Chilly Friday! Daily Comics!! (Patreon)

Happy Friday to you all! I hope you can feel your fingers today. Mine have been in and out of numbness. We're firmly in the Below Freezing section of the year now.

One of the painters who's renting the back of my house for studio space (I swear I'll come up with a smoother way to address them one day!), is Charlotte, who's been itching to get back into figure drawing for awhile now. Michael was kind enough to invite her to join our figure drawing crew the last two weeks.

(Forgive the black bars, I don't live in the fine art world at all and I have no idea what these titles were.)

I know he told me about this when it happened, but it didn't sink in until our model and Charlotte both stopped Michael's casual chat to confirm: ON THE MOON??

Yeah, on the moon.

Here's one about that aforementioned finger-numbing cold:

I know it's sorta cringy to talk about "drinking enough water" these days, but I literally just never drank water unless it was caffeinated or intoxicating, and I can't think of anything I'm doing differently now, so: DRINK YOUR WATER.

(I did a little googling about the use of the word "hydrate" over the past few decades, and found this article podcast transcript particularly interesting if that's your kind of thing!)

I posted this next one early since it was timely, so you may have already seen it here or on Instagram:

Don't get me started.

The original for this one has already been requested by multiple people; it's available now for $200, and the full amount will be donated to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. (If you purchase this piece and would like me to donate to a different org that supports immigrants and/or protestors in Minnesota that you'd rather I donate to, I'm open to that!)

Here's just a tiny homage to my wonderful Great-Aunt Di in Maine...

I thought that maybe I'd tricked myself into seeing something that wasn't actually there, until I asked my mom about it a few years ago! I never even met this woman?! (Note to my brother: sorry if this is the first time you're learning this!!)

Here's the original art!

Scott Adams just died, and I think I've only ever written about this interaction with him in text form. It seemed appropriate to make a comic about it.

He did a nice thing for an aspiring cartoonist. And I'm glad I never interacted with him again. Rest in silence, Scott.

Here's the original art if you'd like it.

FWIW, Basket Case 3: The Progeny was the best Basket Case movie, as rated by both Ryan and myself.

And yes, you can say "sally forth" without meaning it in a military kind of way! But it does have its roots in military use, bleh blah boringgggg.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to check the pipes in the back of the house to make sure they have not frozen. Have an excellent weekend, friends!
