We are living in crazy times, and every day, it only seems to get crazier. Like many people, around March of 2020, I found myself facing a myriad of anxiety-inducing situations. Besides a deadly pandemic, a stay-at-home order, and a lack of toilet paper, my work had informed me that I was going to be laid off soon and I was also now in charge of homeschooling my nine-year-old son. To make matters worse, social distancing regulations had now cut me off from the majority of my coping mechanisms. As far as I could see, my options were either to drink away my problems or draw them. For better or worse, I chose to put pen to paper.

From my anxieties sprung forth a series of one-panel comics that found humor in all of the insanity surrounding me. The main character is Grim, a cute grim reaper who is simply trying to deal with the pandemic, natural disasters, and cultural clashes of our modern-day apocalypse. Logically, I named the series Grim Days and started sharing it with friends and family on Facebook. Now Grim's adventures are available for everyone to follow. Check out the links below!

No worries, Grimmy! We’re not judging anyone who’s wearing pajamas all day anymore, because we ALL are—-we just throw a suit jacket on over them for Zoom meetings. There are two kinds of people working from home right now: those who are working in their jammies or sweats (next door to pajamas), and liars.

    Try saying it as a positive, not a "not" statement. so instead say " I am keeping my hands away from my face". Also try holding something, worry beads, knitting , a magazine, whatever feels appropriate. Some have found success with wearing a rubber band / hair band on both wrists and training themselves to fiddle with that instead.

    lets see... thanksgiving day dinner... with my grandmother, and step-grandmother, after my grandfather (their ex-husband and husband, respectively) had died. Or... the turkey-day several years ago, where my SIL invited her mother, who turned around and invited the rest of their extended family. I was planning on a dinner for ten or so. They brought an extra forty... and the only food they brought was one pan of green bean cassorole, which looked like some sort of re-fried vomit... and smelled like the plague.

    Well, between the pandemic, never ending wars in the Middle East, climate change triggering wildfires out West, floods down South, and extremely destructive derichos in the country’s “breadbasket“ (which also supplies a lot of the world, so can contribute to shortages and eventual famine), and as of today (8/26/2020), 828,627 deaths worldwide—-183,529 in the US alone—-we now have all four horsemen. If we don’t reset our priorities and get this s**t under control soon, we stand a really good chance of seeing something like an apocalypse. I’m just not sure what exact form it may take.
