As a kid, I used to be the top panel. Nowadays, I tend to be the bottom panel. Ideally, I hope you aren’t either panel!

“Messaging” | #17 – May 31, 2023
Wednesday May 31st, 2023
Probably 95% of the time when anyone takes a while to respond, it’s the bottom panel. But even when we’re aware of this cognitively, it’s weird how our minds try to trick us into this 180-flip – depending on whether we’re the recipient versus the sender, haha.
The original title for this was “Texting” – but then I realized. How often do we still text nowadays. (Personally, I only really text when communicating with my parents.) I still tend to call Discord or Messenger chats “texts,” though, even though they are not technically the same.
I wasn’t sure if that would make this comic panel appear confusing, and I changed it to “messaging” after the comic was mostly finished. Do you think this makes it clearer/more accurate, or would “texting” have also worked?
“Pourover” | #16 – May 25, 2023

I started sketching this around when I first started becoming more interested in brewing coffee at home. Which, like many, was during the 2020 pandemic – and also, like many, was largely facilitated by the wonderfully charismatic coffee YouTuber, James Hoffman. Without intending it to, manually brewing a pourover soon became my morning routine – one I continue enjoying to this day!
This comic is also the first one I’m posting that was edited using Krita, a free & open-source painting program I’ve been trying out! I’m really enjoying it so far.
