one of the best things I have drawn.

New cartoon:

Good morning! 🪶

There was a new guy at Lenscrafters today. He wasn't sure why they were replacing my lenses. Then he returns from the back, hands the new glasses to me, "Yeah, those were etched way too deep, I have no clue how they missed that." The acknowledgement was nice. Still waiting to see what goes wrong

... lets see how lenscrafters fucks up the glasses this time. Yeah, I'm... a little annoyed.

I didn't realize how hard it was to read the tiny menu bars on my drawing screen until I switched glasses :|

I just want to say that... the three "your opinion matters" emails so far does not actually make me feel like my opinion matters. Especially when they auto populate fields so poorly.

As we celebrated the 10 years anniversary of the comic last weekend, we've decided to do a re-run of the comic! I'll be reposting the whole thing, one page weekly, on Mondays like we used to! The full thing is still all there on the website, if you want to binge-read it... 😉 www.thethiefoftales.com

That feeling in which you have the perfect image to send to a friend whose icon sits right there but whose meat form has turned to dust. You sit there staring at the digital ghost, bytes in hand. Hit send make the offering to the dead thoughts and memes one more number for the icon to bear.

When we said POCKET GALLERY did u assume we meant mounting pieces in weatherproof Art Blocks & hiding them around the city in yet another attempt to encourage you to explore (& fall in love with) #Lethbridge... ..or was that kinda implied...? 🤔

... the words, they hurt in the way that you sometimes need. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs--...

these little *grumble* Also, if I can photograph them one handed without my glasses on...

Oh hey, the "T" of alignment for the lenses Lenscrafters says are Fine makes a blurry spot at the end of the line when I try to read text on my monitor. Seriously debating ordering a sale pair from Kits in case the replacement lenses also have this fun bonus.

You're not weird for getting anxious about things going too well for too long. One of the most common experiences trauma survivors share is the crushing certainty that the other shoe is going to drop-- that we'll "pay" for having too many good days in a row. Breathe.

Sigh. I ... don't need new pens. I just gave away a bunch because of my own weird sensory feeback problems making something perfectly fine into...a nope for me when I draw. *buys myself some new pens to replace old ones and a new drawing nib holder and pencils for birthday* why am I like this....

It’s ok to cry when you’re hurt, even if you’re big and strong.

Well this sale is not going well..lol 2 orders in 2 days! Save 20% off our ENTIRE website! www.maritimetartancompany.ca Maritime Tartan Co and East Coast Lifestyle Retailer 28 Church St Amherst NS (902) 441-6721

The last irony is back when I was mentioning the transitions didn't darken as much and they argued, so I took photos and then settled for the replacement lenses... Is she mentioned how much less they tinted comparative to the other transitions..... *Headdesk*

So. My new glasses had four visible "T" markers that become like scratches when you are looking at a monitor. So back to Lens Crafters I go. "We can't keep remaking lenses for you." As if I enjoy spending multiple hour commuting to try and fix glasses you sold me.

Apparently I'm annoyed enough to type on phone in -20c

NOPE. There's laser etched "T" s in the lenses - one of which sits right where I look at one of my most used menus on the computer. FML

I have now entered my grandpa glasses era. Maybe these ones will work properly.

So, the beeping started at 7 am. Constant loud beeps. Turns out the neighbor under us ripped out thier fire alarm and threw it in the snow. this is beth's anxiety

I'm turning 45 this year. So uh, when do I get to feel comfortable in the meat suit I seem to be piloting around? Does the lingering sensation of wrongness ever stop?

The Lethbridge group is setting up several regular locations at local businesses, including The Owl and Founders Cafe, as well as McKillop United Church. Sign up online to be notified about a time and location near you! #abpoli #waternotcoal

And once again, It should not be a radical idea that all government officials, especially ones who make transit decisions, should be using public transportation for everything.

Bathroom insecurity, classism, and accessible travel are...thoughts today.

The bad haircut is dead, long live the new bad haircut.

I couldn't buy glasses I loved. I managed to find a pair of frames I hopefully will not hate?

I just want to say that the remarkable lack of variation in glasses frames styles in store, especially if you have a hard no to transparent resin (reflects light into eyes) or rhinestones/crystals/overt branding bling, is Ridiculous.

And my glasses are broken, again. Very not impressed.

The oldest known image of an owl: More than 30,000 years ago, someone skillfully scratched the figure of a long-eared owl (Asio otus) into the soft outer layer of the walls of Chauvet Cave, France. The owl is looking backward over their wings, head turned 180 degrees carnegiemnh.org/ancient-owl-...

With the warmer weather, more people are discovering these boxes! And I find that so wonderful 💖 Can I fuel my entire life on whimsy & incurable optimism? So far, so good, anyway. #Lethbridge

Bleh. Anyways.

the jitters and the cold flashes are not helping me focus, brain, can we please just finish this project before you stop working entirely?

Secure your own squid first before helping others. (I'm disproportionately proud of this drawing.)

How... did I survive having head colds all the time? Cause I am so not functional with this one...

A Tennessee library has banned a book where cartoon chickens model historical undergarments and I’m sorry, I need this on my shelves immediately and probably you do too. A History of Underwear with Professor Chicken by Hannah Holt and Korwin Briggs hannahholt.com/store/a-hist...

Sometimes I wonder about how teachers would have complained about me in privacy. Like "ugh, this stupid kid wanting to change things cause they're so entitled. They can't even present paperwork from multiple sources to prove need. And their attitude..." I had to fake human and my chest hurts today.

the joy of bad photos

damn what is wrong with me, i am having the hardest time concentrating on work, i lament as i compulsively refresh live feeds of unspeakable horrors

Believe in your art, bbs. 🎨🎭🖌️ Don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking it isn’t important. I didn’t think my art had value for the longest time, but I eventually learned. Keep expressing yourself creatively. It can uplift and inspire those who need it and unsettle those who deserve to be.

i heard we needed more whimsy so i’m here to get the job done
