I just put my Etsy shop on vacation mode. As a stay-at-home dad/self-employed writer and doodler, that's about as close to on strike as I can get.

Two panels. Yesterday and today. "Who run Barter Town?" Analogue watermark to mess with the pirates and scraper bots.

Everything's so heavy. Monkey Skull had to break character for a minute.

Comix panel featuring the skeletal fo of Monkey Skull. He says: "I'm struggling right now. I want to be productive. I want to spread knowledge, whimsy, and joy. I want to be useful.

The day someone calls me a "libt@rd" to my face I will laugh so hard. So so hard. "Libt@rd" doesn't even scratch the surface!

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT [a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision] "In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

Did this panel without a photo reference. Kind of messed up and made Polo Shirt Ben look happy. Was it wishful thinking?

Comics Panel with Polo Shirt Ben, a white guy with short hair and glasses wearing a polo shirt. A meowing cat sits on Ben's shoulder. Word balloon: "Long time, no see!"

And Monkey Skull's back. Not super happy with the lettering. Switched nibs mid word balloon and, oh well. Gotta keep moving, though.
Comix panel with Monkey Skull character. Monkey Skull says: "Hey, now. No need for shame. Just take it down a notch and we're good. And maybe do some square breathing."

Monkey Skull has a bone to pick

Today Faith Harper gave me an idea for a new revenue stream: Neurodivergence Peer Confirmation Consultation. So far all I've really done to get it going is this Charles Schulz fan art. Baby steps.
Comix panel in the style of Charles Schulz's Peanuts. A Peanuts-style Booger Bear sits at a lemonade stand with the sign reading: "Neurodivergence Peer Confirmation 5,000¢" on top. Below the opening it reads "The guy with a B.A. in Creative Writing is [out]" Thought ballons read: "When is Drew gonna get back? I'm not qualified to confirm anything!"

Here's the link to the webinar on Emerging from Neurodivergent Burnout I'm doing on Wednesday. It's sort of a professional development type thing, but mine should be useful for anyone who's curious.

Been a few days since I sat down with a pencil. Don't worry. It's just holiday family busy time. Not existential ennui.
Here's a little guy to lift our spirits, Chet, the Littlest Sasquatch! Maybe he'll end up on a coffee mug, or something.

Just drawing little guys
Drawing of several whimsical creatures: a frogoid, a karaoke gremlin, a worm reading a book, and a fish with legs. A phantom Monkey Skull shows through from the page beneath.

I did a panel today! Monkey Skull continues!
Comix panel with totally bald Discount Moby in a pose reminiscent of the foreground figure in Münch's "The Scream." Hairy Earl is next to him trying to tear his beard out. Discount Moby: "Not the Tot Tax!" Hairy Earl: "We are sore ashamed!"

Oh... habits... how to have good habits... when everything's busy and it's December.
Have a happy December-time, if you can.
Comix panel with Booger Bear and Drew. Booger Bear has his hands up in a quizzical expression. "Drew, what happened to that panel-a-day streak we had?" Drew, crouched over a laptop computer: "umm... not now. I got a deadline for a paying gig."

Bonus Panel!
A little sidebar from the Monkey Skull’s narrative. Also, procrastinating from editing the ADHD book. More to come on that!

Comix panel of Booger Bear, wearing a turtleneck sweater and holding a tater tots. Word balloon: “RELAX, IDAHO! I’m not really allergic to tater tots. But I will say just about anything to avoid being body-snatched by a trivia cult!”

Monkey Skull continues to have none of Hairy Earl and Discount Moby’s shenanigans. A penalty is exacted!

Oh boy. December is the season for crashing my social battery and needing extra recovery time. So, a couple days late, but here’s a Monkey Skull panel.

Comix panel with Monkey Skull saying: “Hairy Earl and Discount Moby.” “Settle down, or I’m going to have to disqualify you guys… again.”

Hairy Earl is having none of it. “Whatever Happened to Monkey Skull” continues…

Comix panel. Hairy Earl points his finger and shouts “Blasphemy” while slackjawes Discount Moby looks on and tries not to spill his beer.

It should surprise no one that I do not have a Spotify Wrap to share. But I can tell you I listened to my Tom Waits “Rain Dogs” CD on pretty heavy rotation this year

Today kind of got away from me.
Pencil drawing of Monkey Skull, arms raised, saying: “I had a plan.” “It just turned out not to be compatible with what actually happened.”
