Hey just scrolled to your posts from the before times. I saw that your dog Huey is in paintings in that bedtime soup art. Does that mean that Huey is no longer with us?
Yes, Huey passed away from old age in 2020. It's so hard losing a childhood pet. I miss him every day!

if it's not too much trouble, can you also post the comic where you have a dream that goop visits you at a party? it really helped me after i lost my girl kaos to similar symptoms. (the predecessor comic about huey showing up is also very very good, i think everyone would appreciate it!)
Snail Diary comics about when my pets have come to visit me :) I know seeing someone you've lost suddenly in a dream can bring up so many rough emotions, but I hope you'll try to reframe it as them giving you a little visit and letting you know you're still loved.  Huey sends me a text:

Goop is the life of the party:

On the topic of pet loss, I drew this comic after my sweet Goopy passed away. I have a working list of art ideas, and for 5 long years at the very top of my idea list was “Comic where I take Huey and Goop to McDonald’s that ends with no punchline.” Every time I wanted to draw something I’d see that idea first, but always kept pushing it back for another time. When Huey passed away I thought about just deleting it, cause I felt like it was too late to draw it, and reading it made my heart hurt. But I couldn’t bring myself to get rid of it, so taking them to McDonald’s remained at the top of the list. Then, about a year later, I lost Goop to cancer. It came out of nowhere, and within two weeks he was gone. Almost all of my prompts were about him, I loved drawing Gooby. I was so distraught I couldn’t even turn on my work computer and face it. And when I finally felt good enough to draw again, there was that prompt staring back and me. And I thought, you know what? Fuck it, it’s never too late to take them to McDonald’s. If I can’t see them in life, I want to see them in art. I don’t want to stop loving them the way I do now. So, I took Huey and Goop to McDonalds, with no punchline.

I had a really intense special interest in boats as a kid and would read literally any story that had a boat in it (Moby Dick, Treasure Island, Bloody Jack, Emily Windsnap, Life of Pi, etc) and I want that magic back a little… I might become a boat fan again here’s a poem I wrote when I was 7 about what it’d be like to live on a boat

i hate roger eberts ET review where he says he wishes ET was sick for more of the movie even though i agree. i agree he should have been sick for much more of the runtime i just dont think roger ebert should have included that in his review.
in the home video release of ET youre able to rewind back to the scenes where ET is sick so i dont think its that much of an issue

I enjoy how the mentally unstable internet lesbians talk about Joan of Arc like she's Laura Palmer

People tend to throw out the phrase "extremely specific kinks" as though that inherently implies something transgressive, but in my experience, the overwhelming majority of extremely specific kinks are so innocuous that you could see them in public and not even clock them. For every person who can only get off to having their nipples electrocuted, there are a dozen who are volcanically aroused by seeing their partner wearing one specific pair of socks.

So I've been making marionette puppets of my neighbors (I'm taking a class) and let me tell you my landlord/building manager was SUPER not prepared to see the wooden version of him (he lives on my floor) when he came in to fix my stove
Anon no offense but I think I would call the police if I found out one of my neighbours was making wooden puppets of me without my knowledge
