One of my favorite pages from 🚂The Case of the Mummy Express🚂

jdrozd.com/comic/the-ca...

#KidLit #DoctorBaer #YearoftheHorse
A comics page. Anthropomorphic cats talk with a teddy bear standing in the window of a speeding train. The bear uses his magic staff to launch himself out the window and onto the back of a barbarian horse. Panel 1: Bear - No doubt he intends to use the mummies for some mischief. We must make our way back to the engine! I will find a way to counteract his staff before we get there. Panel 2: Bear (off panel) - Good luck, my friends, and keep the Transit Doll Safe! Panel 3: Bear - Orange? Orange Wisp in magic staff - Away we go! Panel 4: Bear - Now, Wilhelmina--! Let's see if we can't shake a lamprey off of our train! Horse - Oh, let's!

The itty bitty (1.5" or 3.8cm) porcelain Transit Dolls test batch came out pretty cute! I'll add some of them to the Etsy shop soon.

Tiny porcelain cat figurines. They look like ceremonial objects from a lost civilization. Tiny porcelain cat figurines. They look like ceremonial objects from a lost civilization. A gray tabby walks on the table behind them.

More Cap'n Lao means more sailor idiomatic expressions. It's a new page of 🚂The Case of the Mummy Express🚂. Read the whole webcomic here: jdrozd.com/comic/the-ca...

#KidLit #DoctorBaer #Cats
A comic page. Two anthropomorphic cats and a little teddy bear stand at the end of a train's passenger car. Mummy cats sit peacefully in the seats. The bear answers a call from outside the train then climbs up to open the window.

If Vince Guaraldi had known the actual A Charlie Brown Christmas assignment: "Compose iconic score that people will love forever," he could have been intimidated. Instead, "Write music for weird show CBS might not even air" probably freed him up to do his best work.

Taft is unimpressed. 🚂The Case of the Mummy Express🚂 page 26 is up! jdrozd.com/comic/the-ca...

A comics page where anthropomorphic animal heroes and villains fight. A biker gang consisting of a two-headed snake man and a giant thug cat fight a heroic pig, horse, and tortoise. The cat is knocked off of her bike by the horse. The two-headed snake man disengages from battling the pig and tortoise to help the cat.

I made this desktop image to celebrate making it through 2017. I feel like I need to make an even fiercer one to celebrate making it through 2025. 🫂

Context for my anger with that last post: we have a gubernatorial election coming up in Ohio, and one of the candidates, when asked how they will work to end child hunger, responded with, essentially, "we need to make schools accountable."
