I love hanging out and drawing with friends because it produces absolutely unhinged things like this:

Garfield (the cat), but with a *ahem* well endowed human body. She's leaning on a table next to a plate of lasagna, making eye contact with the camera, and saying "The only thing I love more than lasagna is my T4T polycule!" She's wearing a collar and a particularly low cut tank top with some pins on it: a trans flag, a lesbian pride flag pin with a piece of lasagna in the middle of it and text that says "les / agna", a doodle of Hatsune Miku, and a pride flag made of colors picked from a photograph of lasagna.
