A Happy Thanksgiving Tale. A turkey hiding out at a ski lodge with friends. Where do you think a turkey would hide out?
This is the November illustration and story for my new 2026 calendar! So fun to make.

anthropomorphic turkey and badger sharing hot cocoa in front of a ski lodge. Text: They laughed and laughed, shocked at how warm they could be, sitting in the snow, even before filling their gullets with hot cocoa. But no one laughed harder than she did, making a narrow escape from fate for one more year.

I have been really enjoying ripping the invasive blackberries out of our yard. I am scared to find out what this echidna is digging for. What do you dig in your yard for?
This is from the back cover of my 2026 storytime calendar. angelabcomics.storenvy.com/products/369...
An echidna crouched next to a garden with a wattle fence. Text: The scent of fresh dirt was like no other. It invigorated her core, making her quills quiver. She was always looking for new reasons to dig. And her neighbors so often gave her good reasons.

Are you ready for 2026? I know I'm not. How in the world is the present so far into the future? I don't think I understand time anymore. But don't let that stop you from getting my first-ever calendar: angelabcomics.storenvy.com/products/369...
Text says, "2026 is coming. Are you ready? Play. Giggle. Breathe." Images are the front and back covers of a 2026 calendar, featuring a badger, bobcat, and echidna.

I am rather excited to use my first-designed calendar next year. Which is a little ridiculous on my part because I already bought two wall calendars (from littleclyde Illustration) and am trying to decide which weekly/daily planner I want to get for 2026.

I try to stay organized with a calendar, but I typically start lagging in July and then return in October. I use the empty pages for notes the next year. 🫠 So I designed my own calendar. You can have one, too, maybe get a frog stamp on your birthday. angelabcomics.storenvy.com/products/369...

Talk about a capsule wardrobe. 1600s sailors were rocking that look with 6 changes of clothes, just enough to give their clothes time to dry.
Originally made for issue 1 of Flying Dodo Magazine: magazine.angelabcomics.com/eye-candy/sa...
Sailor's Sea Chest: woolen pullover with hood, woolen knee-length trousers, long wool stockings, knitted cap, shoes (though barefoot on deck) Six changes of cloths to allow for drying. Watercolor illustrations of three of each item plus a fife. Also, fiddle, fife, or tin whistle perhaps.

I learned from this embroidered watercolor map of Mauritius that a 12-inch square is too big to embroider comfortably. But it turned out so well! So this is probably the largest embroidered watercolor I will ever make.

Who doesn't love the lovely variegation of loose watercolors? This is a map of Mauritius, and I have embroidered only the waterways. I posted about the whole process here: magazine.angelabcomics.com/eye-candy/ma...

HAPPY FRIDAY! My first encounter with a bobcat after moving to the Sonoran Desert. Right outside my bedroom window. The dogs sat up & growled & I tried to move so slowly as I grabbed & focused my phone. It started to feel like we were the zoo animals behind glass as we were being studied. #Bobcat

Made a new autobio comic about making art with @dylanmeconis.bsky.social's five year old kid!

I also got a bit sentimental in the blog part because in the TWO DECADES I've been drawing Dylan in my comics, this is the first time I drew her as a mom 🥲

Patrons only:

A Great Artist by Erika Moen, published October 24, 2025 on patreon.com/posts/141989182 The comic is illustrated with a textured pen line and grainy, watercolor paper texture with a limited palette of ranges and browns. Panel 1: Narration: Every first Saturday of the month is Erika 'n' Rebecca Day. "Erika!" Rebecca shrieks in delight, jumping in the air. She is a five-year-old white child with longer-than-shoulder-length orange hair and poofy bangs covering her forehead. She wears a long shirt that ends with a ruffle, leggings, and light-up sneakers. Behind Rebecca stands her moms, Katie and Dylan, who also hold her one-year-old brother. Katie has curly short orange hair, glasses, and sports a sweater vest with slacks. Dylan has a spikier short dark haircut, horn-rimmed glasses, and wears a long-sleeved shirt over leggings. "Hey Rebecca! Dylan! Katie!" Erika exclaims. Erika has poofy bangs, tattooed arms, and wears a black t-shirt. Panel 2: Narration: Usually we walk to get gelato but- "Aw dang, it's gross outside." Erika bemoans, looking out the window at the pouring rain. "Let's draw!" Suggest Rebecca, undeterred. Text: Read the rest on patreon.com/ErikaMoen

TODAY'S COMIC: The Hodgepodge Dog Lodge, episode 6
PANEL 1: OSO, the fawn pug, stands talking to DIGBY, the brown dashchund. The white pomeranian is bouncing above DIGBY, and the fawn great dane towers above them all. OSO: WE CAN DO THIS, GANG> We can take care of ourselves. PANEL 2: OSO turns to talk to the white with black spots pitbull, and large brown fluffy chow-chow. OSO: If we hear a noise, we bark once. Not a panic bark. Just a bark to let the noise know WE can make a noise, too. PANEL 3: The pitull pipes up, worried. OSO responds. PITBULL: And if the noise continues…? OSO: We bark again. Twelve times. Or potentially nintey-eight. We read the room. PANEL 4: The white pomeranian bounces with another question, OSO cringes at the thought. POMERANIAN: And if the noise gets scary?? OSO: WE GO TO A DIFFERENT ROOM. That’s just science. It’s how I handle the trash truck! ——— Want 5,000 more comics like this?

Let me clarify. My prompts were Firefly and otter for #inktober. Where is the Firefly you ask? Well, my shetland pony when I was a kid was named Firefly! So of course u had to use him as inspiration. He was a sweetheart.

I love reading usually but have not been able to make myself read much lately, despite a huge pile of library books. At least this adorable sloth still likes to read. #inktober for buttons + sloth

Wooot-woot! It's a party! Dancing the night away! Or even the afternoon. Another tough #inktober prompt: blast + Fox. So I went with having a blast! I love his little sweater.

Little pumpkin head is going to be caught in the crossfire it looks. That's a falcon zooming at a crow. Rivals + falcon for #inktober. But mostly I wanted to make this adorable pumpkin head. I even pulled out some rubber boots to draw from life! From at least 8 pairs. How many you got?

I adore this. The little face and the little frame. It's a yeti wearing a jacket (as human camo). My #inktober prompts were Arctic and tiger but boy was that not inspiring me. I kept going and somehow made my way here. I do so love cryptids. I almost did a tiger striped polar bear.

SLAP!! Unicorn can slap anyone. The prompt was deal and unicorn and all I could think was a handshake but that bored me. So I made this that you could stamp on photos! I'll find some photos to stamp. Who would you have the unicorn slap?

I have chalk ink pads that are fun. So I'm trying to get them to layer well. Here's an attempt. The prompt for my#inktober was ornate + koi. So koi pond! In this one, I used the grapefruit color for the koi.

I'm sure this joke has been done a million times but this is cracking me up. The little potted plants and the mailbox really cap it off for me. Blunder + turtle for #inktober . The shell is based on a box turtle.

Trunk and dragonfly for #inktober. I sketches a bunch of trunks and then ended up using it as inspiration for a folk art dragonfly. I used a different base (speedy carve). It is crumblier than the pink stuff (speedy cut). Softer, which is good for my wrists but less loving of detail.

Did you have a raggedy Ann doll as a kid? I inherited two, one very old and decrepit and the other newer. This prompt was ragged + antelope. The dik-dik is the cutest little antelope. And you can see in the sketches I didn't know what to do for ragged. I even drew up a quick "pattern."

You know, I suppose she needs a name. I'm thinking . . . Vazag. Vazgen is an Armenian name, possibly from Persian vazagh, meaning "frog, toad," combined with a diminutive suffix. According to Behind the Name.com, I love that site. Here she is after falling asleep in a chair reading Beatrix Potter.

Happy wolf with warm drink. There're a few things I would change on this where I carved away a little too much, but for the most part, I love it. What a happy face! Cup was based on a picture of a smoky machala chai, but I'd rather have hot cocoa. What warm drink would you hold in mittens? #inktober
