A four panel, full color comic. In the first panel, a young Emily sits at a table in her room, idly coloring a picture of a field with a sunflower. She looks moody as she slouches a bit in her chair, lamenting "I'm so tired of being bullied in school...I can't wait until I'm older so I'm cool." In the second panel, from off panel, a voice says "Bad news, kid," which Emily reacts to in shock, turning toward the direction of the voice. In the third panel, present Emily stands in the room, dressed in a big blanket hoodie and crocs, holding a mug of coffee. She addresses her younger self with "We are definitely still not cool." In the fourth panel, the younger Emily reacts to the older Emily with an excited shout of "ARE YOU DRESSED LIKE A WIZARD," to which the older Emily replies smugly "Ok we're KINDA cool."

Also man, if I’m being honest, I don’t remember who you’re even talking about. So that’s a plus. 🧙 Thanks for reading!

A five panel, full color comic. In the first panel, a bed is shown, comforter askew and the morning light shining in through a window behind it. Narration begins: "On a day that begins with the news I'd been dreading for a month, it feels strange, callous even, to continue as normal." In the second panel, Emily carries a bundle of sheets down the hallway, looking exhausted. The narration continues: "But perhaps, in that way, even the mundane becomes infused with memory." In the third panel, Emily fills up the detergent cap. The narration continues: "So I do my laundry." In the fourth panel, Emily stands at an ironing board, ironing a shirt. The narration continues: "And I iron my clothes." In the Firth panel, a tree is seen outside, with the silhouette of the buildings on the street in the distance. The light is soft and warm. The narration concludes: "And I set out to find small ways in my day to remember you."

Thank you for reading. See you next week.

Killer Instinct

A full color, three panel comic. The first two panels depict birds, an American Robin and Blue Jay, almost presented as if it's a field guide. The first box describes the Robin with points like "Just a fluffy little friend," "good chance to be an orb," and "call is just a cute tweeting, what a musician." The second box describes the Blue Jay with points like "what a lovely gent, ooh what a sleek blue coat, a fancy lad," and "yells at you." The third panel is labeled "Red winged blackbird," and depicts a tree in the distance with a single bird in it, its eyes lit up and murderous. Emily stands in the foreground as the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Dio sound effect floats behind her, sensing the coming danger. The bird is described with just the point of "wants you dead."

An illustration of Emily from the waist up, looking tired but smiling, a tablet and pen in her hands. Next to her is the text "Steamed Veggies will return next week" and she cheerfully says "Thanks for your patience!"

Hey all! There’s no Steamed Veggies today, as I’m recovering from some travel earlier this week. There’ll be an update as usual next Friday. Thanks for your understanding!

Limited Energy

A two panel, full color comic. In the first panel, Emily sits slouched over on the couch, wiping her forehead of sweat. She looks exhausted as she says "whew, vacuumed and mopped the floors, cleaned out the fridge, took trash out, washed dishes...I think that's all the chores done. No idea where that burst of energy came from..." In the second panel, Em enters from the left side of the panel, adding in, "Procrastinating comic ideas this week, huh?" Emily shrinks sheepishly, with a little "noyro~n" sound effect coming from her, as she says "well..." and trails off.

I mean, at least I’ll always have clean dishes! 🍽️ Thanks as always for reading! You can support the comic by joining my Patreon.

A Change In Priorities

A three panel, full color comic. Above the first panel is text that reads "What does success mean to you?" The first panel is labeled as 2014. In it, a long haired, younger Emily stands next to a drafting table, with her arms crossed, looking worried. She says "Augh geez, I dunno...Prolly getting a job at a studio and moving to California...even though I don't really wanna move out there...and uh, as a generalist I can't seem to get hired." The second panel is labeled as 2024. In it, an older, short haired Emily sits on a couch, looking determined as she says "Look. Have you ever just, like--" In the third panel, we zoom in on her face as she closes her eyes and gives a cat like smile, wiping tears from her eyes with joy. She finishes her sentence with "--made a REALLY good sandwich."

Getting published? Snore. Adding a new credit to your resume? Booooring. Getting the good bread from the deli today to make a killer lunch? Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about. 🍞
