As a kid, I desperately wanted a dog so I would draw and write comics about a girl and her dog. When I was in high school, I would draw and write comics about my friends and the boys I had crushes on. After high school, I stopped making comics for a long time. I can't put my finger on why exactly, but I lost focus on a lot of things I loved in my late teens.

In 2019, a local bar/arcade hosted a comic competition for Halloween. I entered and was awarded "most horrifying" for a comic about a dentist pulling out an unwilling patient's teeth before putting them in his own mouth. Pretty gross, right?

Drawing my first comic in years was the spark that reignited my love for the art form. From there, I started drawing punny Pokémon-themed comics and then eventually comics about my daily life. After weeks of drawing a character that looked a lot like myself, I came up with my green-haired space bun design and the rest is kind of history.

My best ideas always come to me right as I'm drifting off to sleep—I think the human brain is at peak absurdist when between awake and asleep (and a little tipsy).

    Ah I love it when someone in the group cares about what I'm saying, I'm a polite person so I don't talk over others but people do that to me a lot.

    I can really relate to this. I am a Bi guy, always have been, always will be. It really irritates me when people assume my sexuality changes just because the gender of my partner does. the gender of my partner does not define my sexuality.

    I don't think I've ever seen asexuality mentioned in a comic before. Being Ace myself it feels pretty good to see it mentioned.

    I mean, personally I maintain my labels even though I'm in a het marriage... Because occasionally my family gets reaaaalllly anti gay. So I 'label" myself bi/queer as a little reminder to my younger family that it is an option,... Even though I am happily married "conventionally". Before we had labels we just had "backwards billies" and "lonely girls' and.. yeah I think that was probably worse

    Asexual is where you don’t experience sexual attraction. Aromantic is no romantic attraction.

    So...bi or pan? Either way, she’s valid and amazing! ❤️ (And so is the rest of the LGBTQ+ community)

    the fact that they just assume what she is because of who she hangs out with is lowkey pretty sad

    Asexual is where you don’t feel sexual attraction, Aromantic would be no romantic partner

    Bras are just masks for breasts. But not masking your breasts doesn't risk anyone's health. Wear a mask, ditch the bra.

    I was across someone's table and that person hit me in the head when he tried to grab it with chopsticks. He squeezed it too hard and it let go and hit me...

    I had a co-worker whose mom claimed she had no idea she was pregnant until he was born. He was her fifth child or so, so I guess the common pregnancy symptoms aren‘t as severe as they are with your first one, but... how?
