It’s #pridemonth!!!! It’s time to celebrate people’s rights to be who they are and love who they love. Equal rights of the lgbtqia+ community are non-negotiable. Whether you are out, or not, know that I support you and will always have your back. #kidlitart #kidlit #PictureBookArt #illustration

Happy Valentines Day! I hope someone bakes you a delicious (slug-free) treat today! #kidscomics #kidlit #comic #valentinesday

Kids comic, page 1 of 2. A cat is licking a wooden spoon as the oven dings. A young witch pops her head in and says “Something smells good!” “You’re just in time! I’m testing out a new recipe: Valentine Volcano Cake, with a love potion so yummy your heart will explode!” He cuts her a slice and as she goes to take a big bite he says “Made with butter, sugar, cream, dark chocolate…”

Kids comic page 2 of 2. The cat continues: “oh, and tuna, slugs, and catnip!” as the witch gives a nauseated “gulp!” and shoves the plate away. The cat asks “Well…?” with twinkling hopeful eyes. The witch blushes and says “Well, I think my taste buds exploded, not my heart….” In the final panel, the cat hugs her saying “Thanks! I must be getting close. I’ll keep trying” as the witch cringes at the reader saying “Heh, great!”
