As a kid, I desperately wanted a dog so I would draw and write comics about a girl and her dog. When I was in high school, I would draw and write comics about my friends and the boys I had crushes on. After high school, I stopped making comics for a long time. I can't put my finger on why exactly, but I lost focus on a lot of things I loved in my late teens.

In 2019, a local bar/arcade hosted a comic competition for Halloween. I entered and was awarded "most horrifying" for a comic about a dentist pulling out an unwilling patient's teeth before putting them in his own mouth. Pretty gross, right?

Drawing my first comic in years was the spark that reignited my love for the art form. From there, I started drawing punny Pokémon-themed comics and then eventually comics about my daily life. After weeks of drawing a character that looked a lot like myself, I came up with my green-haired space bun design and the rest is kind of history.

My best ideas always come to me right as I'm drifting off to sleep—I think the human brain is at peak absurdist when between awake and asleep (and a little tipsy).

Ah I love it when someone in the group cares about what I'm saying, I'm a polite person so I don't talk over others but people do that to me a lot.

Victoria? 😨 Congrats for getting rid of that nasty outbreak! ❤️ Wherever you are, I hope you got to celebrate your birthday properly after it ended. After New Zealand’s main outbreak, we only had a short one, in Auckland, with a two-week lockdown in mid to late August. Guess when my birthday is and where I live? 😂 But Trump gave me a special comedy show for my birthday. He said hilariously stupid things about our resurgence, so I got to laugh at both that and Jacinda’s low key snarky response, which she delivered without once breaking her “be kind” persona.

I love spending my birthday by myself. In the past, I try to accommodate people but it’s my birthday and it didn’t make sense to bend over backwards to please everyone. It’s been a tradition and not meant to be hurtful.

Sorry, it really sucks. I hope 2022 would be the year we celebrate each other just because...and cake is always a good excuse to get together.

Bras are just masks for breasts. But not masking your breasts doesn't risk anyone's health. Wear a mask, ditch the bra.

I was across someone's table and that person hit me in the head when he tried to grab it with chopsticks. He squeezed it too hard and it let go and hit me...
