Disturbing the delicate balance

My boyfriend is very precise in how and when he eats his food. I am not as calculated in how and when I eat his food. Also I just now noticed the missing K in the text. Oh well.

Back to the regular

I have a handful of specific chocolates that I have arbitrarily decided to assign as "christmas chocolates", that are only allowed on christmas because they're special, and they make christmas spec...

Greed: A drama in three acts

We watched this exchange happen, quite exactly step-by-step. I took the artistic liberty to depict one of my boyfriend's family's dogs as completely black (he's mostly black, with very small white ...

Christmas Vacation

Well, I'm off to celebrate the holidays with loved ones, and won't be back again until January. See you all next year!

Next year's problems

Every time I get a comic idea - or even half of an idea - I write it down to the notes app on my phone, and sometimes they float there half-cooked for months, until I figure out how to fle...

Arctic foxes

My boyfriend is built for the cold. A human version of those sled dog breeds who will happily sleep face down in the snow and hates coming back indoors.

A serious game

My boyfriend does airsoft. Indoor games are pretty rare in Finland, as there are only about three permanent indoor game fields. Last weekend there was a game in an old building that was due to be t...

Inside thought

Sometimes the simplest comic concepts are the most challenging ones to draw. This is an extremely simple joke but it's carried entirely by Blue's expression in the last panel.

Abstract textures

For reasons beyond my own comprehension, I spent this entire day making these. I had things I was supposed to do, but alas.

Acquired tastes

There's these little snack bar cookies (most likely meant for meal prepping) in the store that taste exactly like an old stale gingerbread house. I like the taste of an old stale gingerbread house....

Grumpy hours

I grew up in a household where the response to someone clearly being mad about something but refusing to say why was responded with either taking it personally, or by harrying the person who is mad...

Curls

I've got a home perm box in my closet, waiting for the day I finally figure out how to give myself natural-looking curls with the rollers I have.

Best case scenario

I know it's one of those logical fallacy bias things to think that all the trials you had in life were necessary in order to get to the good, happy part of life, but I'll indulge in it nonetheless....

Return of the christmas spirit

It's that time of the year again! Merry chrisis!

Cheat code

I originally thought of having Blue simply float away, but then I thought of just how often levitating foxes have been featured in the comics, and had to come up with something else.

Deaf to the world

I don't know how I'll fare when I'm old. I know people on my mother's side have a tendency to lose their hearing with age - nobody really knows when my grandma lost her hearing, because she had nev...

Getting better

I'm back to regular posting! Spent a week just laying in bed, another one doing whatever I please (been weaving a basket, I'll show you when I'm done!) and building up a queue of comics so I can wo...

Sick leave

Turns out I'm probably sick after all. My energy didn't come back over the weekend so I'm back in bed until I feel like I want to get out of bed.

Not doing today

You ever have those days when you just don't want. You simply do not want to do that day. But there's things to do.

Getting up this morning felt like trying to peel an orange. Peeling myself...

The Suffering

Sometimes, when there's something that can't be helped in any way and must simply be suffered through, there's still always the option of being dramatic about it. My boyfriend isn't as much of a fa...

The Halloween costume!

Now that I'm back home, here's the pictures of the costume I wore. Our theme this year was childhood shows, stories and fears, and I had decided to go as the black rabbit of Inlé from Watership Do...

The Moth That Wasn't Doing Anything

We were wrong about the moth, it turns out! We had figured we'd let it be since it was just chilling on the ceiling and wasn't bothering anyone. Turns out that the moth was a flour moth, who had co...

Whatever you want

We enjoy getting to do our own things sometimes, without having to worry about the other one being miserable or terribly bored. I need a break from the quiet life every once in a while, seeing my f...

Nothingburger

I did not actually try this (though I was tempted to) so this did not happen. I am however a firm believer in workers' rights to yell at customers who are up to nonsense and other shenanigans.

Sleeping sound(ly)

This is another one that absolutely happened. Our apartment is positioned in a way that sounds off the street are very clear and audible to up here, and for a minute there, groggy and half-awake, I...

Car drama

There's an intersection just below our balcony that nobody seems to know how to drive properly. On a semi-regular basis, we'll get to observe drivers having beef with each other. We are the balcony...

Persimmon season

I love persimmons and they are one of the best parts of late autumn/early winter. I love it when they are in season, and for the time being, they are my favourite for the next few months. I'll have...

Fragments of Heaven

I actually love waking up very early in the morning when I have nowhere to go. Waking up naturally, that is - I wouldn't set up a 5 am alarm for no reason just for the joy of it. But waking up rand...

Get real

Some jokes are only funny because of the stark contrast in the sheer time and effort it takes to execute it, and just how stupid the joke itself is. That's why the visual gag of "be realistic" neve...

Orbs galore

For reasons beyond my own comprehension, I have lately been obsessed with rendering these spinning orbs. The only way for me to free myself of a fixation like that is to simply run it to the ground...
