I'm apricot! I make the fantasy webcomic Kattabolt, about spunky cat girl Alex ⚡🐱

areyoshi.com

I post about Pokemon, my pets, & my OCs. If you like middle-aged men with issues who fall in love: hello, ask me about my #OC ship called Kibble. I have no self control.
Kattabolt comic advertisement featuring original character Alex, a cute cat girl in colorful clothes who is happily riding on a lightning bolt. She has long black hair and big glasses. There are low opacity examples from the comic in the sky behind her. The image has the web address for Kattabolt and also shows that it's available to read on Tapas and Webtoon as well. Fan art of the Pokemon Pikachu and Charizard in a fierce battle. Pikachu is leaping away with rainbow electricity coming from its cheeks while Charizard flies after it and spews fire. Original characters Kittens and Bull Dog, two old timey mobsters, running against a spotlight background. Kittens is a small man with brown hair, slightly tanned skin, and a scar above his brow. Bull is a very large bald man wearing a suit. Kittens is full on sprinting, but Bull is jogging.

Everyone either knows a Gus or simply is a Gus. This shy future historian can't catch the bus on time, but maybe he can catch your attention while you both go to Heartbeat Highschool in 1997!

Heartbeat Highschool promo image featuring Gus, a fat teen with a friendly smile and short brown hair. He's wearing fingerless gloves and an unbuttoned dress shirt over a graphic T-shirt featuring an armored hand holding a sword. Gus has a small knick in his left ear. The game logo is in the top left and a QR code leading to the link in the post in nearly center left. There is a caption that says "Let's party like it's 1997!"

My therapist kept asking how I'm handling the anticipatory grief for someone in hospice (No this post isn't from last year, it's happening again at the same time) and ALLEGEDLY I kept changing the subject to other people. So now I have homework; I have to pretend I'm looking at me as someone else

I never noticed this either.
A post on threads from user stephens_bens. It reads 'I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bulleye, Jesse Thorn asked him "As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?" And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied "I'm carrying *two* skateboards." And you know what? He is.' Below that is a screen cap of Buscemi's famous "fellow kids" moment.

Illustrated two panel green black and white comic labeled 2 pm. The first panel is a drawing of melting ice in a tall drink, with apple slices and celery splayed out on a crumpled napkin. Thought bubbles lead to the second panel, showing Nema sitting with her legs crossed. In her palm is a small pile of seeds, and in her lap sits her pigeon Clem, happily pecking away. A couple of seeds have fallen and sit on the floor beside the pair.

does anyone else remember when the 2022 Super Bowl had so many crypto ads people were calling it the Crypto Bowl and then crypto just absolutely fucking tanked?

anyway
The advertising during the game stood out for a high number of celebrity cameos and advertisements for futuristic technology, particularly for products like electric vehicles, virtual reality and cryptocurrency.[136][137][138][139] There were many cryptocurrency-related ads drawing comparisons to dot-com commercials during Super Bowl XXXIV in 2000,[140][141] leading some to refer to the game as the "Crypto Bowl".[142][143]

Trying out some new things, glad to be posting comics drawn on paper again.
See you in another few hours.
Hourly Comic Day 2026. At 6AM, Circe woke Ken up to go outside. 11AM, Ken wakes properly. He's sick, and has been since the storm a few days ago. 12PM, Circe hasn't returned, so it must be nice out. 12:30PM, Circe returns, not to leave again till nightfall. 1PM, Ken reads some classic Stan Lee and Jack Kirby Thor. 2PM, Ken catches up on drawing these comics, all while drinking some turmeric and ginger black tea.

I have booked a music rock n roll punk show at Collective Arts in Toronto for Thursday March 5 for my band Anti-Spectacular and I'm looking for other acts to fill out the lineup. Are there any toronto based punk or punkish bands that would be interested? Lemme know in the replies and I'll DM you.

this year’s hourly comic day is brought to you by original character day dreaming ✨

I don’t feel like I’ve slept phew
(my thread of these will be below)
#hourlycomicday #hourlycomics #ocsky #art
Two panel comic in white black and green. In the first panel, I awaken at 6:00 am, rubbing my eyes sleepily while petting my dog good morning. A thought cloud leads to the second panel, where Nema, an elven original character, covers a yawn with her hand as she sits up in bed, her pigeon Clementine watches her.

It's #HourlyComicDay! I'll be updating this thread throughout the day, but I'm doing them on the iPad this year so who knows how it'll go. It might take me longer to finish, I'm bad at procreate somehow?

Single panel comic for hourly comic day 2026. 12am. apricot is sitting in an arm chair with the legs up, a silly fluffy cat sitting next to them and another cat creeping behind the chair. The caption reads: "We're so close to finishing Fantasy High season 3... I don't like most actual plays, but I was convinced to give D20 a try by that season 2 Baron animation." Off screen, presumably coming from the television, someone is saying "Blimey!" in reference to a specific scene with Ally Beardsley. apricot is quietly saying "nooo K2"

I bought a physical sketchbook for the first time this decade and I have some feelings about it
#HourlyComicDay #HCD #Hourlies
A two panel comic. In the first panel, Bex is holding up a sketchbook. She says, "I bought a physical sketchbook even though I hate drawing traditionally." The second panel is a close-up of Bex's grumpy face. She says, "Like, REALLY hate it." A continuation from the previous comic. A tiny Bex is stood on a giant Sketchbook with a giant iPad behind her. she says, "I fucking hate that gen AI makes me doubt the value of my digital work now. Seriously, who gives a shit?" A continuation from the previous page. A hand double taps a surface with two fingers, this is how you undo a line in Procreate. The text reads: My digital art is clean to a fault, something I've spent the last few years trying to unlearn. Is a wobbly line more authentic than a smooth line? Can you feel the artist through the tremors of their work? A continuation from the previous page. A large panel that's mostly black, with some semi abstract white forms scattered about. They look like leaves or flowers, but it's not specific. The text reads: But it takes a lot of effort and study to daw a smooth line, even if it's digital. Is that effort not also authentic?

JUST FOR THE RECORD, if you've wondered about any of the beautiful art for #HBHS assets... I may have directed, but the final character page arts are by @demondionysus.bsky.social and date location illustrations are by @slyllama.net! Working with either of them is always a pleasure, I recommend 'em.

This sketchbook comic made my kid laugh harder than anything else I've ever drawn, so I am currently considering it my finest work.
A comic. “We used to have a smart speaker, but we replaced it with our kid’s Furby.” (drawing of a furby) Speech bubble: “Hey Furby, play music by “They Might Be Giants.” Furby: Lee koo The furby is wiggling while it replies. “It ran out of batteries a while ago.” Speech bubble: Ok Furby— What’s the temperature?.. Cold? Yeah.” The furby is doing nothing. “Honestly, it works about as well as the robot we used to have,” (image of furby face close up) “…AND it doesn’t spy on our conversations to sell our data— BONUS." “I’m thinking of putting it in the window by the door. (Image of the furby in a window of a front porch) “(For security)” “FURB HOME>SMART HOME” The furby is drawn large with slogans across it’s visage: “whimsical” “retro” “retains vague menace of smart tech but lacks actual menace to spy for govt. and corporations"
