Check out my ADHD brained chaos of a comic works over on Webtoon Canvas! Now with a cover I think is pretty neat!

Panel 1: A fairly buff white guy with messy blonde hair and prominent eyelashes gestures forward with his hand and says "We men are perverts. That's why we objectify women." This is the Sanrio Guy from some of my previous comics. Panel 2: He puts his hand down and closes his eyes, continuing to say "women are too pure to ever objectify men." Panel 3: Closeup of a smaller, brown hand gently clasping a few fingers of his, as if to beckon him somewhere. Panel 4: We are now looking through Sanrio Guy's eyes as brown girl in a white t-shirt with a rectangular night sky treeline image, and black pants, is leading him towards a door labeled "GACHA GAMES" by the sign above. This is the Junji Ito girl from some of my previous comics. Within the door is complete and utter darkness.

Rowdy (Inktober 2025)

FINALLY I'm done... The infrastructure of that city is infuriating and to think it serves such a relatively small community. Even the parking lots are crazy dangerous and there like nowhere to walk!

24 rowdy: ali oc happily sitting in a cozy chair with a drink "Aaahh... another chill night at home with a nice chilled drink." Black panel with white text with a tiny drawing of ali with an alert emote. "She remembers Apple Valley, MN exists" Ali now over the top enraged, foaming at the mouth, crushing the glasses in her fist. eyes and veins in neck bulging. "OMG! It's SO stupid! Demolish a farm community and put in 12 lanes of road!? It's only 60k people!!"

Woke up from a dream where I was traveling Japan. In hindsight, I was probably just dissociating about being in America in the dream too. Got to a cafe and all the baristas were apologetic for rushing me, in English. Practice Japanese with other people? Ha not even in your dreams!

I don't often talk about having been a victim of sexual assault in my childhood and adolescence, but I will say now that everything I've been through in trying to rebuild my sense of self and become a functioning adult is burning in my chest with raw fury at seeing the stupid cruelty of these people

How 4 Gay Black Women Fought Back Against Sexual Harassment — And Landed In Jail
They're called the New Jersey 4, a group of young women who were catcalled and allegedly attacked in New York. Why did they — and not their harasser — end up in jail? A new documentary digs in.

"Vacant" (Inktober 2025)

Kinda wild that it took so long to realize I was very likely autistic lol but hey! 1 Inktober prompt left and I'm done! 🎉

#inkdrawing #inkdrawing #inktober2025 #inktober2025day30 #traditionalart #autismawareness #autism #neurodiversity #comic #journalcomic
Side panel: 30 vacant- Ali OC shrugging with a blushing nervous smile mask on saying "Some people don't really grasp how exhausting "masking" really is. [this comic is based on my personal experience. everyone's different]. Now with a "hmmmm..." Expression but with the mask on still. "Which is kinda intentional, since "not masking" is often a no-go. / The goal too, is to be NOT seen as "masking." Header: Sometimes you can catch the mask coming off for a breather when I'm tired or something out of the norm happens. Picture of me maskless, with only beady little expressionless eyes, staring at the bark on a tree as a man carrying a bag walks by on the city sidewalk. Header: Usually, it'll be out of sight sometimes it's aided by scarf or sunnies. Picture: corner of a movie theater with a superhero poster stand in in the coming soon. Ali is wearing a flared peacoat, a pink scarf, beret, and fink lens sunglasses standing rigidly alone.

Lesson (Inktober 2025)

There were plenty of moments before this that certainly alluded to me being trans, but this was the moment where it seemed possible. Spent the next two years trying to

Header: day 1 in master's program. A white board with a welcome message and campus resources. The program director says "there are plenty of resources on campus to help you during your time here! Any questions?" Boy Ali, sitting a desk with question mark over head and hand raised. "Wait. When did it become 'LGBTQIA+?' Doesn't the length and having a '+' defeat the purpose of an acronym?" Director responds "Why don't you look into it?" Boy Ali reading the "LGBTQIA+ Handbook," in a lot of distress, radiating anxiety. Boy Ali now really simplistically drawn, wide eyed, book closed in table, sitting in a white void. "Oh... That's what that was? Uh oh..." Looking at egg painted with a trans flag
