family – Tails From the Backyard

DQ

Okay, so my Nan keeps a lot of books in the coffee table, my Mom didn’t like where I left the table when I vacuumed two weeks ago and pulled the table while sitting, and she is now so injured she can’t stand up without crying. We went to urgent care the day I wasContinue reading “DQ”

How It’s Going

AN ACTUAL COMIC BASED ON REAL LIFE? WHAT IS THIS?!

What We Did On Our Summer Vacation, Part 3

My summer has been busy, but here are some highlights. This comic took me weeks to make. I am planning to make a lot of these drawings better. In fact, this is how all the comics start out. But for now, this is what we have, and if you’ve never checked out the alt textContinue reading “What We Did On Our Summer Vacation, Part 3”

Summer Is The Time To Relax!

There’s a lot going on here, and I do want to make comics about all of it, well, not all of it, but I want to make sure my Mum can see them and she’s in the hospital fighting off Legionella pneumonia right now so I just don’t really feel like going HAHA LET’S COLORContinue reading “Summer Is The Time To Relax!”

The Kitten’s Lady

Happy birthday Nana-Ma, great-great-great grandma to The Kitten. The things they get up to in bed could be a series of its own but I settled for having a comic ready on time.

The Hot Man Club

The Hot Man Club just got a little hotter. 😘 You’ve met this hunkbird before. His name was Roscoe, and he saved America with his fart jokes. I wish I’d gotten to meet him in person, but some of the happiest times are when I drew him. (And yes, I DID draw him here, it’sContinue reading “The Hot Man Club”

New Year’s Gathering

Happy New Year, plzthxbai.

It’s Magic!

I'm moving things away from my printer. I'm holding a pin with a picture of my uncle Donnie dressed as Tiny the Clown. The Kitten is sitting on the bed, watching me. "What is the shiny thing? I want it!" he says, reaching out a paw. I show him the pin. "This is my Uncle Tiny. He was fun, like you!" The Kitten reaches for the pin and says, "Gimme!" Holding the pin, The Kitten declares, "Uncles are my favorite thing." The next thing, The Kitten is wearing a top hat with a flower, much like Tiny's. He is standing with his claws out, as a balloon pops. "Oh no!" The Kitten says. "Whatcha doin', bun?" I ask. Looking at the bits of balloon, The Kitten says, "I want to make a butterfly, but my balloon animals keep vanishing."

Okay, so half of this really happened. The Kitten is really good at making pom-pom balls vanish, I should show him the coin trick Uncle Tiny showed me.

The Most Intense Staring Contest.

My cousin bird was a champion at doing freaky stuff with her eyes, and I’m honestly not sure who would win in a staring contest between her and The Woman but I know it would be a thing to see. Shoutout to the little bird that kept me company on July 4, too. The SlinkyContinue reading “The Most Intense Staring Contest.”

He’s Seen Things You Wouldn’t Believe.

The Slinky One was a perfect gentleman in the bathroom at all times, but that didn’t stop his Nanny-Ma from making the joke that he was just in there to watch ladies.

Just A Gigolo….

If you were lucky enough to have seen my Poppy sing at a wedding, you’d probably have heard him do Just A Gigolo. If you were lucky enough to have a 50th wedding anniversary, he’d greet you with, “What went wrong?” Have a spot of tea and a spot of cookie for my Poppy’s 100thContinue reading “Just A Gigolo….”

Stay In School!

After my Poppy passed away, random young women came up to my Nan to tell her he made them go back to school. He was a big believer in not being a floosie. I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t know what my cats are talking about, The Fluffy One has a strange dialect, after all.

Smell Those Girls!

Okay, so back in the ’80s when my Poppy would come home from his friend’s house, he’d say to our dog, “Smell those girls!” because his friend had a load of girl dogs. My Poppy would’ve been 100 this Friday so you’re getting some way out interpretations of some of his quotes.

A guest comic drawn by my Nan!

Nan asked if there was anything she could do while I was spending a week on the phone in the aftermath of the only purse snatching we haven’t seen on the news. I said the same thing I always say when someone asks if there’s something they can do for me: “Draw my comic?” LadiesContinue reading “A guest comic drawn by my Nan!”

Lunchie Time Raps!

Tomorrow is Nanny-Ma’s birthday and the fuzzy babies know how to take care of her! The Fluffy One makes her tea, The Puppy takes care of her feets, and The Slinky one is a radiator of love for his woman.
