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.

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.

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!

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.

Sorry I'm late with Nap Comix! I'm hoping to catch up this evening. I was in hospital most of today. Everything OK, docs think it was complications from the miscarriage. It's been a tough day. Very grateful for family and support from folks like you. xxx
