Hey my mail sending zine/comic friends, did you know postage is going up YET AGAIN VERY SOON (as in a couple days)?!?! Thank you old man who can’t stay awake and smells like poop and likes to cheat and wants to steal more of our $$$

Dreaming of a damn good 7-Eleven pizza margherita today…

Is this where I reveal that I almost always wear “comfortable trail running shoes with built in plantar fasciitis friendly soles”instead of the good ole Chucks that I still usually draw on my feet?

One of the loves of my life, Japanese soft cream. This is from a comic I’m working on that will only be available via Patreon. And yep, I misspelled Yamagata.

I've been reading Carrie's @mcgrinch.bsky.social wonderful diary comix "You Don't Get There From Here" for over 20 years, so what a thrill to see this shout out for my comix "Reluctant Sadist" in her latest Patreon post! If you want to read the whole thing, then sign-up! patreon.com/carriemcninch

Drawing things.

I’m ready to toss out the few remaining Rapidographs I still have. They used to be my favorite drawing pen but the quality went to 💩/cheaper parts a while ago and never redeemed itself. For those that are into drawing pens, is there another one you recommend that has a similar feel?

Public post, please give it a look. www.patreon.com/posts/152258...

New diary comic page of my trip to Japan. Wish I was still there, sigh… (if you want to see more, link in bio)

New comic starting…

New issue alert!

Want a new issue?

Got more of these things just posted to read

I still like to draw with a dip pen and currently my bottle of ink (kaimei lettering sol) is drying out due to this winter heat wave in southern california. And yep, Trump tariffs have increased the price of this ink and made it more hard to find so I’m using a sharpie instead to fill in the black…

Laid out a couple pages for the next issue and immediately made a mistake (photo taken on the side where there was no mistake)…

Several confirmed sightings of a mountain lion roaming about in my neighborhood last night.

Issues of YDGTFH being mailed out to Thailand for the first time ever!

One little single solitary strand of grey cat fur getting in the way of my dip pen is all it takes to draw my dear Chu-hi as Kimba the White Lion (my favorite cartoon as a little kid).

The last of my diary comics from 2025 are now available to read

Now comes the pain in the hiney part of trying to follow a new diet for awhile. I know there’s some gerd people out there. Any advice, easy recipes or foods you really like?

Today is the day I give up cappuccinos/coffee. Can’t say I’m happy about this but I also want to stop coughing. GERD diet, argh!

Anyone have any tips on how to calm down a relentless hacking cough related to acid reflux?

Hooray! The latest issue (#71) of @mcgrinch.bsky.social lovely diary comix “You Don’t Get There From Here” magically appeared in my postbox today! #buycomix #readcomix

My only job/purpose tonight is to keep one grey cat warm and cozy with my body warmth while I sip on some ginger basil cinnamon lemon tea I just made. Now to find a movie to watch. Is the new Frankenstein worth watching?

Hey! New issue of my diary comic zine is out. 🤘 Want one?

Heyyyyy! New patreon post...

Somewhere in this folding pile of the new issue I accidentally added an extra page to one. It’s late and I’m too tired to figure out which 2 issues get the extra page and I plan to start mailing them out this weekend. If it’s you that gets one of these issues then consider yourself my lucky charm.

No. I should not have to hear straight up DHS propaganda and that evil little gnome voice while I am grocery shopping. 😡

Printing pages, hello emerging new issue YDGTFH 71! (diary comic/perzine/zine/comic/aging menopausal/mini comic/old school zine/parent caretaker/old punk/old goth/adventurer/pet sitter/getting old/etc zine)
