Day 13 of my fun and games #inktober I love this games mix of action and comedy. I played it emulated on my high school’s computer lab machines after class while I waited for rehearsal.

A drawing of a cartoonish boxing match where a very big guy is getting knocked out. It’s silly really…

The first time I attended Thought Bubble I managed to cover my hands in lube in the middle of the show floor while tabling, so things can only go up from here.

Thought Bubble, November. Lucy shakes hands with an attendee from behind her table, saying "Lovely to meet you! Thanks for coming by." She thinks "Yeeg, I've shaken a lot of hands today. Good thing I remembered my hand sanitizer!" She flicks open the tiny bottle.

Lucy splurts a bit of sanitizer onto her hands and rubs them around, then stops, her eyes wide and horrified. The caption below reads "Six months earlier..."

Lucy's filling a suitcase and thinking to herself "Right. TCAF, what to bring? Jacket, tablecloth, socks, signage, toothpaste, books..." she claps a hand to her head, remembering: "Lube!" She holds a bottle, saying "Well that's not making it through security. But this?" She holds up a tiny bottle previously used to hold hand sanitizer and then grins, hands on hips in triumph. "There is no way this could possibly go wrong!"

And so: Lucy stands at Thought Bubble, hands slimy, looking sheepishly over her shoulder at Danielle Corsetto and saying "Hey Danielle? Do you have any paper towels?"

My black cat rogue has rolled two 13s in a row, I think he may die tonight. #pathfinder #pathfindercharacters

A spread of sketches of a black cat rogue character named Cricket. He's 4'7", Danny Devito-shaped. Thick. He's wearing baggy white pants and an open vest that shows off a long scar across his chest. Between his two small cat ears, his short black hair has a splash of blood red in the front. He's surrounded by his various weapons, which consist of a blood sucking sword, a hunga-munga, and several daggers. He has so many knives. He's an asshole, and has been "cursed" with bad luck his whole life (he probably actually isn't just has anxiety and is hella superstitious).

My latest influences come from indie animation- from Laika and Don Bluth to Sylvain Chomet (but also Evan Cagle and Alariko) I think I’m getting closer to a style integrating all those with PROMETHEUS GRAFT. I’m really proud of it and excited to see how this style develops. Out Dec! FOC 11/02

Really lovely crowd at the @crucialcomix.bsky.social workshop on surviving long projects this morning. One of the questions that came up was around rituals for beginning or ending work (either on the day-to-day/page-to-page scale or on the big project scale). Got one? I'd love to hear about it.
