Howdy! I make an online newspaper comic called Rae the Doe. It's about an anxious, trans doe and her punk skunk girlfriend.

Mimi is standing with Mimi. Rae looks very happy.
RAE: Mimi, there’s something I must admit. I have a crush on you.

Mimi has her usual, neutral expression.
MIMI: Rae, we’re literally dating.

Rae looks VERY happy.
RAE: So it’s mutual?!

Cybil and Lottie are standing together.
CYBIL: Sometimes I think you’re trying to misunderstand me.
LOTTIE: What do you mean?

EARLIER
Cybil looks happy.
CYBIL: Hi!

Lottie looks nervous.
LOTTIE: Hawaii??

A drawing of the Rae the Doe cast relaxing on a grassy hill. Text says "I love you, you gay disaster". The only colors used are shades of blue and pink.

The cover of Rae the Doe: Third Time's the Charm.

Illustrated by Jamie Sardo, the cover is a parody of Back to the Future: Part III's poster.

We see two speech bubbles coming from within a building with a sign that says ABANDONED PRANK FACTORY.
MIMI: CYBIL... LOTTIE... WHY ARE WE HERE?
LOTTIE: WELL, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THE MISCHIEF KNIGHT'S LAIR.

Mimi looks mildly exasperated.
MIMI: I JUST NEED A DOZEN EGGS SO THE PARTY I'M THROWING FOR MY SOON-TO-BE WIFE GOES OFF WITHOUT A HITCH. THAT'S ALL I NEED.

Cybil looks nonchalant. Lottie looks confused.
CYBIL: YOU DON'T NEED TO PLAY THE "ENGAGED" CARD. LOTTIE AND I ARE MARRIED.
LOTTIE: SO WE'RE WINNING?
CYBIL: NO, I MEAN- WE GET IT. WE'RE GONNA HELP YOU FIND THE MISSING EGGS.

i’ve lost a lot of weight since getting a CPAP machine a few years ago and it’s been so nice to have old clothes fit in a completely new way

someone at comic con pointed at the headshot of me that comics kingdom was displaying and said “you look different now” and i said “yeah haha that picture is 6 years and 70 pounds ago” and then he said “i meant you’re currently wearing a mask”

Olive Rae Brinker @olivebrinker.bsky.social · 19h

i put out a sign that says “like if garfield was a transgender lesbian” and everyone has made a different face at it. one older gentleman gave me a solemn nod of respect

it turns out i have less stuff to sell at NYCC than i thought, so if you want a book or pin make sure to get to the booth early! but also it’s extremely likely i won’t sell anything so you can probably leisurely stroll over. honestly go with whatever speed you prefer

Lottie, with her eyes closed confidently declares something.
LOTTIE: We should reach out to "you know who". They would know how to solve this mystery.
Cybil happily agrees.
CYBIL: Oh, absolutely! We should head to their lair ASAP.

Mimi narrows her eyes. She is out of the loop.
MIMI: Wait, I don't know who the "you know who" you two know is. So who?

We see the following written in gritty red text on a black background:
THE MISCHIEF KNIGHT
MIMI: It's way too late to a title drop!! ...Ah, whatever. It's a nice font.

i looked up the symptoms for all my current eye problems, and apparently the most likely cause is a blocked tear duct. i keep imagining Feminist Osmosis Jones explaining to whatever microscopic cartoon blobs are responsible that it's rude to try to tell a woman she's not allowed to cry

Cybil looks panicked. They start waving their arm around as they introduce a theory.
CYBIL: Wait a second. Toilet paper, shaving cream, and eggs are all missing? Those are the three essentials of Mischief Night!
Mimi looks inquisitive, putting her hand to her chin while trying to think back.
MIMI: You know what? I haven't seen any toilet paper thrown, shaving cream sprayed, or eggs... egged...

CYBIL: That's why we had to go shopping for dinner. Usually it's free tonight! Eggs, whipped cream, toilet paper... it's an all you can eat buffet!
MIMI: Shaving cream, not whipped cream.
CYBIL: No wonder it tastes so good!!

Come February I will begin making toxic age-gap jokes about my elderly gf (I am 3 months younger than her)

Olive Rae Brinker @olivebrinker.bsky.social · 4d
