GoFundMe keeps auto raising our “goal” which is confusing but TBH we’ve got ourselves so deep in debt that l can’t complain. (We really did try to avoid doing something like a GoFundMe for far too long.)

I can’t fully express how grateful we are for the support folks are showing for our GoFundMe campaign. it’s all so deeply appreciated, thank you all so much. Things have got so bad, and it’s been so frightening. This is really going to help get us through. Thank you!❤️

I’ve got the windows open because it’s been so hot. Lucky!

An unexpected benefit to staying up late working: I get to listen to a bunch of coyotes yelling at each other somewhere nearby. I love their weird voices.

#girlgenius Hated to do it, but we started a GoFundMe. These are chaotic times, and no mistake, and all of a sudden we realized they were chaosing all over us. (www.gofundme.com/f/help-the-f...) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's one of the things that's been keeping me busy! In addition to the new cat medals, we have the limited-run collectible medals from the latest Girl Genius issues and some leftover medals and patches from earlier campaigns!

Instead of getting ready to stream tonight, I spent this morning finishing Phil's new Patreon site for his more spicy artworks. He's working on a Tarot deck, and that's the main focus, but we have some other card-themed things to show as well!

Now the water is mysteriously working again. The city map showed an emergency outage several blocks away, I’m going to guess that our problem was connected with whatever that was. Super weird.

The water has completely stopped working at our house. No idea why and it’s the middle of the night. These are not the adventures I had hoped for.

Kind of, the recipe calls it that but it doesn’t actually have a lot of honey in

I finished my paintings and celebrated by trying out my new cake pan! The Christmas tree is still standing. Maybe tomorrow.

I’m so close to having the second painting done, but it won’t be done tonight and I need to sleep. Here’s Bobo who should have been named Baldrick I guess, but he’s never had a cunning plan in his life.

I’m a member of the club, I’m afraid. Still swamped with work.

Does anyone else still have their Christmas tree up besides me? 😅

The cat is a terrible art director and has been fired from three major companies.

I finished one of my very overdue paintings! And turned it in! And the art director said nice things! And I’m under NDA and can’t show it to you so here’s Lord Percy Percy instead.

Ooooh, no, I looked it up! It was a reading for Meanwhile which came out in 1999!

Oh my that was before we had kids. It must have been something like 30 years ago.

Not…exactly how I put it, Phil. But it was a treat and a privilege to meet him. Thank you, Secret Garden book shop in Seattle for the opportunity!

#webcomics Jules Feiffer has died. An underappreciated cartoonist, playwright, author, and illustrator. Met him at a book signing. Kaja asked if other creatives gave him shit because he didn't restrict himself to just "one thing". He stared at us and replied "How did you know?" It explained a lot.

At least it’s archival. Ugh.

The problem is that the drawings are very detailed finished line art, so I can’t easily start over. So I had to do a bunch of repair. It should be ok now but it was stressful. Next time I’ll learn more about what kind of paper can take a wet wash, but I’ve never had this happen before!

Paintings still in progress, the paper decided to object to my paint and make me cry. Tree is still up. Here’s an angel riding a snail that we’ve had for so long I don’t even know where we got it.
