She grew up.

Chapter:
Characters: ,

It’s hard to draw anymore, working from home has left me burnt out and hating my computer. In the off chance I get off early enough, and my computer isn’t tied up rendering late into the night, I’d rather spend what little time I have of away from this screen.

Dilly had her first day of school on monday. Looking around at all the other parents was the first time I’ve ever felt like an adult.

I work too much and need to stop. I’ve already missed too much, I’m sorry dilly.

Stubbs

Chapter:
Characters: , ,

My son is old enough now that I feel guilty not having him in any of these. The original idea started before he was even a thought in our future but it’s time to add Stubbs in. Works getting slow again so I was actually able to do this before the sun went down. It’s a nice and yet concerning thing to have a free evening.

I’m behind on spooky comics.

I’m working on a wrap for a friend’s old tv and I’m stuck on a portion. I tried to get it done before going back to comics but it’s taking too long. I need to get that thing done so I can finish a tale of sails. Both projects are just lingering and gnawing at my motivation to do anything else, and now extra work is starting to creep back in. I liked having a week with no second job.

I’m late

Chapter:
Characters:

My wife has succumbed to the to the spooky season early for once. Dilly and I are ready on July 5th so we normally compromise with decorations starting September 1st. This year however a new piece comes out from the closet every weekend. It’s time for scary ask reddit threads and horror movies. Tomorrow will be “In the Mouth of Madness”, it straddles the line between summer and fall movies for me.

Lazy ham and potato soup

Chapter:
Characters: ,

Here is where I post a four page monologue on my soup discovery interspersed with ads rather not unlike a rather prolific nose. This is interrupted abruptly with a subtle and quite completely unavoidable warning that you must join to see the ingredients. With deep regret you choose to accept the lopsided agreement and are finally shown the three step recipe; of which the commentators leave such remarks as “added 4 cups of salt, this recipe is way to salty, 0 stars.” and “I burned my house down because I fell asleep it smelled so delicious!!!  3 stars” while nonetheless not following the directions.

The recipe is up there, just look at the picture.

Green Eggs and Ham

Chapter:
Characters: ,

As a kid I don’t remember the Dr. Suess books to be all that long. Reading them now to Dilly at night I realized they are entirely as long as the Wheel of Time. Now Dilly just asks if I like green eggs and ham on things all day. She does not however do it in any order pertaining to the book, she just turns her sails to whatever catches her gales of laughter the best.

Heatwave.

The next several days are going to be over 90. I don’t want to run the air in our poorly insulated apartment so this is gonna suuuck. Luckily we have a pretty sweet pool for the porch. It’s not even as good as the one drawn, it’s just a large storage container from under the bed. Between the tupperware pool and DIY swamp cooler in the living room our family’s West Virginian genes save the day. Squeak would be proud.

Seafood?

Chapter:
Characters: ,

I was just about to start telling Dilly not to show her food when she eats when I remembered I was the one that taught her. At that point I kinda just laughed and told her not to do it in public for now. Stupid past me always causing current me problems.

Uncle T didn’t have o return the favor.

I rocked you.

Chapter:
Characters: ,

I keep a notebook with the last times I rocked Dilly to sleep or she wants held. Even if she is just fighting to stay awake I will rock her if she asks. My favorite note so far is “11/23 You held my left thumb in my hand as you fell asleep.”
