Here's my strip for the @peanutscollab.bsky.social redraw project! Happy 75th anniversary, Charlie Brown! This is the strip that originally ran on February 15th 1991 - my birthday! Shouts out to @waggtoon.bsky.social for putting this together! I had a blast with the lettering.

I just want everyone to know that I shoveled snow in-between sessions drawing this one.
Unbound 426 - Leaf bundled up warm speaking on his cell phone, "Galley, I can't come in to work today." Panel 2: Galley, "Well, I'm going to have to write you up, Leaf. I was able to make it in!" Panel #3: Leaf, "How?" The camera pans back in the last panel to reveal a wide shot of the library. Leaf stands outside the building which is covered in an avalanche of snow. #Comics #Libraries #Snow #Reading #Books

The wind here is so bad, it sounds like the house is taking cannon fire.

I would also like to know the secret.
Unbound 217 - Panel #1: Galley speaking to Leaf behind the library counter, "I just finished a book about people who disappear and are never found again." Panel #2: Leaf, "That sounds terrible!" Galley, "I know!" Panel #3: Galley is walking outside. Massive snowflakes and freezing wind buffet her face. She thinks to herself, "I wish I knew how they did it..." #comics #libraries #books #reading #snow #cold

Unless your reason for staying is directly tied to your livelihood (e.g. you are directly making money there and need it to eat) then it is all vanity and there's no excuse at this point not to get out. You don't need it. You're just foolishly and directly supporting a hostile platform.

People like to joke about going back to Twitter after a few days of leaving but like, there’s only so many BS changes they can make before even the most stubborn users are just completely fed up

And adding a literal “make this image whatever I want” button is definitely the biggest push so far

Things are tough right now. Make sure you tip Santa a little extra this year. #comics
Unbound 218 - Panel #1: Galley, "Do you have the milk and cookies for Santa?" Leaf, "Sure do, Galley!" Leaf holds up a plate of cookies and a glass of milk in his hands. Panel #2: A massive Christmas tree is seen glowing brightly in the middle of the library. Leaf and Galley both look up at it. Panel #3: Leaf, "And sunglasses." Now wearing a cool pair of shades. Galley, "Good call."

-Alt text is your friend; the more descriptive it is, the more likely you can have your art show up when people are searching; you can also put hashtags in your alt text and it will still show up, even if it’s not clickable

-Art feeds are also friends; they’ll often have a specific hashtag in use

The website that stores the metadata for Windows Media Player is inexplicably down! Microsoft has released no statement and won't officially acknowledge it. Of course, just as I start collecting CDs again.

I don't think I decorate the same way as most people.
Unbound 215 - Panel #1: A shot of the public library from the outside. Galley is heard speaking, "Leaf, it's time for the Christmas decorations." Panel #2: Oh boy! I'll get them, Galley! Panel #3: Galley, "What is that?" Leaf now holding a stack of books, "A Christmas Carol, The Gift of the Magi, The Night Before Christmas, The Grinch, The Snowman, The Polar Express..." Panel #4: Leaf pointing behind him, "Oh and uh... I set the tree down there."
