A Cartoonist and a Cartoonist and a Cartoonist

Like, as an annual thing." and then we all promptly forgot about it until Lucy was given the keys to housesit at this giiiiiiiiiant Ojai (California) home with a swimm...

Ok, so you know those hilarious little powder poof hats that form on Allium plants?

Wait, back up: do you know what Allium is?

So, like, as far as I understand, plants belong to different families, and eve...

Spider-Man vs. Teen Pregnancy

A reporter reached out asking Oh Joy Sex Toy for its input on how the ideas and messaging about sex education in this Planned Parenthood-commissioned Spider-Man comic on teen pregnancy from 1976 may have changed compared to today's approach to these topics. I wrote the following in reply and if any of it makes it into the article I'll hook you up wi...

Jet Lag Garden

Matt and I are back from our trip and the jet lag is a fascinating experience. It’s funny, he had a harder time adjusting to the time change when we went out but has handled our return to Portland pretty easily while I was/am the exact opposite. Help. I feel like my head is in a bowl of water.

We were only gone for ten days but apparently that’s all it takes for your garden to ex...

COMIC: I am turning 39 this month

Matt and I are on the road so I was reduced to creating this comic as my foremothers did in the Stone Age: with paper and pen and “scanning” it in by taking photos of each panel on my phone.

Content Advisory:

This is a comic discussing my own body-negative thoughts I have about myself as I’m tiptoeing up to middle-age.

Sketchbook

Dude, I finished my whole sketchbook in SIX MONTHS.

Normally I takes me over a year and that’s mostly filling it up with lists and writing and I always leave a handful of the pages blank at the end before I start the next one. But this one?

W-A-L-K (Garden Update)

In the mornings I take Tig out on her promenade, which is her daily W-A-L-K around the backyard in her harness and leash. Matt always spells out W-A-L-K when he asks if The Madame (Tig) has gone outside yet, because the dogs he grew up with understood the word "walk" so his family would say DOUBLEYEW-AYE-ELL-KAY to keep the pups from amping up. Tig does no...

OJST: Thanks For Finding Me Again by Hien Pham

https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/thanks-for-finding-me-again-hien-pham/

Fucking Christ, Hien Pham hits it out of the park. Again. 

And then I looked at my hand. And then I fainted.

When I was about eighteen years old, I fell off my roof. Normally I climbed the fence to escape to my safe, beautiful sunny spot, but this time my cousin was visiting and I thought it would be safer for us to use the ladder, since she didn’t have practice scaling the fence the way I did. Unfortunately, I didn’t have practice using the extending ladder, so I didn’t know to check that the latches...
