This is still one of my favorite artists. The concert I got to go to, though, was not exemplary of his best work. Happens to all of us. What anomaly have you experienced recently?

This particular one was a hit and run. They did eventually catch the guy. It's an eerie thing to hear in the saddle. What eerie thing have you heard recently?

My creative work never gets in the way of the walking, cooking, reading, and laughing. My other work I'll have to tell you about later, because I'm going into a meeting right now. What keeps you alive spiritually?

The person we told about the shallots cares about the customer. This is not a mom and pop store. This is a chain supermarket. This says good things about the management at this store. Why were the shallots so bad in the first place? What sudden, surprising improvement has come into your life?

She's right, in a way. The manga is a slow, slice-of-life portrait of a middle-aged writer who buys a boat and takes up fishing. It reminds me of my own work in some ways. What are you reading?

I spend time with my bad computer until it's time to relax with my good computer. Or sometimes until it's time to hold small screen while watching big big screen. What are you watching?

Wouldn't today be a great day to start living? i sure do. How can we do it though, with all the other things that need doing? Is there a way?

Peter Conrad Comics @peterconradcomics.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

There's something complicated about the relationship between the art and the world. Life imitates art? Maybe. Art imitates life? Sometimes. What's your take?

Disassembling and cleaning a technical pen is something I learned around the same time as sheetrocking and drafting, and for similar reasons. What secret skills do you have?

I do like bell peppers. But it's also true that some food that isn't good hides behind this "splash of color." What's hiding from you today?

I like when I hear Mel sing. She has a nice voice and she sounds good when she's happy. When I sing, she usually things I'm trying to yell something to her. What song is following you around today?

Peter Conrad Comics @peterconradcomics.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

With all the other things going on, it's nice to get caught off guard by beauty once in a while. Have you let yourself get enthralled recently?

Peter Conrad Comics @peterconradcomics.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Who would think two such unlikely characters would find something in common? There's a lesson here for all of us. And that lesson is: a drink with foam is fun! What lesson are you seeking today?

Peter Conrad Comics @peterconradcomics.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

This is just how my brain works. I don't literally think there's someone with that name. I just hear the wordplay in my head. What play are you in the middle of right now?

Peter Conrad Comics @peterconradcomics.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Am I sad? I must be sad, to be so cynical. This was a reminder that I need to ground myself. What reminder came to you today?

Peter Conrad Comics @peterconradcomics.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

How can my phone, which is with me all the time, not know that drawing me as a comic character is my job? Maybe my phone's AI isn't that intelligent. What job are you hanging on to?

If you see this, post your black and white art.

A drawing of a congested freeway. Caption: People either love Silicon Valley or they hate it. The opportunities—for some, but not for all—can be compelling. A speech balloon, pointing to one of the cars, says: "I'm pretty hopeful.

It's nice when adversity can bring people together. Too often, we keep our problems to ourselves. What's bothering you today?

I've noticed more and more people holding cups and mugs different ways. Seems like there are personal styles for even the simplest things. What's your style?

You might ask me why I'm using wired headphones. I don't have a good answer for you. What other questions do you have?

It sounded like the left front wheel bearing to me. The mechanic stethoscoped it and determined our intermediate shaft was bad, so we replaced that. The noise was still there! I took it back. Guess what? —The left front wheel bearing was bad, too. Vindication! What pyrrhic victory haunts you today?

These are the hazards of operating a motor vehicle. It makes us all into murderers of bugs—and if we're unlucky, other animals. What's today's accidental crime?

My skates were so old they crumbled into dust. That means I'm old! But not dust yet. What is time pushing on you today?

Peter Conrad Comics @peterconradcomics.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

There's a lesson to be learned here, but I don't know if it's "honor your commitments" or "eat the chocolates sooner." So maybe I haven't learned my lesson. What are you learning today?

Did you know that PSHAW is a word, but ASIAN isn't? What does that mean? What's your secret word for the day? Fixed image below.

Artichokes are kind of like comics. They're fibrous, delicious, take time to make, and sometimes the spikes poke you. What are you eating these days?

I decided on a new tactic to make it easier to stick with going to the gym. Instead of working on what I think I should, I'll do what I enjoy! But I haven't been in a while, so... What are you working on?

Peter Conrad Comics @peterconradcomics.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Hello! You've seen me online, now come check out my lovely goods! I've got at least three new things to show you. Come stop by my table on the lower level! www.sfzinefest.org for more info. See you there!

Somehow, there are different kinds of tired. Creativity is tiring. Following a plot is tiring. I always have energy to move my thumb. What are you tired of?

Middle of the day I'm pretty good! Morning and evening... What's your day like?

I'm bummed that the art store is closing. I like going to the art store. Another store opened recently that's closer to my house, but I liked this one too. What's changing in your neck of the woods?

Peter Conrad Comics @peterconradcomics.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

This is what happened behind the scenes of the previous comic. What would you show about your life to backstage pass holders?

I haven't seen the big guy for a few days now. I hope that means it wasn't worth the trouble to start a whole war. What turf dispute are you sleeping on?

001

Peter Conrad Comics @peterconradcomics.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

This happened at an airport. That's why we had to have our jackets even though it wasn't cold: we were traveling to a place that was cooler than our home turf. What's hot right now?

I don't know the difference between a five-star paperclip and a two-star paperclip. Maybe I'm a two-star paperclip—sometimes I feel I'm barely holding things together. What are you holding together?

This is not the only song I have—and I haven't even mentioned my Snack Dance. What's your song and dance routine?

The bananas have to know they can't win. But sometimes it feels like they're winning. What object is disrespecting you lately?

Last time I got betrayed like this, I'd waited hours for the ink to dry before erasing the pencil line. Hours. What's the treacherous thing in your life?

I like talking to Luna on the phone. I think they like talking to me too. There's always something to talk about. Who calls you?

Was it a raven? Was it a crow? What is the difference? Why don't I know? Anyway, it looked like it had taken something up there to eat. It was very thumpy. What unexpected acquaintance have you met recently?
