow-up (not)comic.

Typewriters and Environment and Such

Holy. I turned 26 today. I feel strange about that for some reason.

Wonderful day so far: G baked me a chocolate cake, made me breakfast, and showered me with presents, including a beautiful red typewriter!

I've always always always wanted a typewriter! Whoop!
About an hour after that, G got the results for his written Staatsexam and found out that he'd passed with an awesome grade! Whoop!

Heading to the therme and sauna to celebrate later on. Yay!

And here are some environment-related comics. I know. Totally unrelated, I know. I drew them yesterday.



Par-tay!

Phone Conversations

Just realized that all the comics I drew today had to do with talking on the phone with G.

Pretty Nipples?

Mind you, this happened at a funeral . . .




My grandma needs and will do anything (as seen here) to get attention. So yeah, she got it, but needless to say, it got excruciatingly awkward after that.

I can't believe I'd completely forgotten about this awesome story.

Doodles

I don't have much Bonsai-energy today so instead I'm being lazy and posting doodles from my little notebook that B gave me for Christmas. I tried to draw slightly more detailed (read: not stick figures) caricatures of people often illustrated in my blog. Ha!


Here's G and my friend B. G's head isn't actually that big. It's my head that's rather large.

Here are my parents. My dad takes a Looney Tunes lunchbox to work.

I don't know what we're surprised about, but I like this one.
Also, I usually wear glasses, but I'm too lazy to draw them in my comics. Yes . . . I'm a pretty lazy person.

Bonsai and Tights

(Literal) Bonsai news! My friend Jikki sent me an awesome build-it-yourself bonsai calender for the year 2012 and I couldn't resist putting it up on my blog. Thank you J!

She brought me bonsai! (har har)

But yes. Went running today to escape the hectic hubbub at home (my parents are packing for their trip to Japan). I always feel a little bit self-conscious when I wear my running tights . . . but they're stretchy and comfortable and warm.


Yes. Go ahead and make fun of me.

TI-83

As inspired by Pigs in Maputo's Nerdy Kid Dating comic.

Once upon a time in High Level math class, while using a TI-83 graphing calculator . . .

Assholes Cover

Been very productive today. Finished putting together and creating the cover for my Asshole series. Assholes #3 and #5 ended up being personal and actually not very interesting, so I won't be posting them here, but they are included in the booklet.

Just in case you haven't read them yet, here are Asshole #1, Asshole #2, and Asshole #4.

I'm not 100% satisfied with the stories, but I like the cover. I'm just afraid there's too much black/white/grey in my portfolio. I think it's time to go buy some coloured construction paper.

Assholes: world edition. (well, the only edition)

Asshole.

Took me forever to cut the super-simplified world map out without tearing it!

*peek*
My mom saw my booklet-in-process yesterday and said, "Asshole? What do you mean, asshole? Did you write about the anus?"

Right. Moving right along.

The Power of Japanese Television

Just finished cleaning out squid innards and eyeballs. My hands smell squiddy. eee.

And now, for something completely different:
