I think I was (poorly) channeling Tom Gauld a bit here with the drawings of the figures. The best thing about this is the drawing of the olives. Those are some convincing olives.

Was just thinking about all those neat turns of phrase like “you’re walking on thin ice” etc. and wanted to chain some together. Oddly, a big part of this was wanting to draw with a thinner line. Well… “draw”.

Naturally, we’d need the corollary to the classic “two men enter” concept. I like that fact that, without my input into the situation, the two men who leave, leave together, and, I like to believe, in love. I’m just happy to be a part of it, folks.

For some reason I got in a little snit about “A Softer World“. In reality, it’s fine for other people to make stuff I dislike, but I just felt like being a snide and thus a smaller, certainly not softer, person. See also: xkcd parody.

Always loved this as an expression – so very manly. But I wanted it to be less fatal, so I needed so come up with a solution. I also suspect there’s some vague referencing to Shrigley’s “Let’s Wrestle” drawing in here.

Recreation of an actual diagram I drew while talking to a thesis student of mine. It made me think of the “There, I Fixed It” website in its kind of sweet ineptitude, the way it kind of explains nothing at all.

This concept has been in my mind for years and years, since Richard and I talked about it back in university. Weirdly, it came up again this evening with Rilla, so I just had to draw it. Case closed. Now you knows.

Social commentary! No, not really. Though it’s true that Danes do leave their babies in their strollers outside in ways others can find odd. I mostly wanted to draw the image, since it happened into my mind at some point.

The stalwart comics standby: a familiar metaphor seized upon and over-extended. I was super excited to use the word “parallelogram” in a comic, though it was in a tooth-and-nail fight with “trapezoid” for a while there.

Despite the perhaps obvious wrongness of a cat drinking a couple of beers, this one makes me feel kind of happy for the cat, it looks like it’s living the good life. And it’s not like it’s a kitten.
