<p>I was sick this weekend and didn't find the Manchester United match to be particularly inspiring and thus, there was no drawing. Anyway, perfect boy Kai Havertz is back and everything is now right with the world again.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://www.poorlydrawnarsenal.com/content/images/2026/01/Untitled---January-28--2026-15.37.png" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="2000" srcset="https://www.poorlydrawnarsenal.com/content/images/size/w600/2026/01/Untitled---January-28--2026-15.37.png 600w, https://www.poorlydrawnarsenal.com/content/images/size/w1000/2026/01/Untitled---January-28--2026-15.37.png 1000w, https://www.poorlydrawnarsenal.com/content/images/size/w1600/2026/01/Untitled---January-28--2026-15.37.png 1600w, https://www.poorlydrawnarsenal.com/content/images/2026/01/Untitled---January-28--2026-15.37.png 2100w" /><figcaption><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">perfect boy Kai Havertz scores</span></figcaption></figure><p><strong>React to this drawing</strong></p><p><a href="https://a.feedletter.co/s/0ff1e7ff-4f03-4fbd-8ffb-79ed1ecfb801/1"><strong>👍👍👍</strong></a><strong> - </strong><a href="https://a.feedletter.co/s/0ff1e7ff-4f03-4fbd-8ffb-79ed1ecfb801/2"><strong>👍👍</strong></a><strong> - </strong><a href="https://a.feedletter.co/s/0ff1e7ff-4f03-4fbd-8ffb-79ed1ecfb801/3"><strong>👍</strong></a></p><div class="kg-card kg-signup-card kg-width-regular " style="background-color:#F0F0F0;display:none"> <div class="kg-signup-card-content"> <div class="kg-signup-card-text kg-align-center"> <h2 class="kg-signup-card-heading" style="color:#000000"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">Sign up for Poorly Drawn Arsenal</span></h2> <p class="kg-signup-card-subheading" style="color:#000000"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">Join 10K+ subscribers that get an email after every match</span></p> <div class="kg-signup-card-fields"> <input class="kg-signup-card-input" id="email" type="email" required="true" placeholder="Your email" /> <button class="kg-signup-card-button kg-style-accent" style="color:#FFFFFF" type="submit"> <span class="kg-signup-card-button-default">Subscribe</span> <span class="kg-signup-card-button-loading"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="24" width="24" viewbox="0 0 24 24"> <circle cx="4" cy="12" r="3"></circle> <circle cx="12" cy="12" r="3"></circle> <circle cx="20" cy="12" r="3"></circle> </svg></span> </button> </div> <div class="kg-signup-card-success" style="color:#000000"> Email sent!

I haven't worked out the date just yet, but I'm thinking you donate a certain amount and I will draw your pets on stream. Everything I make from that (and the shop if you want to donate, don't have pets, but want to get something in return) will go to charity. If that sounds up your alley, <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/poorlydrawnarsenal" rel="noreferrer">follow me on Twitch</a>. </p><p>I haven't streamed in roughly five years, but feeling the urge to put some good into the world. I'll keep you informed of a date when I figure out how computers work again and all that.</p><hr /><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://www.poorlydrawnarsenal.com/content/images/2024/04/Untitled---April-12--2024-08.59-3-1.jpg" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="544" srcset="https://www.poorlydrawnarsenal.com/content/images/size/w600/2024/04/Untitled---April-12--2024-08.59-3-1.jpg 600w, https://www.poorlydrawnarsenal.com/content/images/size/w1000/2024/04/Untitled---April-12--2024-08.59-3-1.jpg 1000w, https://www.poorlydrawnarsenal.com/content/images/size/w1600/2024/04/Untitled---April-12--2024-08.59-3-1.jpg 1600w, https://www.poorlydrawnarsenal.com/content/images/2024/04/Untitled---April-12--2024-08.59-3-1.jpg 2000w" /></figure><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://www.poorlydrawnarsenal.com/content/images/2026/01/IMG_4317.jpg" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="2667" srcset="https://www.poorlydrawnarsenal.com/content/images/size/w600/2026/01/IMG_4317.jpg 600w, https://www.poorlydrawnarsenal.com/content/images/size/w1000/2026/01/IMG_4317.jpg 1000w, https://www.poorlydrawnarsenal.com/content/images/size/w1600/2026/01/IMG_4317.jpg 1600w, https://www.poorlydrawnarsenal.com/content/images/size/w2400/2026/01/IMG_4317.jpg 2400w" /><figcaption><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">It snowed here</span></figcaption></figure><h2 id="books">Books</h2><p>Because I was sick and then immediately had two snow days in a row to start this week, I finished three books since my last update.</p><p>Reading<br /><em>North Woods </em>by Daniel Mason<br /><br />Recently finished<br /><em>Slaughterhouse Five</em> by Kurt Vonnegut<br /><em>Killers of the Flower Moon</em> by David Grann<br /><em>Carl's Doomsday Scenario</em> by Matt Dinniman</p><p><a href="https://www.poorlydrawnarsenal.com/books/" rel="noreferrer">Here’s a running list of the books I’ve read so far with a one sentence review and a score out of five.</a> </p><div class="kg-card kg-callout-card kg-callout-card-yellow"><div class="kg-callout-text">Poorly Drawn Arsenal is free, but there are other ways to support what I do.<br /><br /><b><strong style="white-space:pre-wrap">Share the newsletter:</strong></b> tell your friends (or your enemies) about it.<br /><br /><b><strong style="white-space:pre-wrap"> Buy some merch: </strong></b>I put a lot of my drawings onto <a href="https://shop.poorlydrawnarsenal.com/" rel="noreferrer">shirts, mugs, posters, stickers, etc.</a> This helps keeps the lights on at PDA Headquarters and you get something in return.
