I started this comic as a challenge to myself to create something new when the rest of my life seemed to be stuck. I try to create things that I enjoy, which means lots of books, cats, spiders, and general coziness. I've been grateful to have a little corner of the internet to put spiders in tea cups and write ghostly proposals.

As long as I have a blanket and book, and a cat, it’ll be a perfect day

I started the comic when I was struggling with depression and a couple other things in my life. I hadn't drawn in a long time and I wanted to get back into it, so I thought a comic would be a way to encourage myself.

    I spend about two to three hours a week brainstorming. Oftentimes after I brainstorm I'll send my ideas to a friend to see if it's actually funny. Then finishing the drawing is another 1-2 hours.

    The best part of drawing comics is having a little space to try out jokes and make something. I'm glad that other people enjoy them, too.

    I've been a fan of comics for a long time, so it was always a dream to create something similar. I'd be here all day if I listed all my favorites, but a few of my top ones are JL Westover (Mr. Lovenstein), Chris McCoy (Safely Endangered), Zach Stafford (Extra Fabulous) Sarah Andersen, and Hannah Hillam.

    I hope people enjoy the comic. It's been fun to make, so as long as people keep enjoying it I'll keep making it. It's always great to hear when a comic really hits home. Thanks to everyone who's stopped by.

    All my fish came from the "feeder fish" tank. They were my rescue fish, saved from being eaten by their bigger counterparts.

    Quick tip: Dryer lint is INCREDIBLY flammable! Be cautious around certain temps whilst gathering dryer lint.

    Add "infinite list of school assignments you need to make up." I'm sick now and I'm scared of going back to school after missing a week. I think I'm failing 4 classes now

    Personally I love my birthday, but only because I'm still young enough that people get me cool stuff that I actually like. Shoutout to my big bro for getting me whatever I ask for, plus other stuff I never knew I needed!

    I'm not homophbic, but adding gay characters just for the sake of them being gay doesn't make a movie any better
