Cleaning Up Around Here

Hi There! Whew, it's been awhile since I've posted so it feels good to be back. Even though I haven't had much of a presence here of late, I've still been drawing, creating and learning some new software. It's been an awesome time of learning so that's been incredibly satisfying. I'll tell you more about that in the future. For now, I give to you my autobiographical comic "Brain Fog" which will chronicle my adventures with motherhood, wifehood (wifehood???), ADHD and Autism, and life as it comes. There will most likely be some conversations with my confidante and advisor "Lampy". (I just call him that, he doesn't really have a name because, well, he's a lamp and as such his character is just a figment of my imagination.) He's not the brightest bulb in the pack and he definitely gets on my nerves, but he's always thought provoking. 

Well, thanks for stopping by! I hope you'll come back to read more comics... I am working on pulling together some sort of schedule for posting. I've gone back to work now too so I will have to do a bit of time management gymnastics. I can't tell you how happy I am to be here!

Til next time,

Best. Ice Cream. Ever!

Not far from my house is a little ice cream shop that's been in the neighborhood for years. Tourists who come to our town always go there because it's famous for the most delicious and BIGGEST ice cream cones ever. It's a place we go when we want to have a special treat. Today I took a couple of my kids and some of their friends to get ice cream. You can always tell an exceptional ice cream cone by the amount that is left on your face when you're all done.

Whatever. I Do What I Want.

And to think she used to be such a well behaved doggie...

I wonder what happened?

How's it going my comic lover friends??? Read for Spring? I totally am. I live in a river town and MN has had 79 inches of snow this year. We're bracing for the big flood, but aside from that, I'll be glad to see some green after all this white. And if you live nearer the equator than me, I don't want to hear about it. Have mercy!

Is It Really Safe?

Priorities

Hands Off My Pop Tarts!

Hey, you thought I fell off the face of the earth didn't you? Well, I have a really good grip and instead of hurtling off into space, I held on. It took me a month, but I finally made it and I'm back with a comic to prove it. I don't know how consistent I'll be, but I'll do my best...

 

Hope you all had a great holiday/Christmas and all other holidays I don't know how to spell.

I missed you!

A Mother of a Beast

La-De-Da

Today's comic is just a silly thing that happened at breakfast yesterday.

And for those of you that like to peruse the details: Phil's arm looks like it's sinking right into the table. Hmmmmm.... a little off on the perspective there.

On another subject entirely:

I've been checking out Andrew at Shmerious Blog (which you should too... lots of cool art, comics, illustrations and shtuff) and he posted a very cool book that he made. So, I thought I would follow suit and post a similar book that I made earlier this summer. The cover is book board decoupaged with vintage repro paper, blank pages all sewn together with hemp. Fun!

It's Just a Number... Right?

Today's comic was drawn in the car while I was waiting to pick up kids at school and finished at home right now, before I crash into bed... My kids are both cruel and wonderful all in the same moment. Why, just today, I asked one of my kids if he was interested in any girls at school. His reply? Why would you want to know? Because I love you and I'm interested in your life. Well don't be.

Okay, fine.

Nasal Spelunking

I had to bribe Nate to let me post this cartoon. He's a good sport and it only cost me 5 bucks.

It Comes Back Around

Both times this happened I thought bugs were crawling on me and I probably don't need to tell you that there are some people who freak out at the notion a bug is crawling on them. I don't know why my family likes to torture me so much. Because they love me? Hmmmmm.....

Suburban Wilderness

I live in one of the prettiest places in the world. My town is on a river and it's very picturesque, small, old timey and I still run into some of my classmates at Target. Even better, right by my house, in the middle of a suburban neighborhood is a little lake that seems like a wilderness! Every once in awhile a deer will find it's way through the neighborhood and munch on the hostas in my backyard. It seems idyllic, and in many ways it is!

We walk almost every day and we got caught out in the rain last night... as we were passing a house we could see the t.v. through their window and it was showing tornado warnings... We made it home safely, but of course we were wet. Outside of being afraid one of us would get hit by lightning, it was really fun! I highly recommend walking in the rain!

Educating Nathan

The youngest kid in the family is the most educated about the finer details of life.

Emily's World

I took the kids and some of their friends to the movie Saturday. We saw "How to Train Your Dragon" in 3D. The glasses were awesome, as you can see and so was the 3D! Emily especially was impressed with the 3D. Ya gotta love a kid's point of view.
