THANK YOU!! holy moly you all are too kind 🥹
Have a double post for just making my day <3
As dads, both Steve and Eddie are total suckers. They're pretty much guaranteed to give in to any and all whims their daughters may have. They will also, however, make them work for it, which is usually facilitated by Steve (and serves as prime entertainment for Eddie, who has adored watching Steve try to hold his own against smart-ass teenagers since they were teenagers themselves)
This is why Eddie is absolutely delighted when he walks into the kitchen to see that Steve is on the phone with their middle-daughter Robbie.
“Robbie,” Steve says, cutting himself off with a long sigh, “Just tell me why I’m sending you seventy-five dollars.”
With a grin, Eddie settles in at the counter. Steve rolls his eyes, pointing at the phone as if to say get a load of this.
Then his eyebrows fly up.
“You need seventy-five dollars to go get your nails done? What, are they gonna take your midterms for you too?”
She isn't on speaker so Eddie doesn't catch Robbie's exact response to this, but whatever she says is loud enough that he can hear her voice coming through the phone.
"Amelia Robin," Steve cuts her off, "I will think about it. It's time for you to start thinking about getting a job"
Robbie must make one last desperate attempt because Steve says, "Goodbye, my darling girl who only calls when she wants something."
Steve hangs up and immediately points at Eddie as if this has something to do with him.
"Sinclair's boys don't put him through shit like this," he says, "I asked. All they ever want from him is food and Xbox subscriptions."
"Must be nice."
"Remember when the only time she asked for money was for the Scholastic book fair?” Steve asks, “Damn, I miss those days.”
"You're still gonna send her the money, though."
With a resigned sigh, Steve says, "Yeah."

my brother just struggled to use two six-foot bamboo poles like chopsticks to pick up cat toys and play with our youngest cat, and then as he set the bamboo back down he chuckled softly and said "ahhh... i really just wasted those five minutes. i'm gonna be late for work" and ran straight out to the garage

this....was not supposed to be a full on illustration :S
was very much inspired by @sheep-turtles-and-pizza's lovely drawing of mikey with flowers in his hair
i was rereading somerandomdudelmao comic (again lol) so the hair matches more in that comic than algae like in the original design
i just...kept tinkering and adding to it and playing around with CSP brushes
would like to do the crypid version but i'm not good with drawing spooky stuff so i put all my self-indulgence in this
i hope crypid mikey becomes a fandom darling

In "tales from the front office..."
I have a varied and often interesting workday. Like today, for example, I led our 6 am teams call and then put on my rain gear, gloved up, and helped my team butcher crab that were returned from a customer. Then, after changing out of said gear and working on inventory and account reconciliations, our new CFO paid us a visit and we showed him the place. He is coo and totally engaged, but for the fun bits: Part of the tour was going to our (not up and running yet) 2nd shrimp production facility, which took me right by a printer I asked our tech team to set up for the new production document flow. And the tour just conveniently sauntered by the same printer where I sent this test page a few days ago, and forgot about it until we were walking by with said new CFO. It reads...
Of course, I folded it up rapidly and shoved it in my pocket. But somewhere, if the inspiration for this page knew, I'm sure this would be his reaction...
NICE WORK HIRSCH!!!!
(PS- if you got the reference without my big clue, thank you...)
