One thing I hate about living in the future is that technology has advanced to the point where I can’t tell if a greeting card that is unusually fat will sing at me if I open it.
This probably would have been funnier if I’d actually figured out a way to convey that the card in question was fatter than the others.
Kim and Steven talked Adrien and me into playing through Borderlands 1 with them and this has been my experience so far! I never thought I’d meet a UI that was capable of causing me physical pain.
I also thought being a healer would be boring, but then it turned out I was the most important person in the party, so that was kind of cool.
Now if only I could stop dying.
This looked a lot less stupid in my head, but it’s a thing and I drew it so here you go.
I made the mistake of picking up Minecraft again, so I’ve been dedicating virtually all the time I could have been drawing to getting shot at by skeletons and failing miserably at being an architect. Time management is hard.
So far 2015 looks an awful lot like 2014, including the fact that I am at least a week behind the times!
We now interrupt your irregularly-scheduled comics to bring you a TEXT POST, because I was tagged by ruse-cruse to do this tag game survey thing and I don’t feel like drawing all this! FASCINATING I KNOW

Last movie I watched in a cinema: Oh lawd, I don’t remember. It’s been a long time since I went out and did things. I think it may have been Guardians of the Galaxy. That sounds right.
Dream vacation: Ooh, there’s a lot of places in Europe I haven’t been yet. But I wouldn’t mind going back to Japan again either.

I tag… whoever wants to do this, really. CARRY ON
This isn’t a true story, but it’s a thing I’ve thought about doing a lot, basically ever since Adrien made the mistake of doing something nice and getting me a DS for Christmas a few years ago. I guess what I’m trying to say is that when you’re thinking of things you’re thankful for tomorrow, you should probably take a second and appreciate the fact that I am not your girlfriend.
Unless you’re Adrien, in which case you should appreciate the fact that someone invented alcohol once upon a time.
Backstory: about five months ago, we got a new cat, Shadow (the brown one). She’d been in the shelter for several months, but she’s adjusted pretty well, except for taking an inexplicable dislike to our previous cat, Rusty (the orange one). Rusty’s been a beta kitty all his life, since he came to us as a kitten when we had two older cats, and now he’s basically just curious about her, never aggressive, but she’s having none of it and he doesn’t know what to do.
Anyway, I remember reading a National Geographic article once when I was a kid that mentioned what intelligent animals cats were.
Since then, I have come to realize that the cats they studied for the article were most likely not our cats.
