Less than 200 pages to ink and colour yauuuuugh!! I'm tired y'all #intransit
A panel from my graphic novel "In Transit": a stoic driver wearing dark sunglasses and a seatbelt stares ahead while a worried rear-seat passenger with large round glasses leans forward, gripping her purse. The illustration is all in pinks and blues.

An acquaintance of mine, a fully-grown adult, is still making their "being part of Slytherin" their whole shtick. Like it's on their FB and Instagram profiles and they're making influencer videos about which HP sticker they should make next. I refuse to believe they don't know the whole TERF thing

This is the final real "Boumeries" strip I ever did! So it took over six years but we've done it, we've gone through the WHOLE ARCHIVE. I hope you've enjoyed the ride! I'm going to continue posting old comics but I'll be taking a short break. 🛌 #comics #boumeries
A 4-panel comic. I'm sitting on the sofa, but as the comic progresses I slowly turn into a pile of goo. The text reads "'Severance' was very good and intriguing, but watching it was a struggle. My eyes were burning and I couldn't keep them open. Was it because of my eye woes, or because I'd been crying? I went straight to bed after this."

A long day. #comics #boumeries
A 4-panel comic. I'm sitting on the sofa, exhausted. My husband and I are getting ready to watch the latest episode of "Severance". But for several days now, the sound on our TV has been buggy and so he's trying to fix with the remote. He's super angry and thinks aloud: "Why doesn't it work! 'So, what did you guys do for your anniversary?' We tried getting a speaker to work"

This is still true #comics #boumeries
A 4-panel comic. I put my kids to bed. My youngest lies with a bunch of plushies in her arms and a sleep mask. My oldest says "I don't want you to lose your other eye." I tell her I won't. Then this happens (as it does every night): my youngest says "Good night mom! Good night dad! Good night Margot (her sister)! Good night Moogle! Good night Kero! (our cats)". So we say good night. And then our oldest says "WALUIGI" and we repeat "waluiiigiiiii"

I couldn't see him, anyway #comics #boumeries
A 4-panel comic. My husband is writing a cheesy Facebook post about our 15th anniversary, on his phone. The post is complete with a photo of me from one of our past dates. He posts it: "15 years with you and I love you more than ever ❤️". The photo is me, with nice hair and a nice outfit, holding a class of wine. He lowers his phone to reveal the present me, and I'm lying on the couch with a compress on my eye, looking exhausted and terrible.

Being a cartoonist sometimes implies taking time off your graphic novel just so you can draw something else for once. Retro sci-fi/cassette futurism, especially of the anime kind, is very nostalgic to me.
An illustration all in purples and yellows. A woman in mechanic attire is sitting inside a capsule-style bedroom, lit by the sun through a small window. She's having dumplings. The setting is retro sci-fi or cassette futurism, with lots of pipes and analog screens decorating the surroundings. The illustration is very cluttered visually.

This all stemmed from a huge misunderstanding but why a teacher would throw away a perfectly good portfolio without even LOOKING INSIDE FOR A KID'S NAME, I'll never understand. #comics #boumeries
A 4-panel comic. I'm on the phone on all panels but I progressively become more aggravated and cry, and my kids hug me in the last panel. The narration reads "[My oldest] ended up telling me what happened at school. There was a mix-up and during recess her teacher threw all of her portfolio in the trash. That's a whole sketchbook, 50 pages of a comic she'd made, a mechanical pencil and leads that belonged to my late grandfather, and blending stumps. Fortunately they were able to fish out all the drawings from the trash, but my kid had understandably cried and got bullied for it. I spoke to her teacher on the phone and cried for the entire conversation."

What a day #comics #boumeries
A 4-panel comic. I'm going down stairs: the text reads "The kids will be home soon so I go downstairs to greet them." In the second panel, narration reads "Where I find out Keroberos has been playing in the cat water fountain". One of our cats has his two front paws in the cat fountain and there's water everywhere. I say "KERO" and I go on all fours to clean the floor. I say "I really didn't need this today." My kids arrive, and my oldest says "Hey mom! You okay?" and while still cleaning the floor, I say "aaaaaaaaaa"

This follows last week's comics where I was... at the hospital's ophthalmology department #comics #boumeries
A 4-panel comic. I sit down in front of my computer, thinking "Maybe I can finally get SOME work done today". The computer jingles: I have a new email from SAAQ, Quebec's government automobile insurance. The email reads "In order to keep your driver's license, you must undergo another health check. Please see an ophthalmologist and have them complete this form." I hold my head in my hands saying "Noooooo I was JUST there"

A 4-panel comic. I'm lying in my bed with both my cats curled up on me, with a compress on my left eye. The text reads "Home. Compress time." My phone jingles. Later, as I sit up to check, the narration continues: "My phone didn't ring, but my daughter's sixth grade teacher called and left a message. Something about where to buy replacement mechanical pencils and blending stumps for my child." I say "This doesn't bode well."

Why did I bother going to the hospital? #comics #boumeries
A 4-panel comic. I'm in a Uber. The text reads "The ophthalmologist still prescribed me some hydrating eyedrops so I stopped by the pharmacy on my way back." The pharmacy technician hands me my eyedrops and says "It'll be $80", to which I made a sad face because that's expensive. As I prepare my card, she intently looks at me, and suddenly but very confidently says "Oh you have a STYE"

This ophthalmologist was super rude (and probably overworked) but I really felt I hadn't received adequate care. #comics #boumeries
A 4-panel comic. I'm at the ophthalmologist's; she looks at my eyes and says "I don't see anything unusual." As she's writing at her desk, I tell her "Um, I took pictures of my eye earlier if you'd like to see how it was this morning." Dryly, she replies without looking at me: "Yeah no. It's easier to examine through a microscope." Annoyed, I add "I meant... to see how swollen my eyelid was..."
