december always feels like recap time. here's my favorite set of comics from this year and the idea behind them. alternate personas play a large role in my thought process. for this series, i created an alternate version of myself, then made the comics as this person. ... https://hell.twtr.plus/media/5379dd2531ec14bb7ebfd881bc3f291148d8fb5b416dc178d42d2687f858dd4a.file

lore: i used this cat in the book. it's a real cat that lives in my neighborhood. my daughter took an extreme liking to him, so much so that her first word was his name: sticky. so now for the rest of her life she's narratively tethered to this cat who breaks into my crawlspace: https://hell.twtr.plus/media/7a9238c0d42ef70543179f888b268e24db5373f0893c97b45131a1489ec4d1e5.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/406a4c63b43c4e39413239e8fb772ed791dcc570bb3f500054a6905defbfd63a.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/bce8cc30e564c986a5378f5c12a26a6401ecc75f34ed868e270d59b47b8ab653.file

read once that theres a greek island where they believe there is something nefarious about being born on christmas: its like attempting to usurp Christ’s birthday, or making yourself equal to him, so if a kid is born on christmas they hide them and say they were born the next day

thats my tale. i really enjoy doing the holiday gifts thing as i like facilitating people feeling appreciated via gifts, which can often feel impersonal. so the main thing this year is the kids book. we got to #1 in our section already. linked again below. thanks for perusing. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/9ef7f14f05f7d6da0c6ba2edfca65b005974c81f77762f43af63ecb9a161e71e.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/ae970303152cc46f7f9a9d090b65f2f6b705ad395d1f758973641dc6d780fd3f.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/b1e79d1655546ed2e57525eaa525c6cb8930bf3c8e6713bc217e04ff260a26d1.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/81e689eada5a4911ed4a5bac0eb9a9b9a8342acb510512d8fdde79fa9f1f260e.file
