WHIPSMARK: Did you just POST this about the late DINGO WOLFHEART?

WHIPSMARK: “Rest in poop to DUMBO WOLF FART. I’m glad he’s dead, but I’m sad I wasn’t there to watch it happen”
WHIPSMARK: “He will be mourned by other people who should ALSO all die soon. This is not a THREAT of any sort, simply a request to Santa Claus”

BELDRA: I have a bunch more in my drafts, if you’d care to see.
WHIPSMARK: I do NOT.

WHIPSMARK (sternly): Crass. Disrespectful. When I die, are you going to say terrible things about ME, too?

BELDRA: WELL
BELDRA (sliding into a smirking, gleeful side-eye): THAT DEPENDS

...I'm sad I wasn't there to watch it happen. I got stuck in traffic on the bridge on my way to the dookie factory, where he worked, and where he choked to death on dookie, sadly before I could get there. Whoops, character limit

Drawing: napkin comics #2

we are okay tippers

(click for a closer look)

Napkin Comics #2 was drawn in a diner in New Jersey, on the way to (or from?) a visit to the Storm King sculpture park. That’s Chris driving, Colleen in the passenger seat, and me dozing in the back with my talkative, multilingual GPS. Some navigator I turned out to be.

Submission: hypercolor hyperverse

we're #2, we're #2

by Sylvia, who says, “I am in the habit of drawing in the margins, and often right over the top of my notes in class.  Usually, I have different colored pens and at least one or two highlighters on hand.  Here are the results.”
