An excerpt from a comics page. An anthropomorphic lancet fish on a flying mechanical cuttlefish flies toward the reader. He shouts villainously. The scene is very energetic and exciting.

What to do with a mummy?

A cartoon drawing of an anthropomorphic cat, pig, and teddy bear.
Teddy bear: Some might use them as ingredients for dark spells. I know of a few wizards who've used mummies to make magic pigments for wicked talismans.
Cat: An' I got a cookbook with a scary face on the cover that has a recipe to make mummies into medicine!

I'd watch a Pickles and Maggie cooking show. I guess Cap'n Lao and Taft wouldn't, though.

Webcomics friends: recommendations for hosting w/Wordpress/Toocheke? I've been paying $300/year for Bluehost and after my site broke their support has been confusing.

Thank you! Like making comics, there's a bit of a long game with these. And it feels good when you finally see things taking shape.

Jerzy Drozd 🧸🐷🐢 @jdrozd.com · 25d

Thanks! They're a nice way to engage in a different mode with my pretend world.
