Also this is later than I'd normally post (still Saturday though!), I completely underestimated my ability to draw anthros. And I may have gotten carried away on the background.

Speaking of background, we have some surprise guests, I wonder who those excellent people are 👀

Life of Lamb #17: The Package

I've had some silly comic ideas before. This might be the silliest.

Also pretty proud of how the art came out on this, I feel like my color work is getting better.

Life of Lamb #16: Pride

I'd been holding onto an idea similar to this since pride month, but I never got around to making it.

I feel like right now the world needs a bit more trans positivity in it, though. Remember to love yourselves, yall.

Life of Lamb #15: Gender Envy

Aaaand that's the latest comic. With this one done, I'll be moving to a weekly schedule posting on Saturdays, so next comic is in only a few days.

Thanks for bearing with me!

Posted this out of order initially, but unfortunately it remains relevant event 2 weeks later.

Life of Lamb #14: Breaking News
Yeah, I'm breaking my own rule and posting the latest comic, but this one honestly felt like it needed to be posted now, while it's still relevant to my feelings.
The recent news cycle has me emotional exhausted, and I felt the need to make a vent comic about it.

Life of Lamb #13: You’re such a Chick

This is one that I feel like I would revise now, I didn’t have the design quite nailed for Egg Lamb, and I prefer the design revision from Life if Lamb #15.

But you know, it was my first instance of dunking on my egg self, have to start somewhere.

Life of Lamb #12: Yall

So yeah, very simple comic, based on my eternal love for the word Yall.

I'm going to be so real, I think this might be my favorite comic I've made. It's a perfect mix of silly, simple, while still coming from a genuine place. I think it's great.

I have more comics planned around the premise of these two casually going on dates or hanging out, but my comics in the weeks since have mostly been spur of the moment ideas I felt I needed to make, so we haven't gotten around to them quite yet.

They are coming though!

Life of Lamb #11: Meeting Bear

So yeah, this was where I decided I wanted to introduce a second ongoing character to the comic.
I'd had a few comic ideas for a while that would have worked better if I had another character to bounce off of, so I have introduced Bear, based off my real life spouse!

Life of Lamb #10: Can't have 'Rainbow' without an NB in the middle

I don't even know what to add as extra commentary, I just thought this one was goofy and fun. I do kind of wish I added more things that screamed "I'm Non-Binary" but I had ran out of ideas and I thought that it was good as-is.

Lamb in a Jam @lambinajam.bsky.social · 27d

I kinda took the message away from this that the message kind of trumps the actual art, in a lot of cases. It was something a lot of transfems related to, and I'm glad that I could speak to that experience.

Lamb in a Jam @lambinajam.bsky.social · 27d

I'm not even going to lie, my commitment to finish the comic and the exhaustion from a stressful move met and the result was me cutting certain corners for this, but to my surprise a lot of people really liked this one.

Life of Lamb #9: Facial Hair

So the funny thing about this comic - This was the first comic I had made after moving into the new apartment, and at the time I was still quite tired.

1 2

Lamb in a Jam @lambinajam.bsky.social · 28d

The new apartment has definitely been better for me, and I think that the comic I made on the move was an important step for me to process my feelings on moving at the time, so it will always hold a special place in my heart.

Lamb in a Jam @lambinajam.bsky.social · 28d

For more context, I had lived at the apartment before this move for Eight Years. I had gotten extremely settled in, and leaving that place felt a lot like giving up safety I had gotten used to.

But the old apartment had many issues, not the least of which being that we had a huge rent raise.

Life of Lamb #8: Moving Day

I had put this together the week right before moving, as downsizing my wardrobe dredged up many old memories.

Life of Lamb #7: Gen Xe

So this one is fun given it was my first collab, uh, *ever* (Shout out to @deadeyedfae.bsky.social for that)

It didn't end up being my most popular comic, but I still look at it fondly just for being my first foray into collabing with another artist :3

Life of Lamb #6: Trans Men

So I made this basically directly in response to r/trans on reddit having an incident earlier in the year where a trans man was mistreated, and I felt the need to make this as a counter-statement on the situation.

I stand by the message though, even removed from context

Life of Lamb #5: Skin Routine

Okay so this actually happened to be the week previous to making this comic.

Worth noting is this is about the point where Lamb's design had settled into roughly the spot that it remains to this day, with the hair taking on the form that it has now.

Life of Lamb #4: Socom Deez
This comic was born out of 3 things:
1. I really wanted to do my take on a classic trans meme.
2. I have gun autism and wanted to draw my favorite pistol in high detail.
3. I thought the title was funny. I was pretty proud of my dumb joke.

Life of Lamb #3: Genderfluidity

I ended up throwing a simple animation into this one honestly just for the hell of it, fully intending to make casually tossing in animations more a part of my comics.

I haven't really kept to that, but I have a few ideas down the road which will involve animation!
