Stupid Brain

Hi Everybody! 

Today's comic is brought to  you by the Pentel Pocket Brush pen which comes highly recommended by some of the finest cartoonists in the land (not the least of which is Xeric Award Winner, Sam Spina!). Given that my comics career is in its infancy, I'm still experimenting with style and content, so I don't mind posting my first attempt at using the brush pen. I found it difficult, but I'm determined to practice til I find a way to produce something I really like! I also need to figure out how to make my comics faster. Spending 3-5 hours per comic is too long, I think. Unless all you other cartoonists out there say you spend that much time on one comic, then, I guess, okay.

In other news, I went to the Northwest Comic Con in May and met some cool indie cartoonists that I will talk about here in the near future. It is summer, therefore there are a million things to do outside. Drawing comics is one of them, but sometimes takes a back seat to mowing the lawn, planting flowers, digging up crap in the yard. I am also the family taxi driver, so I have been spending a lot of my days driving people places. And finally, my hub, Phil is in Tanzania, Africa for two weeks. (See a video of the town where he is working and playing music.)

Thanks for reading my comics! 

Love, Robin

Spring Romance

So, What's Your Point?

 

Special thanks to Rosie, for letting me post this very personal comic!!! Just to let you know, she is the most awesome, creative, beautiful, incredible daughter in the world! I love her very much!

And it is very true, most of our arguments end with us realizing we were both arguing the same point.

New Mini Comic Coming Soon!

I will have a new mini comic out very soon called: Childhood Regrets!

I'll keep you updated!

Everybody Needs a Hobby

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!

Age Has Its Perks

 

So.... yeah. I'm almost ready to stop having birthdays. 

I don't know why he's so happy...

Happy Birthday

Is It Really Safe?

Time To Draw Comics

That's right. My favorite pen is missing. It was my fault, I think. I cleaned my pens and then somewhere after that, I misplaced it. I had to use a micron pen on this comic... my world is upside down.

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!

Chicken Hearted

I find parenting stressful. Very stressful. I can't always tell when I'm stressed, unless the lower eyelid of my left eye starts to quiver. It's extremely annoying and there's nothing to be done about it except wait it out. It eventually goes away for awhile. Until the next crisis, that is.

Beware the First Snowfall

Usually, the first snowfall is romantic and beautiful, but this  year, stuff was falling down all over the place! Our neighbor lost a ton of branches and we saw a big tree that had fallen over and just missed a car! Huge clumps of heavy wet snow were crashing down, so walking was treacherous and electrical lines were snapping all over the place. And we thought tornadoes were scary!
