Hello and happy Friday to ya! Here's where my head was last week:

I'm a bit less stressed this week! Here's the original for sale if you relate to this and want it! (Scroll down for your 50% off code!)

I'm happy to report that 1) Ollie's paws are still intact and ADORABLE:

and b) 95% of my garden is gonna make it (probably)!

I've already put together two bouquets (one for Luke, one for my neighbor Cathy):

If you're local and you want some dinosaur kale, uhhhh I have PLENTYSAURUS, hmu!!

Have I ever drawn Luke on the toilet? Sorry not sorry:

I was kinda proud of him for this one. I'm usually the gross one.

Here's the original if ya want it!

I've been plucking away at two comics about polyamory all week, but they're labor-intensive because I keep re-writing them (it's hard to fit so many feelings into one small page!).

So I started this one for today, and felt it was more appropriate to just finish it early and post it on actual July 4th.

This was the best way to wake up in America today. I'm feeling very lucky to live where I do.

The July 4th comic is available here! If you're going to buy any original art from me, make sure you type in the code DAILYSMILE50 for 50% off at checkout!

And if you're going to celebrate the 4th today, I hope you can focus on the people you're celebrating with. 💙

Was it a 4th of July parade where Lambda Chi Alpha had a Bud Knight float or am I misremembering??

1: When I looked at that picture of Ollie's paws in my head I heard the Bush's guy say "Roll That Beautiful Bean Footage!" 2: IMHO the only gross part about Luke in the bathroom is him being barefoot in there. Last place I want my feet exposed. Granted, I don't really like being barefoot anywhere, which is what marks me as Gen X and not a Millennial! Seems like the worst punishment you can inflict on someone under 40 is to make them wear shoes all day. 3: I've been in my current place 25 years and unlikely to move for any reason, but even the threat of an annual parade would it.

For me, it's been really hard to be happy and proud on Independence Day for many years. I'm an Air Force brat, so I was raised to appreciate how fortunate we are and I still believe that, but the course of my lifetime (my first presidential election was 1980)... sigh Your July 4 post helped. Thanks 😊🙏

Sorry for your stress-dreams! I'm glad the feets and the garden are all ok. Is that purple basil you're growing?!?! 🥰🥰🥰

Soooo now I have been singing "A fart is a sigh your butt makes" to the tune of "a dream is a wish your heart makes"

After helping line up a parade for many years, I found the following tip is useful when you get some group that doesn't like where they are in the line-up (they had weeks to complain, but always wait until the day of the parade): "Hmmm, the only other place I see that would work is behind the horses." "Uh, ok, we'll stay where we are." (For music groups, you can substitute "bagpipes" for "horses.")

LITERALLY just had a dream where we were at my parents' house, and it was storming and EVERYTHING LEAKED, BUCKETS WORTH so at least that's (hopefully?) not the case!

The stress dreams! 😱 I didn't expect two reliefs in one page, that was nice. Looking forward to the polyamory comics! Are you going to share them somewhere?

Ugh. Parades. I was in the high school band. In Montana. In the 1960's. There were horses. Lots of horses. And our uniforms had these awful spats that buckled under your foot....

Trebuchet

We have FIFTY-FOUR pink toe-beans in our house!

dcorsetto

I'll share them here! (Although I keep biting my nails and saying "is this too personal?")

dcorsetto

Thank you and I'm sorry because that's exactly what I had stuck in my head all week, too.

dcorsetto

That issssss!! I've got lettuce leaf basil, Thai, genovese, and purple. :)

dcorsetto

I can't decide if this means you have 2 cats or if I'm counting toe beans incorrectly!!

dcorsetto

I TOO connect toe beans with that Bush's Beans motto! We walk around in the yard barefoot, which I figure is grosser than our bathrooms because they're every animal's and insect's bathroom, but no one is cleaning the floor out there. I guess we veer more Millennial anyway, but it helps that we live in a hippie town. I do wonder what my neighbors think of being part of the parade route. Then again, you can't live in this town without loving a parade, I think it's listed on the agreement when you buy or rent a building here.

dcorsetto

OMGGGG I forgot all about that!!! That one was a homecoming parade, no surprise!

William Cole

Oh my! That's a lot of basil!

Trebuchet

Three white-footed cats times 18 toes per cat is 54! I didn't even count the main pads!
