A comic about reading 📚🪲
A black and white comic. First panel: A mother gives her kid a book, she says "Here, I heard this was good.", Second panel: Close up of the book. it's Kafka's The Metamorphosis. Several drawings of the kid reading the book and getting increasingly sucked into it: She says: "He turned into a BUG!?", "Why is is family so mean!?", "Wait could that happen to me?", in the last drawing she has tiny antenna and is reaching up towards her off page mom and says:"Mom...I think I'm a bug..." Her mom says "You're fine.". In the last drawing the kid is in bed, in the dark, looking stressed/full of dread, she's looking up at imaginary cockroaches with glowing haunting eyes, the caption reads "Later...Samsa's plight haunted me..."

Taking critical damage from the excellent Wanderstop demo 😌 Can't wait to play the full game 🍵
A screenshot of the Wanderstop demo, it depicts a character sitting on a bench looking at an off-screen protagonist on the left. A text overlay at the bottom reads: "Haha yes, what a surprise that a person pushing themselves to the brink of exhaustion would collapse!"

I hear the siren call of Baldur's Gate, yet again.
A BW sketch / comic of me laying down on my back with an angel floating by my feet. I say: Should I do a third Baldur's Gate 3 run or should I try Deus Ex... -- my angel self says: " What about finishing the games you started?*" A smaller panel depicts my angel self getting smacked by a fly swatter, as I say NO. At the bottom of the comic i write out the games my angel was talking about: * Divinity: original Sin 2, Fallout New Vegas, The Outer Wilds.

#hourlycomicsday
4 panel comic depicting my day. First panel 12PM: I'm looking at my phone and thinking: "I'm on my phone too much, i could be knitting or learning something or reading a book or working on my game". Second panel: 12:45PM I'm installing an app, I'm thinking "It's healthy to gameify my screentime, right?" Another bubble reads "App blocker installed". Third Panel: 1PM I'm staring into space, my fingers are steepled, I look smug and I think "Sweet productivity 's gonna hit any second now." Last panel 6PM "productivity did not hit" I'm laying on the floor on my face, my phone is next too me and says "Fool!"

Got a new fountain pen and splurged on some nice ink — a bandaid to keep me from thinking about the fires, the air quality or anything else.
A closed notebook with cats on the cover, a burgundy fountain pen rests next to it The notebook is now opened, gridded paper, the text reads Kaweco Sport with Sailor Shikiory in Rikyucha. The pen rests on the page.

In my Orville Peck Pony era
Sketchy comic panel of a person walking. Sounds from the city are overtaking the panel (pin pon! Vroom! Beep beep! Crash!) music is playing from their headphones. The top text reads: “I’m like six years late but I started listening to Orville Peck while taking my “health” walks and —“ Sketchy / drawing comic panel of the person now turned into a cowboy mouse, playing a guitar atop a horse through a desert landscape. The top text reads: it makes me feel like this.
