YOU KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS (don't worry, it's just Daily Comics Day) (Patreon)
Content
HELLO and happy Daily Comics Day! I'm a little loopy this morning because I have been up since SIX which is unusual for me. I'M HYPED! WATCH OUT!
(More quietly) here is a daily comic for you. Do you know what a hairless dog feels like? If you don't, but you want to, I have good news.
It's kinda weird that we're allowed to touch pets with a level of platonic intimacy that a lot of couples don't even have, right?
Here's the original art for this comic if you want it! (Remember to scroll down for your coupon code!)
And here's Quetz right now, this very instant:
Lately on Instagram I've been getting this weird "sponsored" content of some local dude who reviews food, and... well, this is me calling him out, SORRY LOCAL GUY. 😬
I think about this ALL THE TIME. How do people with crazy-face not know?? BUT THEN: what if I have a crazy face, and I don't know?!
Luckily, I think Pip would tell me. Bluntly. Often.
Quetza's an expert darter, so he's added an element of complication to this already complicated indoor/outdoor pet household. It's like having too many leaks and not enough fingers to stop them all up with.
Apparently starlings have more than one round of babies?! DO WE REALLY NEED THIS MANY STARLINGS.
(I did eventually get EVERYONE indoors. For those wondering, I can leave Pip right next to a tiny creature, because he has ZERO TALENT at killing, which is one of my favorite things about him.)
Here's the very-involved artwork for this comic!
This next one is a straight-up excuse to share my favorite gluten-free vegan cookie recipe with you! If you're a GWS fan, you may remember that Erin came up with this cookie concoction over a decade ago. (And a fan kindly made an easier, gluten-and-dairy-eating version for people who don't have things like "arrowroot starch" in their pantry.)
I came up with this recipe (with massive help from my friend Heather's book Pantry to Plate) specifically so that I could use up the delicious pears from my pear tree.
See also: every time 1.5 bananas go brown.
Here's the original art for this one! If you buy the original art, I'll also send you my old recipe card (I have two of them) with a coconut flake alteration added (optional).
I have more good news:
SUCCESS.
This photo was taken a bit later, after the heads had started to bow. But you get the idea.
(Pay no mind to the absolutely disgusting windowsill towel I never clean.)
(Also pay no mind to how large Fennel is in the window of that first panel, whoooppppss.)
Here's the original art for the sunflower one!
As with any original art in my shop, make sure you use DAILYSMILE50 at checkout for 50%, as a thank-you for being a Patreon member of mine. :) (Originals are usually $50 each, so it's $25 off for members!)
Now it's time for me to "walk" Quetza (he's not really a leash-walker yet) back to Luke's and drive to Harper's Ferry to take a tour of a haunted IoOF lodge with my former intern Teppi, as you do on a Friday afternoon.
I hope your haunted tour of a secret society's lodge with your former intern goes well today, too. Thanks for being here and letting me tell you about my quiet little world. 💙
