My latest for the Globe and Mail. Love the PWHL, hate that the PWHL is sponsored by Novo Nordisk
Two people at a hockey game. A giant ad for Barbie says ‘YOU CAN BE ANYTHING’ One of them says ‘this is such great messaging for young girls!’ The ad changes to one for Wegovy, a weight loss drug. The same woman says ‘oh! So much for ‘you can be anything.’”

Three panel cartoon. Two people are biking down a street in Montreal among the car traffic. One says “do you know who you’re voting for in the mayoral election?” The other says “I don’t really care about municipal politics. Anyways, it’s so annoying that this part of Montreal has so few bike lanes”

four panel comic. Two dinosaurs wonder what future generations of dinosaurs will look like, saying they’ll probably have huge teeth and longer arms and laser eyes. Cut to the humble pigeon millions of heats later. She looks down at her egg surrounded by two twigs and a cigarette butt and says “yeah. That’s a perfect nest for sure”

recent conversation
Cartoon. Woman texts friend asking why the bottom of her tomato plant has yellowed. Friend answers that, as plants grow, they sometimes need to focus their energy on new growth and fruit. Woman snips off the yellow leaves to help the plant keep growing

just saw a novel get described as being “set in Sally Rooney’s Ireland.” and I know what they mean, but it does make it sound like Ireland is a place Sally Rooney rules over with an iron fist
Three panel comic. Paul mescal is speaking and uses quotation marks in his speech bubble. Then he says “ah, I forgot, we can’t use quotation marks here. Not in sally Rooney’s Ireland”

horse
Black and white cartoon of god designing the horse and saying “12-year-olds will be obsessed with them. And they will have logic-defying proportions. And they will be impossible to draw. And the 12-year-olds will grow frustrated."
