I took a notion to draw a wee comic last night, based on my real-life experience where I felt bad for some sticks.

Comic page. 2 Panels.

Panel 1: Me walking my dog in the woods.

Caption: Not to brag - but I walk my dog, okay/

Caption: We often find ourselves in the local woods.

Panel 2: Me looking at a big stretch of boggy muck.

Caption: There's this one big stretch of boggy muck on the pack we take.

Caption: You're probably thinking that we just shouldn't go this way. Hey you might be right. First time for everything, as they say.

Comic page. 1 Panel

Panel 1: Me and the dog walking over the boggy muck, elevated on sticks laid into the dirt.

Caption: Every few weeks, though - someone lays down a very useful series of branches so we can cross with ease.

Caption: That's nice isn't it? Someone taking the time and expending the effort to build a little bridge.

Caption: I often wonder who it is. Perhaps it's more than just one person. That's a comforting thought.

Panel 2: Me looking at a big stretch of boggy muck.

Caption: There's this one big stretch of boggy muck on the pack we take.

Caption: You're probably thinking that we just shouldn't go this way. Hey you might be right. First time for everything, as they say.

Comic Page - 1 Panel. Me crossing the sticks, we see all the previous sticks crushed down deep into the dark mud.

Caption: It's funny how guilty I feel when a branch breaks - like I've undone their good work, y'know?

Caption: But within a weeo or two, there's a new set of branches ready to be trodden into the mud.

Caption: It's hard not to think about all those other branches, crushed down deper in the dark with every new layer.

Comic Page 2 panels.

Panel 1: Me standing in the woods looking down at the path.

Caption: maybe it's my turn to lay down some branches for the next folk who come this way.

Caption: God knows it wouldn't take long - and I definitely have the time.

Panel 2: Shot of my hands holding the sticks I'd need.

Caption: Nah

This style is stunning Gav, there's so many elements I love but the symbolism and the dark conversational humour of it really touched me.
I can hear your voice in it.

I've been wanting to try my hand at comics sometime, this is inspiring ✨

Thank youuuuuu! So sweet of you to say 😭🧡
Been having a rough time of it lately so I cracked out the acrylic paint pens, most of em have definitely dried up but I'm gonna get more eventually :)

Strawberry cremes are one of the best ones as well :(

Your consistency is simple admirable my friend, strength to strength 💪🏻

Moved into my new flat 31st July and I've only just gotten Internet connected up now...

...Only I haven't been sent the router to actually use it 🙄

Still don't have access to my boiler/gas at all, it's a nightmare 😭
Utility companies giving me the run around is currently the bane of my existence.

Ah misunderstood!
You're in for a treat, trek is so charming a lot of the time that its shite episodes can be forgiven.
They come into their own and the charactisation of TNG is really great. TNG/DS9 get stronger as they go so you'll definitely have a "hell yeah" moment if youre already invested!

Captain_Ogilvy (Chess!) @TFNation 2025 @captainogilvy.bsky.social · Aug 31

Onwards and upwards!! I hope you enjoy your rewatch!

Yeahhhh some of the plots are just smashed together and it makes for some crunchy episodes. Sometimes it really works and other times, not so much haha
DS9 has its moments too, but I love both of them dearly 😂😅

Captain_Ogilvy (Chess!) @TFNation 2025 @captainogilvy.bsky.social · Aug 30

You're so real for this 💋

Captain_Ogilvy (Chess!) @TFNation 2025 @captainogilvy.bsky.social · Aug 30

Coots are so good, love baby ones cause they just are fuzzy pom poms on massive stilts
