As the year comes to an end, I'm reposting some of the comics I made this year, including this ridiculous thing.
A six-panel comic. In the first panel, a yellow warbler says "Hey so I'm going to go out on a limb here." In panels two through five, the warbler hops along a long branch against a blue sky with clouds. In panel 6, it stops at the end of the branch and sings.

♬ Stuck in the middle with you ♪
Four panel comic with two figures: Figure 1: 'So how's mid-career?' Figure 2: 'Well... I wonder shy I get passed over for opportunities but am very afraid of taking them. I alternate between imposter syndrome and wondering why others can't keep up. I have the means and skills to pursue personal interests but not the time or interest to do so. I marvel at how far I've come and lament that I'm not further. I'm way more secure but worry about all kinds of things. I have the power to change the world but am far less sure it's worth it. So pretty good really?"

Every year I do a bonus Hourly Comics Day for my Patrons, and now it is live!

This year I chronicled a 5k Charity Walk I did in September. 6 pages!
www.patreon.com/posts/2025-b...
A panel from the bonus hourlies. 11:30am - 12:30am, 5k walk! In an inset panel, Jam is walking along the seawall. Narration: "Jericho beach is really pretty... They've done some nice restoration work since I last visited..." The larger panel shows some of the restoration work, including a nice viewing platform, a daylighted creek, some new wildflowers and protected areas. There is a view of the ocean and mountains in the distance.

Living with older teenagers is like living with strange nocturnal elves who are quiet all day, come out after you’re asleep and have a wild rumpus, and then when you wake up in the morning suddenly there are red living-room Christmas lights strung in the most chaotic fashion and you have no idea why

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
“Prohibited words and concepts: Equity, diversity, & inclusion; anti-racism; Bias; Critical race theory; implicit bias; oppression; intersectionality; prohibited discriminatory practices; racial privilege; promoting stereotypes based on personal identity characteristics.”

You olds don't need to hear this, but to you youngbloods out there, I come to you from the future: when the news begins talking about ways to save money for the holidays, rather than getting you hyped to drown in debt buying shit, that means shit is WAY FUCKING WORSE than they are letting on.

So saddened by the news that we have lost Alice Wong. It was an honor to know her and learn from her. May the lessons she shared continue to guide us for years to come.
Photo of Alice Wong, an Asian American disabled woman in a power chair. She is wearing an orange and black tiger-striped sweater, black pants, a bold red lip color, and a trach at her neck. In the background is a gray cement wall with greenery. (Photo credit: Eddie Hernandez Photography) This is Alice’s friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice’s wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

Noticed this morning there’s a harry potter audiobook nominated for the goodreads choice awards, in case you’d like to go over there and vote for literally anything else. This is a small thing, but potentially a tangible way you can help divert a little money away from JKR’s pocket.

Baby pigeon mystery.
My pigeon book is here: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/rosem...
A six-panel comic. In panel 1, text says "People often wonder, why don't I see baby pigeons? Here's where they're hiding:" and there's an egg with an arrow pointing to a question mark, then an arrow pointing to an adult pigeon. Panel 2 says "Pigeons don't nest in trees. They nest in sheltered spaces on or in buildings. This keeps their babies safe from weather and predators." There's a pigeon nesting in a sheltered cavity in the side of a building. Panel 3 says "The hidden babies look like this: like moldy potatoes, but cute" and there are two baby pigeons looking, well, like moldy pink and gray potatoes with yellow fuzz. Panel 4 says "Older baby pigeons hide in plain sight. When they leave the nest, they're adult-sized, but they're still young and learning" and a fledgling pigeon is flying out of a building saying "aaaaaa". Panel 5 says "Here's how to identify these young pigeons" and shows a fledgling pigeon with arrows pointing to these features: eyes may be gray-brown, pale-edged feathers, smaller "nose" (cere), subdued hues, and looks worried. Panel 6 says "Scientifically speaking, though, all pigeons are sweet babies" and there are three very cute round pigeons, a gray, white, and red one, with arrows pointing to them to make things look scientific.
