“Why Not Both?”
Today’s illustration. Not sure what it means, but I had fun drawing it.
Cartoon illustration of Drew and Booger Bear standing beside a giant frog statue. Drew says: “This is new.” Booger Bear says: “Should we fear it? Or worship it?”

Ooops. Yesterday didn’t happen. But I did get 2 panels done the day before. I guess it all evens out. Here’s the final panel, panel 18, of “Help?!”
Of course the story will continue. But Monkey Skull’s been waiting in the wings for a couple weeks. Gotta get back to that dude.
#comix
Comix panel with Drew giving Booger Bear a side hug. Drew, word balloon: “The people you build authentic community with can actually be way more helpful than any government agency. Just try not to accidentally join a cult.” Booger Bear, thought balloon: “Woah! When did Drew become a hugger? I’ve been asking for a hug for years!”

Comix panel with Booger Bear and Drew. Drew says: “There are all kinds of things. From friends and family, to non-profits and faith-based orgs, to grassroots advocacy groups. I’ve been pretty lucky in that I’ve always had strong family support. (Even when they didn’t understand.)”

“Help?!” Panel 13. Behold the disability services bureaucrats.
#PanelADay
Comics panel with two disability services bureaucrats. Caption: “And then there’s all the bureacratic skepticism that gets applied to people with invisible disabilities like ADHD, ‘low support needs’ autism, MS, fibromyalgia, and many others.” Bureaucrat 1: “Excellent work filling out the forms.” Bureaucrat 2: “But we just don’t see you as disabled.”

“HELP?!” Panel 9. It’s gonna be a busy weekend. I’m going to try to stop by the Portland Zine Symposium. @pdx_zines But, you know. Life with a toddler makes things logistically interesting. (Full disclosure, I am not the toddler in question)
Comix panel. Booger Bear, with swirls in his eyes and arms thrown wide, says: “Next you’re going to tell me that these laws also depend on the WILLINGNESS of government officials to UPHOLD them!”

Help?! Panel 8. I started thumbnailing the next Monkey Skull panel, but wouldn’t you know it, I got a more ambitious design than I was comfortable committing to in the amount of time available. Oh, time. If only I wasn’t trying to do everything all at once.

#comix
Comix panel, Drew, wearing his trademark flat cap and hoodie is looking a little unsettled. Word balloon: “Yeah… all that. Plus, people who can afford lawyers are generally the ones who can get laws interpreted to their liking.”

Panel two of “Help?!” If you’re starting to wonder if maybe I keep alternating between stories because I’ve got ADHD or something, you’re late to the party. It’s at least a couple different kinds of neurodivergent up in this brain of mine.
#PanelADay #Comix
Comix panel. Drew, looking a little downcast, says: “um… well… There’s what’s ‘supposed to be,’ and then there’s what actually happens.”

Don’t worry. The Monkey Skull story isn’t over yet. There’s a chance I’ll add a panel to that one tonight. But right now I’m at the coffee shop with my travel art stuff. That means smaller paper and markers instead of big old Bristol board and India ink.
We keep on keeping on.
