To be fair, I self sabotaged that one, as I really didn’t want to go back to working at the Apple Store. Also the look on their faces was kinda great.

vampire bats are champion pissers, because they need to be able to shed all the water from the blood they drink, i think people should incorporate this into their vampire fiction

Today at the pet shop I had to put up a sign that said “we will be closed Monday due to a family emergency” because the owner had a death in the family. A boomer lady came in and snottily/incredulously said “you know in advance you’re going to have a family emergency”

I guess I will just do it! Anyways, I finally had these pins made. There are some things I might do differently on a second run but overall I think they still look cool!

A photo of some pins I designed. Both are shaped like a leaf with a drip tip and have a stylized flower mimic mantis. The one on the left reads "I'll fight you!" with the mantis as the letter i in the word fight. The one on the right reads "you lose" with a headless mantis as the o in the word lose, a stylized drop of blood suspended over its neck

in what unjust world is there Mops mops and Boops boops but no Blaps blaps? Get your act together, tenebrionid systematists

wikipedia's beloved photo of the fish species Boops boops. It is a startled-looking but otherwise unremarkable silver fish.

wikipedia's photo for the tenebrionid genus Blaps, but NOT Blaps blaps because there is no Blaps blaps.... YET

I should have a new page of Goats for Patreon folks by end of day today. Pencils, inks, flats, backgrounds and lettering is done, I just have to do highlights and such. Shouldn't take long.

Webcomics are the punk garage bands of art. What they lack in polish and regularity they make up for in originality and heart.
