The great dragon migration

Duuuude I was so bone chillingly tired but was having the WORST insomnia so I hunted down Joizun's well of eternal sleep and took an itty bitty teeny tiny sip from it's infinet pool and now thousands of years have passed and the world no longer resembles itself in any meaningful way. The horizon used to be jagged with mountains but now everything is prairie as far as my eyes can see. My loved ones' furthest descendents are no more then dust in the wind - nothing of those I cared about remain. Even the stars have changed their place in the sky. And to make a bad situation worse, after all that I'm still tired! Give me a break >:(

The world in its entirety is new to you. Therefore, although you are the same as you were before, you are also entirely new. You have been reborn.

In your second life, find something to eat and something to drink (NOT THE INFINITE POOL AGAIN!!!!). That should take care of 60% of your problems. The rest will resolve the same way they always have: with time, and sometimes effort.

Some things stay the same.

Okay which one of you nerds solved my rubix cube?

Finished drawing up this new sticker sheet, Turtles of the Midwest!!! I’ll be printing them on stickermule as a sheet this coming week :))

bring back the habits that made you happy as a child. there’s no reason you should ever have to give up harmless things that bring you joy. you don’t have to age out of having fun. finger paint. write mediocre fanfiction and questionable poetry. put chocolate chips in your waffles. sing in the bath, and while working in the yard, and while washing your hands. hammer tunelessly on a piano. spin in circles until you fall down. climb a tree. just because you’re now in charge of your life doesn’t mean you’re expected to give up on the things that make life feel worth living

As a child, I was always searching for the meaning of it all, the big Why; and my father always said that there is no one big purpose but I had the most ripe orange today and kissed my cat goodnight, I think that's enough purpose for a day.

A short comic about missing someone you don’t know anymore but who used to mean a lot to you (and also she’s maybe haunting you, not entirely benevolently, as you drive eighteen hours back up the coast)

UPDATE

Hey, happy new year, punks!! It’s been a while, but I have some good news and some bad news.

The bad news is that I have decided to discontinue the Punks! webcomic. The support and feedback I’ve gotten from readers has been awesome, but I started that comic back in 2019, and it’s just not the story I want to tell right now. I have gone through some dark times recently (who hasn’t?) and I really want to tell a more light-hearted story. I put a lot of work and heart into Punks! and I won't take down the pages I’ve already posted, but there will be no further updates.

That brings me to the good news – I’m working on a NEW PROJECT! More details coming soon. You will recognize some of your favorite characters from Punks! (although they might look a bit different…) Thanks so much for your continued support! I hope you’ll enjoy what comes next!!
