it's messy but we're just getting it onto the page so
What Can I Say (2/?)
In a less neat panel than the previous, someone exits the bathroom, taking a step forward, door held open with one hand. They have glasses with no pupils and short and wavy hair with cowlicks in the back, and are in a button up shirt and slacks. A thought bubble above them says "I'm trying to figure it out." and the date, 10/2, is written outside the lower right corner of the panel.

What Can I Say (1/?)
A panel with a barebones drawing of a closed bathroom door with a gender neutral sign to the left of it. The title "What Can I Say?" are above and below the door, and the date 10/1 is scrawled below the panel.

i have to run all over the city after work today for various errands, and i told myself multiple times "Dont forget to bring a pair of shorts to change into after work! It's gonna feel like 98-101 degrees by then, Do Not Forget!"
Guess who sat in his office chair and realized he forgot.
Jan Metjeko's painting "Stańczyk during a ball at the court of Queen Bona in the face of the loss of Smolensk", which features a man in a silly bright red jester's outfit sitting slouched in a chair, looking hopeless and grimly depressed, separated from the lively party happening in the background by a curtain just behind him. The painting has white plain text over it, next to Stańczyk the Jester, reading "I'm Boo Boo the Fool".

right under the wire, a thing that happened that ive wanted to make a comic of for two years now, but was too shackled by perfectionism to draw.
Now we're just getting it out 🙏 Happy #Makeaterriblecomicday2025
a stoplight is green, we see a car turning down a street from a birds eye view, something further down that street is approaching, from the backseat of the car we see driver and passenger looking at a kid on a bike, the kid, in shorts and a backwards baseball cap, does a cool and casual two finger salute we see inside the car through the windshield window, the passenger is a trans guy with glasses, a wispy mustache, and a curly mullet. he looks forward at the kid, and then to the driver, as she, a woman with short tussled hair and sunglasses, responds in kind with a chill two finger salute of her own

Riley is a white guy with short brown hair wearing a 3M Aura mask. He is holding a small zine that says "What's in a Name" in a gothic script, with the transgender symbol beneath it.

another protester self-immolated outside the "israeli" consulate in Boston on wednesday in protest of the ongoing genocide in Gaza. No news on his status, just that he was taken to a hospital with severe burns.
here's his message, transcribed by BDS Boston from the video he posted

made a terrible comic about a terrible thing, but i made it 👍
"Terrible Comic 2024", a shakily draws comic featuring the following words "Ever since my tremors got bad, I've been afraid to draw. What if I'm not an artist. Was I ever an artist? Do I have to give this up? Like so many loves before it? The only way out is through."

Yosemite Valley, full of green trees and large cliffs, under a pure blue sky The cliffs of Yosemite, they are grey and expansive, freckled with trees. There are two waterfalls if you look closely

a finger holds down the page of a sketchbook. the page says "6. draw your best friend" there is a crossed out drawing and a caricature of a woman's head. A drawing of an old mac computer, with the monitor sitting on the sideways tower, and a keyboard.

a lemur standing on his hind legs doing a sort of disco slide a lemur sitting in the grass like a person in a lazy boy seat two lemurs, an adult and a baby holding onto the adult's back, stare towards the camera with piercing red-ish brown eyes.
