Sometimes when #KidLitArtPostcard time rolls around I've been too busy to plan something out, so I sketch up a scene from the park across from our apartment. It's fun to try something new!

New comic. The apples are falling close to the tree, but still try to roll away.

The roasting doesn't stop. But to explain, I often pack dumplings and onigiri in the kids' lunches. And give them chopsticks to eat with.

Knock, knock, #kidlitartpostcard.

Here's a few frames from a #kidlit #graphicnovel pitch I'm working on.

5 frames of a comic of a young bear knocking on the door of her grandfather bear's house. He greets her with a hug. The word bubbles are empty.

Now that the younger kid is finished Grade 7 and left elementary school, I don’t think I’ll be in any more class-wide parent group chats. Whew. I will, however, still get roasted by my family.

Ever since I saw Rushmore, I realized I could keep friends by starting clubs with people I like so we can meet up regularly for 'meetings.' #webcomic #whinywhinypancakes #lonelinessepidemic
Four panel comic: Title: Wherever you get your... Words: I listen to a lot of podcasts hosted by middle-aged white men. 1. Woman speaking "This is like the fourth podcast to talk about the 'loneliness epidemic.' This would be good to discuss at drawing club, or critique club, or at the society of pals, or talking club. I wonder if fundraising committee would care. 2. Woman leaves says, "I'm going to meet some people. Bye." 3. Man sits at a computer with a word bubble saying ". . ." 4. Wide shot of a sky with clouds, the word bubble floats away like an escaped balloon.

The kids are changing their hairstyles. And they might be on to me.

A four panel comic where a child has been reading her mom's doppelganger comics and doesn't like that she's pretending to be a doppelganger. The mom suggests they read a puberty book instead and the child leaves.

Whether the "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign stole the music is up for debate, but I found today that the font they used throughout was a pirated clone (XBAND Rough) of a real font (FF Confidential).

By using FontForge on a PDF from the website for the campaign (web.archive.org/web/20051223...); I can confirm that they are indeed using the illegal clone version of the font, rather than the licensed one!
A screenshot of FontForge opening a PDF brochure from the "Piracy is a Crime" campaign, showing that it is using the font XBAND Rough, an unlicensed clone of the font FF Confidential.

I’m entering my doppelgänger era. #webcomic
Webcomic, semi-autobiographical, where my kids say I smell weird when I get off a plane and then accuse me of being a doppelgänger.
