Ignoring the Prime Directive

Caterpillar adventures.

I have now learned that Gulf Fritillary butterflies have actually been known to lay their eggs on people, so it's possible that this was one of the wiser butterflies out there.

Baba!

Yesterday was my mom's birthday! Credit for the joke idea goes to her--she's been wanting to take a photo like this for ages, but we haven't gotten around to it yet.

(By the way, Baba au Rhum is a dessert.)

I'm back!

I've been away...here, at home, but away. We had friends come to visit (fun!) and updating the blog just wasn't going to happen. I do, however, have comics to share. So here we go! One whole week of comics, from May 27 through June 3. Enjoy!

Queasy Comics

The stomach bug that has been sweeping through my family finally hit me this weekend. I was so queasy and woozy and sleepy that I didn't even want to draw. I did make sketches for these comics, but I didn't finish them up until today. I do feel a bit better today--not quite as pathetic as these comics make me out to be!

The snowman is pronounced "Bquq"

And Worf is saying, "What's happening?" or "qaStaH nuq?", which he probably never said on the show, but it ends in an "uq" sound, so I used it. I did lots of research for this comic. Did you know there's a Bing translator for Klingon?

Now we jump!

And jump they did.

House keeper

We saw one of these yesterday. A big one. It was on the outside of the house, though, thankfully. I've only seen smallish ones inside so far. I always rescue spiders and take them outside (especially the ones that can eat cockroaches), but I don't even know how I would go about rescuing a 5-inch spider!
