Inside the breakroom of a home decor and furniture store, an employee named Katie brings over a wrapped sandwich and a can of soda to her co-worker Valerie, who is navigating a tablet with one hand, and writing something on a piece of paper with the other. Against the wall behind her is a bulletin board. Attached are a pamphlet that reads: "Union dues or a new phone. You choose!", a card, a document titled "Leave Policy, Updated 11/2025", and note that reads "Stop leaving food in the fridge!!! especially you, Mikey!!" signed by "Val". Katie says to her with a neutral expression: "Hey Val, I got you your turkey and provolone." The sandwich and soda can are placed on the table as Katie leans in, points towards Valerie's tablet screen and asks curiously: "Yo, is that your math homework? What's with all of those weird symbols?" Valerie puts down her pencil and opens the soda can with one hand as she responds: "It's calculus. You didn't learn it in school?" Valerie is now holding the soda can in her hand. Katie walks away with a smug expression, and says dismissively "Pshhh, hell if I remember! You're lucky I didn't forget to show up today!"

Oh, neomorphism. My favorite.

And no, this is not skeumorphism. It's minimalism with gradients tacked on. Otherwise it would be an actual photo of a butterfly.

Yep, I know how to draw hands. And also remember what outfits my characters are wearing throughout a story arc, yep.

A woman named Katie walks past the entrance to a deli with a full plastic bag in one arm, with both of her hands in the pockets of her hoodie. Katie looks down and notices a turkey walking past her to her right. A bunch of turkeys start passing her, with one of them bumping her leg. Startled, she recoils and shouts: "Hey!" Waving one arm to shoo away the turkeys, she yells: "Do you all mind?? *Scram* before you become someone's next Thanksgiving leftovers!" The turkeys stop and look in all different directions with confused expressions.

Nope... and nope.

As for the "why not", that's for later...
A woman named Katie and one of her co-workers are standing at a table at a bar. Katie is leaning on the table with her head resting in her right hand. On the table are both of their drinks. Katie's is a can of cola. The co-worker has a martini. She asks "Katie, I still don't get how you've gone so long without finding someone and tying the knot. What's the hold up, anyway?"

A screenshot of the Infinite Painter drawing app, open to a sketch of a woman named Katie. She is attempting to walk along a sidewalk while holding a plastic bag as a bunch of turkeys pass her by. The turkeys are drawn as hand turkeys. Attempting to shoo them out of the way, Katie says: "Do you all mind?? *Scram* before you become someone's next Thanksgiving leftovers!"

A woman named Katie stands a deli counter as the clerk reads out her order: "Alright, we got one ham and mayo, one pastrami and brown mustard, one BLT on a roll, one bacon'egg'n'cheese on an everything bagel, one roast beef and yellow mustard, and one turkey, provolone and mayo." All six sandwiches are wrapped and stacked vertically. Next to the sandwiches are a soda bottle, two soda cans, and an energy drink can. Scene focuses on the clerk who looks in Katie's direction and asks: "So, which one'a these is yours?" Scene focuses on Katie as she responds with a proud expression: "If it were up to me, all of them." Scene focuses back on both of them. Katie chuckles to herself as the clerk responds, unamused: "*Sigh* That's what I get for asking, I guess."

After a year and a half of drawing with either a plastic stylus or my index finger, I finally bought a real tablet with a real stylus.

The sluggishness and the horrible color accuracy of my old one were getting to me. The stylus started as a bonus, but became a necessity basically immediately.

A retail employee named Katie struggles to carry three boxes: one for a slow cooker, one for a set of bowls, and another smaller box. The two smaller boxes sit atop the larger box. The customer for the three boxes trails behind her, talking on his phone with an absent expression: "Hello? Yeah, I got someone to bring 'em to the car. Huh? No, it's okay, you don't have to park closer. We're gonna bring 'em to you. Just pop open the trunk." Scene cuts to Katie and her manager who appears from the left side of the view. Pointing behind him, the manager says: "Hey Katie, you're needed at register six." Scene cuts back to Katie and the customer. Katie responds: "Fine by me!" as she enthusiastically shoves the slow cooker box into the customer's hands, startling him and causing him to drop his phone. The two boxes atop the larger box rattle with an audible "CLANK". Scene cuts back to Katie and the manager, with the customer still slightly in view struggling to balance the boxes in his hands. The manager, holding cash in his left hand to give it to Katie, says: "*After* you grab us lunch. It's your turn this week."

A retail employee named Katie carries a box inside of a store. To her left, she notices an old lady standing outside of the store with her left hand on the glass, and her right hand knocking on the glass to get Katie's attention. The lady asks: "Excuse me, are you open yet?" Scene cuts to the opposite angle showing Katie looking back in the lady's direction. Surprised, Katie responds: "Huh- weren't you *just* here last night?" Scene cuts back to the previous angle. Katie continues: "It's Sunday morning! Don't you got, like, family or something?" Annoyed, the lady responds: "Yes! That's why I'm here!"

