hi guys! this is a comic i made for a final in my comics in literature class. we had to do a research paper on a topic we’d discussed in class and then accompany it with a comic with a relevant subject. my paper was about hyper-sexualization of women in comic books, but i decided to broaden it out here as well as personalize it and make myself the subject and discuss something i’ve been subjected to in the convention circuit and on the internet as well as thousands of other women, as well as give a cue to thought about how the comic book industry as well as the video game industry and even just media in general (all of which are male dominated) push such ridiculous pressures onto girls and women.
also, it feels kind of silly to have to add this since i hope it’s obvious, but i am very aware that there are men that don’t subscribe to this attitude, and am incredibly grateful that these issues are brought to light to people other than the ones that are subjected to it.
anyway haha i have literally been staring at this for 9 hours i don’t even know which direction is up anymore. thanks for reading!!!
Fantastic.
Loved this.

Francis Alÿs, Nightwatch, 2004.
Surveillance cameras observe a fox exploring the Tudor and Georgian rooms of the National Portrait Gallery at night.
All foxes are cultured and urbane.
This fox has it all figured out… No crowds and long lines, no admission fees, just art.
Even wildlife appreciates art. You go on with your bad self, fox.

Love these!
Caught a clip on the news last night about this fishy epidemic. Rough waters for sure. Glad I live in the geographic location where I do given there’s less of it here, save for what may be occurring in restaurants. However, I know I will tiptoe around seafood cases because it can be rough to tell what’s what when it already comes in fillets.
I think I’ve watched far too many Food Network shows as I’ve been having this scary hankering to want to de-bone and fillet my own fish.
I guess it’s nice to have company.
I find myself asking izzy this all the time when she seats herself on the tubs edge. She has always been fascinating with water. She thinks she’s the World’s Best Dishwasher too…but in reality she’s more like the World’s Best Water Snorter.
I have possessive cats.
This is what I deal with between Izzy and Roz. Oh kittehs. =^_^=
The joy with which we photograph.

No matter how old I get…I’m always going to have this joy every time I take a photo with my camera. <3

In my effort to find footing with sanity again, I spend time gaming. It’s a coping mechanism I resort to when my mind is wound too tight to do much of anything else besides just trying to get through a day.
Tigers have been made special by a number of people in my life. I find I’ve started to collect striped things, have multiples stuffed animals, and other various tiger themed items. So, it’s no wonder that in conjunction with a few friends a Tickle Me Tiger crew was born in a mafia game played online.
And while many have laughed or do laugh at the crew name…beware, tigers on the prowl…and you best know how to tickle.

Um hello…you left me your beer Sir!
I certainly had the better deal, but really I wanted the cheese and juice we’d purchased. So, here I am again…sitting…waiting…
…and hoping I don’t have to yell: Hands off my basket ya damn dirty ape!!!!
I’m sure I wouldn’t -really- yell that…maybe.
