Sketch Comic: Not My Fault

Wanna see a magic trick? Observe as Toffee and Maple blow up their friendship in just one conversation! ✨

(To anyone worried- Toffee is going to let go immediately, somewhat horrified at himself. All he leaves Maple with is a slight bruise on her arm….and a shattered sense of trust.)

Lonely 2 (WIP)

Aw maple, ur life fuckin sucks

I was originally gonna upload two different (but related) sketch comics in one post, but I think I’ll post this comic all on its own~

Lonely (WIP + Content Warning)

Working on some Toffee-flavored sketches/sketch comics in which he is young and not very nice. I also want to give a content warning for this next incoming sketch dump. Although of course we’re not going to see anything explicit, and every character involved is an adult, there’s still gonna be discussion and exploration of uncomfortable topics, namely how vulnerable college-aged kids (Toffee, Maple), were manipulated into relationships predicated on massive dispariti...

Meet the Meadowsweets

Finally, a family tree for all these jerks

In 1980, young Eleanor marries her college sweetheart, Merry Meadowsweet. Merriweather is admittedly a bit of a bore, but traditional in a way Ellie decides is old-timey romantic, and ambitious, so very, very ambitious. Merry takes over their local church as the new worship leader, and Eleanor, ever the good wife, gives him two bright and talented children. The church grows steadily as the years go by, and the family lives a life ...

Mini Comic: Fine Dining

Haha, sorry for anybody who got the impression Bob and Toffee were a perfect wholesome domestic bliss kinda couple, cuz they actually squabble a looooot. They’re squabbly! But like, sitcom-style squabbly. Rarijack level squabbly. Where the stakes are always relatively low and feelings are rarely actually hurt, because Bob and Toff do genuinely love and respect one another. But Bob can be uncouth and obstinate, while Toffee can be fussy and particular and honestly almost as stubborn as his b...

Toffee Sketch Dump

A bunch of sketches exploring Toffee’s early adulthood. For context, this is all happening when Toff is in his early twenties, while Topher dis in his late teens. I’ll keep my notes brief and let the drawings speak for themselves.

1.) Merry and tiny tater tot Toffee, back before Merry’s church became a megachurch and their world was still small and simple. Merry always made sure to sit with Toffee before bed to either read to or chat with his very best boy~

2.) Toffee’s se...

Bedtime For Toby (WIP)

working on a big toffee sketch dump, here’s a sneak peek. ;3 the dialogue is fake, merry and toffee were actually pretty close when toffee was small. He was Merry’s firstborn and only son, and Merry’s church had yet to become a megachurch, so life was still pretty small and simple…..so Merry made sure to make time to chat with his best boy every night before bed.

You Hit Me Like The Sky Fell On Me

Can you spend a little time?
Time is slipping away
Away from us, so stay
Stay with me, I can make

The Father, The Son, The Horror

These were originally gonna be part of a biiiiiiiiiig sketch dump, but I started my new job this week and I’ve had less free time than I’d like, so I’ll be working on/uploading all my Toffee stuff in chunks instead of a big compilation. I hope you enjoy!

Merry remarries when Toffee is in his early 20s. Having grown tired of his too-opinionated wife Eleanor, Merry instead takes a shine to his young office assistant Maple, who is Toffee’s school friend and kinda-sorta-but not-real...

Make A Terrible Comic Day 2024

Tumblr has apparently decided that June 24th is annual Make A Terrible Comic Day, so I decided to dust this thing off. I had it sitting on the backburner because I felt the punchline was kinda ehh, but in the spirit of the holiday I must share it! >:O Before anyone asks, I’m not sure if this is canon. Probably just a one-off gag!

A lot of Honey’s general shittiness-as-a-person is intentional, but some of it comes from the fact she’s just kinda dumb. Dumb and sheltered. To her, ...

Quid Pro Quo

Sometimes all we need is a patient teacher. Perry and Tibbs see what they have to learn from one another, from all things algebra to chocolate chip pancakes. Perry also learns he may or may not have a thing for this gigantic man mountain fully capable of folding him like sourdough, but that’s neither here nor there. Perry’s a professional, after all!

Tibbs is not really in “crush” or even “attraction” territory yet, but there’s really no reason for him to be pressed up aga...

Mini Comic: The Offer (Part 2)

Woof! Comic making sure is a lot of work. Anyway, surprise! Tibbs has a criminal record. Not very surprising, given his past. Despite having served his sentence, he is still presently denied certain civil rights (eg. he’s barred from voting), and his record means many employers will not consider him (even if he had a high school diploma, which he does not).

Tibbs has a lot of anger and shame a...

Finger-lickin’ (WIP)

a slightly edited preview for the next comic page (no blushy tibbs on the actual page)

Part 1 of 2! >:3 Quick Tibbs, distract the dumb kity with food before he asks any more questions

Here we explore a young Perry and Tibbs, back in the beginning of their friendship. Perry was a science teacher at an all-predator middle school academy, where Tibbs was also employed as a custodian. Clicking over a shared love of music and 80s movies, the duo quickly start spending time together outside of work. Tibbs finds Perry to be A Lot to handle, but pretty good company all the sam...

No Accounting For Taste

Far be it from me to question why y’all like Perry’s crusty ass dad. Here’s a shot of him uncolored, since the finer details of his wrinkly skinny dad bod got lost under all his spots

 

Also included is Felix’s friend and protégé, Calvin Sinclaire. At this point in time, Perry is aboooout 4 years old, Felix is in his late 40s, and Calvin is in his early 30s. Calvin was hand-picke...

Meet Liv

Time for Liv! She gets two bio cards, cuz she's basically a completely different person in her youth. Goes from stepford wife to a really pissed off meryl streep. She is shown here in her first year of marriage to Felix, and then about a decade later, riiiight before his death.

Liv tried to be a good little housewife, but it just wasn't for her. Never was. She's too ambitious, too opinionated, too easily bored to have every been happy waiting around on some jackoff, even a rich lite...

Meet Felix

Felix gets a bit of fine-tuning. :3 It felt odd for him not to be a spotted cat like the rest of his family. He and Perry look a lot more alike now, something I’m sure drives Liv nuts

Felix is pictured here around the age he died. He was a man that desperately craved love, but refused to undergo the vulnerability and honesty required to find it. Felix is extremely arrogant when it comes to his creative work, but just underneath the surface he is drowning in self-loathing. As he...

Reading Recommendation

Because she was raised in a very sheltered space where she was often the smartest (or at least the most talkative) voice in the classroom, Honey has a teeeny habit of assuming other people aren’t quite on her intellectual level. Mal is Topher’s sleepy-eyed roommate who seems to be a bit of a layabout (quite typical for a feline, Honey thinks), but Honey likes her anyway, and would like to recommend her a wonderful introductory work from her very favorite author! Something to stimulate Ma...
