HAPPY PORTFOLIO DAY, EVERYONE!

Comic strip of me on a walk with my partner and expressing how much responsibilities as an adult are not fun, and maybe I'll try sniffing some flowers to enhance my day. Unfortunately, the flower I'm aiming to smell has a bee on it that is wielding a knife and threatening, "Challenge accepted!" Comic strip of me showing my son a Northern Cardinal and him making fun of me. Comic strip of three cats sitting near their empty food dishes and wondering why their servant hasn't fed them yet. Comic strip of me sitting in my mind cafe while drinking coffee and eating a donut.

A few days ago, I published some thoughts on rethinking comics collectives. Since then, I've received an outpouring of questions — mostly about building a strong collective. What are the ingredients? Who should be invited to join and why? How should the responsibilities be divided?

It's a good thing to fight for what's right in the world, and try to remember that your creative pursuits are a part of that effort.

Learning about Borderline Personality Disorder was one of the biggest game changers for me and my recovery. Reading about it was like reading my own life story.

Nobody knows YOU better than YOU. That makes you the expert in yourself. All suggestions that affect your body should be a collaboration with YOU. No exceptions!

Cartoon strip of me talking to a psychiatrist who is refusing to discuss other medicine options than the one he wants to give me. I advocate for myself by explaining to him that I am the expert of myself and insist that he collaborate with me about my needs.

Cover of Chapter 2 of the webcomic Everybody Loves Monday. It features the main character Frankie just waking up with their coffee. They are wearing a night mask and t-shit with a happy face on it. Their coffee mug says Fuck Me It's Morning. Above them is the chapter title that says It's Morning.

Finished Chapter 2 of Lenin's "The State & Revolution." Here is my second stab at a political cartoon.

Political cartoon of Democratic Socialists Zohran Mamdani & Bernie Sanders trying to convince a couple of Revolutionary Communists that reforms are better than revolution, while evil Elon Musk and Donald Trump are eagerly awaiting to see if it works.
