Hourly Comics!! Aka, Hey Danielle how are your PIPES?? (Patreon)

Hello hello! I finally have all my Hourly Comics all done for this year!

I'm a bit late, but this isn't the Olympics, so there are no real rules. You just chronicle a day's worth of activity, in comic form, for every hour you're awake.

I decided to finish mine well after the actual date I was chronicling (February 1st) and so far no referees or judges have come to disqualify me.

Anyway, let the hourlies begin! (This is a free post, but if you're a Patreon member of mine, surely you recall what Ryan pissed on to start this whole thing.)

Surprise! The pipes in the add-on unheated hallway, full of windows and doors, that used to be the exterior of the house, burst again! The leaking water rolled under the washer all the way to the door of the girls' studio, before I could shut it off.

Obviously it's not great, but at least it's tile. Then again, tile isn't warm. The water began to freeze on the cold tile in minutes. But! Look at how pretty the ice was!

If you're a science nerd who knows why it froze into such intricate patterns (and can explain it to a kindergartener), I'd love to hear an explanation!

Alright, back to the house crisis.

A lesson I've had to teach myself over the course of many years: just relax and have some tea.

Gordon actually texts in full sentences, I'm just expressing awe at his emoji flourishes.

I managed to get the brunt of it off the tile, though!

Two of my New Year's Resolutions complete! (Clearing the desk, and starting a budget book. Claw clipping is a biweekly thing.)

I know how to make a jar of Bülow licorice last, lemme tell you.

Boum does some of my faaaavorite hourly comics! Here's a link to hers from this year, and here's a link to Lucy Knisley's, another big fave of mine! (They're here <-- Boum and here <-- Lucy on Patreon, too, if you wanna see more work from them!)

I can't wait to be stuck on the phone for an hour with them yaaaay. (I'm outing myself that it's been 11 days and I still have not called them.)

The end.

And, spoiler: Gordon fixed the pipes and it's above freezing so I can breathe again!

And if you're not a Patreon member yet, but you'd like to see my daily comics every week, it's literally $24/year to join the lowest tier (slightly cheaper if you pay for the whole year upfront) and you get to see allllll the comics I make. No pressure, but some of you love this autobio comics shit (and SO DO I), and you'd probably like what I make here!
