Saving all cardboard boxes is my superpower, and I have a box cutter 😅 What size would you like?

🥹 BEHOLD the mushroom soy-curl pasta with squash coconut cream sauce, which is not terribly photogenic

Moment of appreciation for the humble squash, whose delicious hefty seeds sustain us through the process of cooking the squash, which takes FOR-DINGDANG-EVER

Appreciation for this 🚲 drink carrier:
The adjustable straps will hold a 12oz coffee cup or a hydro flask!

There’s a panel that goes across the lid so your iced latte doesn’t spill out the top and get all over your shoes!

If you’re shopping for the bicyclist in your life, might I recommend a fun doodad from this shop*!

*always check with your cyclist for doodad type and color before purchasing

Today’s postcard: language learning
Watercolor postcard of a sunny kitchen. Naomi is putting dishes away. Becky is sitting at the table. Naomi (putting away a dish): I should learn a little Russian for my job. Becky (sitting at the table, looking wistful): I still remember one phrase from my cruise ship days... Shoulder Angel (bouncing across the table, holding up a phone): Pop quiz! Becky speaks into the phone. A caption box coming from the phone shows a Google translate page. Becky says a Russian word. Google translate says "fuck." Shoulder Angel (jumping into the air, raising a fist triumphantly): Still got it!

New Sauceome comic this week, because it's winter squash season!

(also, a little rumination about what's up in Chicago these days)

Roasting Winter Squash
It’s winter squash season! I drew this using butternut squash, but this method works for pretty much any winter squash: acorn, autumn frost, delicata,...

A sequel to my previous essay. Here's what happened the night a self-proclaimed fascist said he was going to come back and kill us. tl;dr I experienced the best thing in my 15 year career of performing.

You can arrest us or pepper spray us or whatever, but we will make you look stupid and feel silly doing it because wanting to assert control is stupid. You want to assert control? Do it to an inflatable frog!
So, it’s not just a meme thing, it’s a Portland cultural thing.

There was much rain at the street fair, but at least I looked good 🤷🏻‍♀️
Selfie with my face painted like a tiger. If I may say so, the tiger stripes look great with my black button down shirt with orange flowers.

🫣 It was jarring to see the unipiper unmasked and speaking! I was unprepared to lose the mystery.

He unipiped down my street wearing a hazmat suit back in March 2020 🥲

Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.

Conversation with hotel front desk after a few days of New York comic con:

Me: Hi, could I get housekeeping on my room today?

Clerk: Sure, was your room set to D&D?

Me: …Sorry, what?

Clerk: “Do Not Disturb?”

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON This cartoon has four panels. PANEL 1 A car and a pickup truck are pulled over on the side of an overpass. There’s an exit ramp with white and green stripes going across it, which in some cities indicates pedestrian and bicyclist crossings. The driver of the car, a woman in an orange top, is walking towards the driver of the pickup, who has gotten out of the truck. He's wearing a blue cap and a red tshirt. WOMAN: Hey there. I see you're pulled over. You need me to call for help?MAN: Thanks. I'm having the worst day ever! PANEL 2 A closer shot of the truck driver as he rants. His face is framed by two yellow caution signs with bicycle icons and arrows pointing to the green and white crosswalk lines. The concerned woman is behind him. MAN: I was just driving along and bam! A bike came out of nowhere! No chance for me to see it coming! Stupid bike riders think they own the road! PANEL 3 Looking worried, the man points to a dent on his truck's front grill.  MAN: I got a big truck so I'd be safe on the road — and see what happens? Just look at this ding on my truck! PANEL 4 From the ground in front of the truck, a hand comes up, forefinger raised to get attention. The woman is shocked; the man is annoyed. BIKER (weak shaky voice): Sorry to interrupt but could you call me an ambulance?MAN: Hey! It's not all about you! CHICKEN FAT WATCH Chicken fat is obsolete cartoonists' lingo for unimportant but amusing details in the art. PANEL 2: A highway sign says "Highway to Heck." The font is called "Highway Gothic."(“Highway to heck” is a reference to a Foxtrot comic. “Some songs just weren’t made for Muzak.” “Some ears weren’t, either.”) PANEL 3: The logo on the front of the truck says "Dodge SLAM."

I thought this image told a clear story, but people in the Facebook comments theorized that the cyclist who got hit by the truck must have run a stop sign and should have been in a bike lane anyway 🤦🏻‍♀️
Comic panel: A man gesturing wildly says “I was just driving along and bam! A bike came out of nowhere! No chance for me to see it coming! Stupid bike riders think they own the road!” Behold him are two yellow “bike and ped crossing” signs, flashing lights, and green and white street striping to indicate a bicycle/pedestrian crosswalk. I’ve circled the crosswalk and signs in highlighter.
