Jester (Patreon)

I promised you a lil comic about Ollie's new form! Here it is:

I am obligated to share proof of our beloved jester:

So far, I think it's worked! I've seen zero birds! But most importantly, he finally presents as his true self, Ollie the Clown. (In case you're interested, the brand is BirdsBeSafe.)

In other news, we've been eating extremely long green beans from the garden:

... and by we, I mean myself, but also these two beauties:

Lucy Bellwood and Erika Moen are staying here for almost two weeks and I'm over the moon. They're in my home and they feel like home to me, so I'm feeling double at-home right now. <3

It's tempting for three cartoonists who use & love Patreon to share eeeeeverything we do together with patrons, but I hope you'll forgive us if we're relatively absent online in favor of being on REAL vacation and staying present with each other, and off our phones. (Okay, I'm not actually on vacation - I'm still updating Monday - but these two are, and I'm pretending I am in between work!)

That said, Erika and Lucy joined me for figure drawing on Wednesday (which I'll post for my $5 patrons shortly), and I'll let you know if they share theirs so you can check out how different all our styles are. :)

(EDIT: As if the clock tower rang Patreon Update Time, Lucy posted her figure drawings like two minutes after I posted this! Enjoy!)

And as a little bonus, attached you'll find Pip taste-testing our town fool, who I imagine tastes exactly like rainbow sherbet. 

(Additional edit: Lucy has confirmed that, prior to meeting Ollie, she may not have believed that he SPROINGs the way I drew him SPROINGing in this comic, but, she's seen it, and has validated my representation of said SPROING.)
