my hair grew out so i asked my friend to give me a buzzcut. i wanted to know the shape of my head and see exactly where my patch of gray hair was (shockingly right in the middle). i now look like if a baby was also 34 years old

doodles of me before and after getting a buzzcut. im wearing a hat wearily and my hair sticks out the sides like an animal crossing character (cringe). im wearing a trash bag over my body and saying "fuck my shit upppp" and my friend is holding an electric shaver and saying "ok". and a colored drawing of me in my visibly millennial outfit: hl2 hat, nine inch nails shirt, fish crossbody bag, cargo pants. lol

it took so long but i finally put together my hourly comics from last week (i just needed to arrange them but i got busy...) #hourlycomicday #hourlycomicday2026

a comic. ?? am: annoying dog on my bed... well, as long as he doesnt bother me (i am sleeping). 8am: dog is bothering me >:( 9am: woken up by a repeating noise? too sleepy to identify what it is. (sound was "dog barking") bigger dog wants to go outside and is barking. i am sleepy and let him out. i'll feed the dogs since im up. then i tumble back to bed. 10am: sleepily discussing plans about our multiplayer factorio game. my friend says "nuclear power!" i go back to sleep. zzz. the dog is back again. 11am: dad phone call. he is also being accosted by dog (the dog is sleeping on his chest). 12pm: okay time to actually start my day. eating leftovers. doing the dishes... scrub the water bottles or else!!! 1pm: cleaning my messy desk! i stand with my hands on my hips next to a messy desk. still 1pm: vacuuming my floor (dog fur on it). then got tired and laid down in bed again. stuff from my desk is on my bed. 2-6pm: lets play deadlock!!! the games were awful... our team got so gamer mad at us. i am sad mcginnis and my friend is sad rem. 6-8pm: watched rush hour (1998) with friends. what if i watched police story again... 8pm-12am: factorio!! replacing steel furnaces with electric furnaces. organizing conveyor belts. crashing my car into every tree & pipeline

oh nice, clip studio paint has photoshop-style smart objects / file references. (so you can link a .clip canvas inside of another .clip canvas and it automatically updates) its called "file object" btw. i dont use smart objects frequently, but on the rare occasions i did it was very handy

an 8 page comic about samson, who may or may not have something wrong with him (1/2) #TAGCEN

samson holding an ISC wrestling championship belt on his shoulder, leaning into it a bit with a fond smile while looking down at the camera. title text says "samson" in all caps

closeup of a wrestling championship belt that says "interstate champion" on it. narration boxes say: "that interstate championship... isn't it beautiful? all that gold is heavier than it looks. for singles competition, its the most prestigious title you can get on this side of the country. every pro wrestling promotion has their own world championship. theyre a dime a dozen. but theres only one isc title, and it isnt beholden to any one company... whoever holds this title, has control over its whole territory."

narration: "but nobody stays champion for very long." theres a series of drawings of vibrant orange shadowy silhouettes of various wide-eyed champions, the champion belt standing out. "they say the title is cursed, that it changes people... that its driven every champ mad with power and obsession..." at the bottom is samson looking to the camera and shrugging with a smile, the ISC belt on his shoulder. a speech bubble from him says: "not me, though! i was fine."

samson is kicking an opponent in the face in the middle of the ring. narration: "i defended the title for two long years, and i didn't need to be insane or evil to do it. (thats the record for longest isc title reign, by the way.) nothing changed about me."
a white silhouette of a disgruntled samson holding the championship surrounded by dark hatchmarks. "i wasn't even bothered when everyone turned their back on me."

printed out wip pages of my comic to make sure the size is okay. how much..... can I get done by my deadline (tuesday morning)...........

a photo of me holding up two comic pages (each the size of a quarter-folded piece of 8.5x11 paper). on the left is a trail of tormented shadows leading to samson shrugging, looking amused, with a wrestling belt on his shoulder. "nobody has been champion for very long. they say the title is cursed, that it changes people. that it's driven every champ mad with power and obsession." samson is saying "not me, though! I was fine.". the second comic page has him kicking someone in the face and talking about how he held the title for 2 years (the record) without being insane or evil. theres a white silhouette of him captioned "I wasn't even bothered when everyone turned their back on me"
