This happened almost word for word. If anyone gets mad at me for making comics about fat jokes, this will be SO META. We’ll understand if you never want to talk to us again. But we’re going to make fun of you behind your back, and draw devil horns and a mustache on your picture [...]

My friend Carlie collects rubber ducks. We have rubber duck painting kits at the art store. Carlie and her sister recently adopted two kittens. You don’t have to be a writer to know how these different facts fit together, right? The nature of her birthday gift was inevitable:
EDIT: All of the art in this post is now physically in Tod’s hands, so if you want to make an offer on any of these pieces, contact him at coyote puck at g mail dot com (no spaces, of course). Thanks for your interest and participation! <3 you lovelies are the best. Today I’m [...]
This book just revealed why I love Susie Oh’s art. For every advantage gained from a particular system of representation, other possibilities are lost. Thus, linear perspective is only one of many representational systems and is certainly not always the most useful or appropriate technique. – John Montague, Basic Perspective Drawing, A Visual Guide (fourth [...]

“Chuckanut Falls” is really just a “Chuckanut fall,” and it’s not even deep enough to drown in. I’m pretty sure rich people have showers with higher water pressure.

Fun fact! At least 37.5% of my critique group is this immature. (This is the very end of our brainstorming session. My notes are scribbled under the busy lizards.) Thanks again, Spencer and Sam, for helping me figure out an important convergence between theme and plot. <3 Oh, and for letting me get this photo [...]
This was my fourth year at Rainforest Writers Village, and I honestly think it gets better each time. First I took the train down to Seattle, where I ate wild salmon chowder at Ivar’s (I’m not sure if the salmon were simply at large, or if they were flipping their flukes at a camera on [...]
I love Potlatch because it’s a cozy convention populated with interesting people who share one common love: books. I’m often invited to gatherings where the common denominator among the participants doesn’t excite me. Some of you know I’m not really big on QUILTBAG events, for example, because I’m more comfortable using hobbies as common ground [...]
