Caramelizing Onions
Caramelize the onions for 5 minutes it said. It was a lie. A deliciously smelling ridiculously long lie.

Getting furloughed is a bummer, but I can’t just sit around, do nothing, and hope for the best. I’m also an idiot who set this to post with no comic, that has been corrected.
I miss target, though I have realized 2 things in the time we’ve been apart. The first is I didn’t realize how often we went to target to just putz around when we were bored. I’ll be a target walker instead of a mall walker when I get old. The second thing I realized is that I spend too much money when I walk around target bored. It’s the perfect trap.
Settling into the work from home schedule leaves me needing some noise so I finally started King Falls AM. I remember finding it on while browsing some spooky thread around halloween. I like it quite a bit so far. I really liked the artwork and wanted to do a take on it while I was listening.
Today it rained. I don’t get any work done when it rains, instead I sit outside with my eyes and remember West Virginian campfire smoke. I’ll take any escape from the news.
I know today is supposed to be a tale of sails but today’s afternoon news is so over the top I couldn’t do anything else. This has to be one of those historic news kind of days. Jan 28, 1986 – Challenger explodes on lift off. Mar 11, 2020 Coronavirus explodes across the world. I should get the papers with these headlines in the morning, this feels like something to hang on to.This was only the stories that weren’t based on “says two sources”, good lord those are even worse.
Watching the news makes the Coronavirus feel like the tracking of a hurricane that’s slowly getting refined until the remaining paths range from pretty bad to “hold on to your butts” bad. You can’t talk about it without sounding crazy but watching the same pattern play out one after another how else should you react when you see your home city begin step two of the pattern.
“You guys think we should start working from home now to be safe since they’re probably going to announce it in 10 days anyway?”
“This is all being blown out of proportion, don’t fall for it”
I hope they are right, and I am wrong. If I am I will update this comic with a message that foil hats were the solution the whole time.
My passive aggressive way of making sure no one wants to stay long would use only artwork that would make people slightly irritated and uncomfortable. You can try to ignore it’s blasphemous existence but it’s lingering presence will inevitably suffocate you as it gazes back at your insignificance.
