Hello and welcome to ✨FRIDAY✨ (Patreon)

And you know what Friday means in Latin, right? It means DAILY COMICS DAY, BABES!

This one's from last week, but I didn't finish it til this morning. Thanks to Eleanor for the email!

Man, caricaturists LOVE a big shnoz. We love a big ANYTHING.

My bills are getting paid, I'm getting back to being financially stable, and I'm super lucky that I have other options that are in creative fields. I don't have an answer to Eleanor's question, but I want to get back to Elephant Town as soon as I can afford to. I really, really hope that's early next year.

Patreon just fancied up their creator interface, so this first comic's being sent out to everyone who signed up for updates here (hello!!), but the rest of the comics should be visible to only my paying patrons. If you're one of 'em, scroll down to the next comic!

If you can't see the next comic, you can upgrade to literally the lowest available tier (it's $2/mo, or $22.80 for a year if you choose "pay annually") and read the rest of this week's daily comics, as well as every week's daily comics on Fridays.

If you like my figure drawing, I share any and all of my figure studies (even the bad ones) with everyone in the $5/month tier, which includes a half-off coupon code for all figure drawing related things in my online store.

Oh! And I include a coupon code for all tier members to get 50% off my original comics art in my store, which means these dailies are only $25 apiece, which is basically just 3 bucks if you include the whole year's membership. That's good math, baby!

Okay I hate promoting myself, let's read comics.

I said goodbye to my dear friend Konrad last week, in the most stressful way...

It may have been five alarms, but that may as well be seven alarms. Seven alarms set to PM.

This one's for sale if you'd like it! Remember to scroll down to the last comic on this post to get the 50% off coupon code.

Here's a garden update for you. -_-

I did it. I killed them all. (Except all the new ones that I keep finding.)

Here's what my once-majestic kale patch looks like now.

Anyway, this comic's for sale in case you, too, whisper "I'm sorry" to every pest you kill in your yard.

I've had caterpillars on the brain lately, so strap in!

Are cabbage moths just one good marketing campaign away from being the It Caterpillars?? They're very witchy, and witchy is very in.

You can own the original for this witchy moth comic if you want it!

Here's a sappy one for ya.

It's from an old trampoline accident, and lots and lots of coffee.

We don't have a specific date, but sometime around this time 12 years ago, I met Luke. He didn't have as many eye crinkles back then, and neither did I. Our dentist did a bang-up job on his tooth, but I found the crack kinda charming tbh.

(Obviously this original's going to Luke, but maybe I'll make a similar comic one day for my fellow saps to have. 🖤 )

Here's one about everyone's favorite tortico.

Zero shower incidents since Fennel moved in.

Anyone else have a shower kitty? This one's for you, if ya want it!

If you order any original art, remember to use the coupon code DAILYSMILE50 at checkout for the 50% off discount!

It's been awhile since I've given you a garden update. Lotta dead and dying stuff out there, as we hit the end of summer, but maybe I'll have sunflower seeds soon!

Quetza for scale. Actually, garden for scale; now you can see how small Quetza is!

These are Sonja sunflowers, which I bought because the spelling is the same as my bff Sonja, whom some of you long-time followers remember as Hot German Chick.

The monarch caterpillars are in that patch of scraggly plant just to the right of my window!

Behold, the only royal family I pay any attention to:

I'll keep ya posted on these chunky worms. They should be sleeping in teal sleeping bags any day now...

Enjoy your weekend, my dears! Especially if you're in one of those magical careers that give you an extra day off next week!
