A screenshot of a working panel of Helena. Helena is sitting on a crammed bench in a bus shelter. The big guy next to her's drinking from a can and pointing to something offpanel.

Too early, Helena 155.
1: It’s still dark out, but Helena is slouching in the tv chair, watching tv. Her dad is getting ready for work, standing in the kitchen doorway. „Already up?“ 2: Helena hasn’t moved, but it’s less dark. Cécile is getting ready for work, sarcastically stating from the kitchen doorway „Gotta get your fix, huh?“ 3: Helena still hasn’t moved, the room it’s bright out. Her dog King is standing in the kitchen doorway. „You didn’t wake early just to watch television, did you?“ 4: Her mom’s standing in the doorway, having come in from a rainy walk. Helena answers „No, no. I woke up and couldn’t fall back asleep.“ 5: Mom’s walking into kitchen. „Stay put, I’m making you pancakes.“ … „Sleep is important, you know. I can’t have you falling asleep at school.“ 6: A loud snoring!! Mom is turning back. 7: Helena, alert and awake, is turning the tv off. Helena says „No thanks, I already made some muesli“. Mom says „I could’ve sworn…“ 8: Helena is lying back in the chair, happily pointing to King who’s fast asleep on the sofa. „We can’t all be morning people“.

Lunar, Helena 154.
1: A sad Helena is sitting up in her bed in the middle of the night. She speaks toward the window „Do you ever get lonely up there?“ 2: A full moon, with a superhappy face. „Haha, me? There’s a lot of us, you know!““ 3: Diagram of lunar phases, all with the same superhappy face. The full moon is marked as ‚me‘. „And we all take turns! And have a big party!“ 4: A sad Helena draws the curtain on the full moon with the supperhappy face.

Spacious, Helena 153.
1: Helena is tucked in bed at night, looking at the ceiling. „Do you ever miss space?“ Someone answers „Oh no“. 2: We see the ceiling made up of little stars. „Sure, we were key for creation of all life in the universe.“ „And helped humanity navigate Earth“. 3: One star looks smug: „But we’re much more happy here, weakly lighting up some kid’s bedroom“ The others stiffle their laugh. 4: Helena pulls the blanket over her head. The stars laugh, Helena answers „I know you’re stickers.“

MERCI, for Polymanga 2026.
Illustration of a student wearing headphones sitting on a park bench during break. She holds out a hand filled with peanuts to feed happy crows. The student is surprised as a barrage of coins and bottle caps are falling from the sky as other crows circle her gratefully.

Coat, Helena 152.
1: Helena’s mom is taking something out of Helena’s closet. „You can’t go to school without your coat anymore.“ „Couldn’t I bring one of Cécile’s?“ 2: Helena’s mom is helping her put on her puffy coat. Helena pleads „I look so round in mine“. 3: Helena is standing there defeated, completely round. „Nonsense. You don’t look round at all.“ 4: With a smile, Helena’s mom puts a bobble hat on Helena to complete the picture.

Happy new year.
A man sits down on the bus with his dog. He says to his dog: „Expensive dog, huh?“ The dog cowers and starts whining. The man starts petting the dog and yells „Expensive dog!“

Sunset, Helena 151.
1: Helena is walking home towards a sunset. She looks back and comments „These short days make for great shadows.“ 2: Helena is making a pose, and her long shadow projects on the road. 3: As Helena is reaching up, her shadow stretches even longer. „The longer you take, the longer they get!“ 4: Helena’s happily posing in the dark, illuminated by a waiting car.

New year‘s resolution is more lines, less lasso tool (😢).

Wavering, Helena 150.
Four panel comic strip. 1: Helena is sitting on a wall during recess. It’s cloudy and the trees have no foliage left. „It’s been a while since I’ve had this feeling.“ 2: She’s fidgeting around with her sweater. „It goes away, it always does. Still …“ 3: Standing up, her face is getting red. She zips up the sweater. „Maybe it’s to do with the season.“ 4: With her hands hidden in her sleeves, she walks like she’s frozen stiff. „Tomorrow, I will bring a jacket.“

BTW all lines and colors are "painted" with no anti aliasing and 100% opacity. Hard pixels only. This allows me to safely recolor anything I want with the paintbucket and I can overpaint the designs again and again without making a mess. The resolution is just high enough to hide that fact.

It's over! Happy Holidays! 🔔🎄Helena will finally be back January 5th. Thank you <3.
Illustrated christmas card that says Merry Christmas. Helena is kneeling in a grey meadow with only small bits of snow. She's built a pathetic little snowman with an umbrella.
