Preview pages from @theoplum.bsky.social's new upcoming comic, ' Ladies of The Living Princess': The Queen of the Underworld is dead, and the dead spill vengefully upon the living. A medieval haunted-house fairytale about weird girls winning.

Reggie the dog lives a cushy life in a cushy apartment. But when another human begins to spend more time with his human, Reggie isn't sure about the new development at all.

@pearlperoni.bsky.social's 'In The Eyes Of A Dog' is a delightful lo-fi BL meetcute told from the perspective of a dog.

Designed me and my partner as #tamagotchi characters 🍅

A tomato and purple bird like characters designed to be similar to tamagotchis lay on a crinkly white paper background, the words TAMAGOTCHI written in whimsy text around it

Same characters, above the purple bird it says “Fiancé” and has two bullet points “Hair Swoop” and “Bird?” Above the tomato character it says “Me” with the bullet point “Tomato.” underneath it
