Botany valentine. Another oldie.
A four panel comic. In panel 1, there are three beautiful blooming roses, and the text says "Roses are red..." In panel 2, there are some lovely violets budding and blooming, and the text says "Violets are blue..." In panel 3, there are some terrifying red and flesh colored plants with toothy maws and the text says "Hydnora are leafless, bizarrely fleshy, and incapable of producing chlorophyl..." and in panel 4 there are some cute hearts and the text says "And so are you. Happy Valentine's Day"

One of my early cat paintings, "Grumpy Cat"! I thought a monochromatic grumpy cat with neon #clouds would be a fun combo!

Whoops
A comic about poppy, a magician dog. She is doing the trick where you saw a person in half. The person is a corgi, Dipper, who is inside the little box. Poppy starts to saw the box in half. But she looks in surprise when, instead of just sawing the box in half, it saws the entire comic panel in half. The right side of the panel, which includes the right side of the box and dipper's feet, falls over. From their narrow sliver of remaining panel, Dipper and poppy watch as the shorn off chunk of comic runs away on dipper's little feet.

Good intentions.
black and white sketch of a downed crow, arrow sticking out, feet comically in the air. A speech bubble reads "have you tried water?"

Uh... How many?
A six panel comic, three rows of two panels eaxh! A ladder extends from the fifth panel up to the second. There is one corgi in the first panel. He is joined by a copy of himself in the second panel, who has climbed up the ladder. In the third and fourth panels, two corgis look at each other, and at the corgis going up the ladder. In the fifth panel, two corgis start to climb the ladder. Corgis climb up the ladder until one enters the second panel. In the sixth panel, a man with a hat that says "dog counter" looks very confused.

New year's resolutions
A comic strip! The first row has two panels. We see the king writing his New year's resolutions down on a big scroll. The second row also has two panels. We see Hilde the sorcerer cat, standing outside in a field somewhere. She uses her magical staff to open up a hole in the border at the top of the panel. This causes the king's scroll to hang down into the fourth panel, allowing her to write extra resolutions on it using her big pencil. The final row is one wide panel. See we see the king looking at his scroll of resolutions, with an expression of confusion, like he is in the middle of carrying out a resolution that he doesn't remember making. He is allowing Hilde to fill a cart and wheel away a huge pile of treasure from the royal treasury.
