Sometimes the comic characters ask me in their prayers, “Why do bad things happen in comics? Why don’t you draw everything so that there’s always a happy ending and everyone’s perfectly happy?”

Well, I COULD do that, but then the comics wouldn’t be entertaining anymore. All the bad stuff in the comics is part of a bigger plan (to get more likes on social media).

Some super-sweet compliments are actually not that great to hear.

In some situations, it’s better not to show your feelings too openly. Like when you want to tell your boss what you really think. Constructive criticism is important, but your feedback comes across more professionally if you’re not yelling the whole time.

The mealworm is pretty small, so here’s a close-up so you can get a better look. It’s a very good-looking worm and also works part-time as a mealworm model.

I spent about five times as long on the background as I did on the cartoon itself. But that’s okay. I needed an excuse to avoid doing housework.

In October, the Easter Bunny has a side job as the Halloween Bunny. But when kids ring his doorbell to get candy, he either doesn’t open the door at all or throws Brussels sprouts at them.

In winter, the Easter Bunny also works as the Christmas Bunny. That’s when all the kids get kale, whether they want it or not. It’s for their own good, the bunny claims.
