I may or may not call my mom every time I don’t feel well.

I plead the fifth.

Best. Christmas. Present. EVER! Thanks, Mom! It has allowed many a nap times to continue.

Happy Holidays!!!

There’s an image floating around the various social networks about a teddy bear fighting a nightmare off with a wooden sword. It’s very endearing and perhaps one of my favourite illustrations right now.

It reminds me of when I was a kid. I wasn’t one of those normal kids who just had an imaginary friend like Drop Dead Fred. No, I had an entire neighbourhood of imaginary friends. A lot of them I also named after characters from Star trek: TNG. Don’t ask, not telling.

Within my neighbourhood of imaginary friends, I always felt safe. There was always someone else to talk to/play with, and they always had different ideas. One of them had to be a guardian angel, because I’m not really sure how else I survived childhood.

The teddy bear image made me think about them, and wonder if they chased the nightmares away for me. I also think my fuzzies do the same. Yin often cuddles with me until I fall asleep. I’ve also always had my stuffed animals, and my collection of dragons around for similar reasons. Kind of like the gargoyle superstitions (I have a lot of those, too).

Anyway, I hope this brings back fond memories of imaginary friends, pets, and stuffed animals. May we all sleep better at night because of them.

Hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday

I’m an adamant believer that “Christmas Spirit” is a crock of shit, mainly because you should be generous and “cheery” all year long. So, no matter what you’re celebrating, celebrate it safely and happily.

Why did the chicken cross the sidewalk? To confuse the HELL out of an Em²a, apparently. Not kidding, a chicken randomly ran by me in my apartment complex as I was walking the dog.

Never did I think I would utter that sentence in my life.

Thanks, Jesse, for deleting my last shred of dignity.

Introducing Jesse, my pretty husky pup. Behind-the-scenes story about this comic: I drew this on my laptop at Divinity Tattoo the day I got my panther head tattoo (one symbol left, then on to the designs! woo!), while my now-ex was getting his Imperial/Rebel yin-yang that I helped design.
