Happy Friday, have some Dailies! (Patreon)

Happy Lunar Eclipse Day to y'all! I had no idea the ePIPse comic from last week was so timely.

Luke and I went to see one of my favorite bands last week, and I was surprised to catch this recurrence...

They were really cute! My boots are cute, too, but in a very different, well-seasoned kind of way. Here's the original if it resonates with ya (remember the 50% off coupon at the bottom of this post!).

Our friend Erica came to town with her dog Zelda and her parents' two dogs, one of which I carried (I guess I like chihuahuas now).

Let's see how long the tale of this tail lasts. Here's the original! (I remembered to wash the gloves.)

I'm not sure how many people remember Erica, but she's the friend with cancer we raised money for a few years ago. I'm happy to report that she's doing very well, found a concoction to ease her chronic discomfort (RSO), and moved to a state that allows her easier access to it. She's been knocking off bucket list items left and right while she's feeling at her best. I'm really glad we got to see her!

Speaking of good friends, I visited Josie the other day, but it was more of a goodbye visit than a "tell me about all things trans" visit. She's moving to Europe because she doesn't feel safe here. In case you wondered how serious things have gotten in our "free" country. 🫠

Here's something more uplifting than the state of our union:

Needless to say, it's been rewarding watching her change into herself, too. Long-term friends who've known you since your cloudiest, most insecure days are the best kinds of friends. (I'm going to give this original to her.)

Here's a caricature tale I've told a lot of people throughout the years, so forgive me if you've heard it!

I would've never made it as an art teacher. Kids throw me completely off my game.

In case you know a middle school teacher or the parent of a tween boy who needs this, here's the original!

My birthday is coming up, and I asked my parents to give me the gift of their cleanliness, which is a trait I did not inherit...

I was once a broke photography major & figure artist, you see. Idk who relates to this one, but here's the original!

Here's one more classic caricature tale for ya! It's a two-pager, hence the lateness of today's post!

Caricature is a dangerous business, y'all.

I'm selling both pages here!

Now I'm off to teach Girl Scouts how to draw cartoon faces for the weekend. If you know any 6th-12th grade Scouts in the Nation's Capital council (western MD, eastern WV, DC and some VA), they can take cartooning lessons from me every spring around this time at an event called Chill Out! Tell 'em to have their troop leader look into it. :)

Hope your weekend is full of some youthful spirit, be it kids dancing around like idiots, kids laughing their heads off about bananas, or kids who wanna be -whispers- b-b-basketball players.
