Hey guys!!! Terrible day today. I am super hormonal for some reason, prone to cathartic bouts of sobbing, and luckily today is the day that my entire family has decided to use me for emotional target practice.
Also I practiced driving and I think I have the hang of it. I think I’m completely over my fear of cars, too. There’s something lovely about just zoning out completely while just sailing forward on an endless highway…

Another submission to my fanart contest, by Hippie Van! Check it out here! All you lazies who are busy wasting your life away, stop it and enter my contest! … …Aw, don’t listen to me, you’re great. (trying a new tactic- the ‘bad cop/good cop’ way.)

about this page: cue a flashback! readers of Misfit Assassins (which is on hold while I obsessively work on this comic) might recognize what has become a signature of my comic-style– flashbacks to terrible childhoods. Hah! Well, now you get to see the father before he grew his hitler stache.

Anyway, I’m going on vacation to San Francisco/Hawaii soon (leaving for DC tomorrow morning… hang out in the hood (or maybe Bethesda) and then Dulles airport!) so not too many updates till then. Of course, also there’s the fact that my comp is DEAD, in that it won’t turn on, and so I’m not sure how I can make my comic…!! I can do a few pages on Max’s computer, but I can’t do that forever. Guuuh. Hopefully I can get it fixed while I’m gone.

Ok, back to drawing.

I worry that I’m rushing through this comic!!! *slows down* getting awkwardly close to the end… (it’s breathing funny on my arm, weird.)

Ok love you guyz ttylz

ps: you like my Russian skills? I just used a russian-looking font and wrote the lithuanian word for Russian…
I should have written Ruski or something.
