Happy Advent to you and your kin! And everyone else's kin too, come to that. As every December so far this decade, I'm going to do an Advent Calendar of beautiful and brilliant carols, with each day's added to a YouTube playlist and also to the ongoing Spotify one, now in its sixth(!) year. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Nap Comix #357 My boy is 3! I thought I'd draw him eating his favourite food (cereal) wearing his favourite clothes (pyjamas) and hanging with his best mate (Rufus). We love you so much, Henry. It's been a tough year but I only have to look into your big blue eyes to remember how lucky I am.

the good that you do persists in this world

Nap Comix #356 "Sleep when the baby sleeps" is a piece of advice I got approximately 8 billion times when Henry was a baby. I don't know any mum who actually took that advice. Let me know in the comments if you did! xxx Read all the Nap Comix for free here: www.rachaelsmith.org/nap

Every time I say “no way” just know I don’t mean it. I’m barely listening. I’m picturing a small frog with a job.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

#Tubs2025: first up, we've got this lovely little catch-up with @rachaelsmith.bsky.social who's had a HELL of a week this week, seeing her Kickstarter for NAP COMIX smash thru its target - congratulations, Rachael! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uae...

Nap Comix #347 New (perma)dress! ICYMI I wrote a 'thank you' Kickstarter post here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/fli... Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your support and love for this project. R xxx

I wrote a Kickstarter update here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/fli... TL;DR: THANK YOU!

Thank you so much!! Xxx

If you have a kid, or have been a kid, or are dimly aware of the existence of kids, this is a great book. Rachel's work is always worth your time! These are the final hours of this Kickstarter. Do take a look!

Two hours to go! So close to £10k and lovely stuff!

This campaign finishes at midnight tonight GMT - get on this if you want to support one of the best cartoonists this country has to offer… and NAP COMIX is bloody great, of course! More info? youtu.be/OTpuZ07vHZ4

5 hours to go!

17 hours left and we just hit £9k! Please keep sharing and pledging! www.kickstarter.com/projects/fli... You are all wonderful and I can't wait to make this book for you!

It would be nice if you all could back this if you haven’t already, because I rather fancy the next stretch goal of a signed bookplate with every physical copy.

Nap Comix #346 How many cuddlies does your kid sleep with? Is this normal? ? We are in the last 24 hours of the NAP COMIX Kickstarter! If you've been wondering about getting involved please do take a look at the campaign here as it might be your last chance! www.kickstarter.com/projects/fli...