One sorry-not-sorry benefit to working on an ongoing joke is the rare opportunity to reuse your own drawings specifically for the bit.

A retail employee named Katie wheels a shopping cart full of boxes inside of a store. To her left, she notices an old lady standing outside of the store in the dark with her left hand on the glass, and her right hand pointing up to get Katie's attention. The lady asks: "Excuse me, are you still open"? Scene cuts to the opposite angle showing Katie looking back in the lady's direciton. Katie responds, exasperated: "Ma'am, we're a furniture store. It's 10 o'clock at night on a Saturday". Scene cuts back to just the lady, standing in place with both hands on the glass. She says nothing, just blinks. Scene cuts back to Katie, hunched slightly forward. With a tired expression, she says: "Go home."

A woman named Katie runs after a bus driving past a bus stop. She is holding a work apron in her right hand, and is smacking the side of the bus with the palm of her other hand. She yells: "Wait, you stupid bus! Wait!!" Scene cuts to a traffic light as it turns red. Scene cuts back to the bus now idling with an audible "RRRRR". Out of view, Katie tries to catch her breath. The bus opens its doors with a loud "KSHHH". Katie walks into view towards the open doors and says in-between breaths with a proud expression: "Ha! Couldn't ditch me *that* easily, huh?"

You can have me take public transit for much of my life, but you can't have me draw a bus from memory.

(Use references, people!)

The bus is drawn as a couple of shapes with a misplaced side mirror. A second screenshot of the same sketch, except the bus has additional detail, and the side mirror is in a more accurate location.

Because I forgot to post it yesterday: timelapse for panel #5!

This was a fun case of me forgetting that Infinite Painter was recording the whole time, so I figured I might as well capture it.

("2x speed" means the recorded timelapse speed was doubled.)

Caption: "Earlier..." Scene cuts to Katie silently looking at her reflection in her bathroom mirror while leaning forward with a disgruntled expression. The tips of her otherwise light brown hair are colored a bright orange. In the middle of her hair are three gray strands. She is wearing a T-shirt, the visible part of which reads "Dubstep Tour 2014". View zooms in on the reflection of Katie's face to just above her nose. Squinting her eyes, she says to herself in a low tone: "Gray..."

Two friends, a woman named Katie and a man named Bobby are at a house party. Each are holding an energy drink and a bottle of beer respectively. Tilting her head and pointing at the back of Bobby's neck, Katie asks: "Yo, did you... dye your hair?" Bobby, startled, turns his head and responds: "*H-Huh?* I don't- what're you-?" Katie leans to one side, places her hand on her hip, and continues with a smug expression: "Dude, you know no one cares that you got gray hair, right?" Bobby is unamused. From the right-hand side, their friend Jasmine leans in while holding a glass of wine in her hand, and says "*She's right, y'know!*" Bobby points towards Katie's hair with the hand holding his beer and responds: "You mean like how no one cares that your hair isn't actually neon orange?" Jasmine places her other hand on the side of her face and cheers: "*Ooooh!*" Katie leans forward towards Bobby and says, defensively: "Hey, orange is my favorite color, alright? I dye my hair for myself!" Bobby tenses up.

A cat (shown from a three-quarters angle) sits in place, looking straight ahead with an inquisitive expression while swinging its tail. A woman named Jasmine says out-of-view: "Don't give me that look." View cuts to Jasmine, who is kneeling on the floor with her arms crossed. Looking back at the cat, she continues: "Alex may be a big mush, but it's gonna take more than a wide-eyed stare to get extra food outta me." View cuts to a profile view of both Jasmine and the cat. The cat lifts itself up and brings its right paw to Jasmine's face. With a light "BOP", the cat presses its paw down on Jasmine's nose, startling her and tilting her head forward.

A man named Bobby sits at his desk at work with his keyboard and trackball mouse in front of him. His supervisor Corey, wearing a puffy jacket-vest, stands behind Bobby and jokingly smacks him on the back of the neck, startling him. Corey says with a happy expression: "Heh-heyyy, Baxter! Thanks for coming in to fix the new guy's screw-up!" View focuses on Bobby. Annoyed, he turns to Corey and says: "You know, sir... this could've been avoided if we had proper onboarding and training for new developers." View focuses back on Corey and Bobby. Corey walks away, rolling his eyes and says dismissively: "Thaaat sounds like a whole lotta 'not in the budget'. Be glad we even hired someone at all." Bobby glares at him silently. Only Bobby is left in view. He turns back to his work, typing loudly and says under his breath: "Bet your dumb jacket cost more than the training..."
