And Knowing is Half the Battle

Done on request from my siblings.  To those who haven't seen it yet, Rise of the Guardians is a movie involving various amped-up mythological characters, such as Santa and the Tooth Fairy.  And they gave the Easter Bunny an Australian accent and a pair of boomerangs.  Which, while pretty awesome, is completely oblivious to the fact that Aussies are, er, less-than-fond of rabbits.  As in they've written a few dozen books involving evil rabbits, including a handful where the noble Easter Bilby fights against them. 
So if a group of kids from the opposite hemisphere are confused by this, then what do the actual Australians think about this?
And what does the Easter Bilby think?

Anyway, Happy Easter! 


P.S.  That spotty cat-thing?  It's called a quoll. 
They eat rabbits. 

High School Lesson #2005

…Or, in the absence of possessed classroom equipment, one can easily exact revenge against a hated teacher by drawing a picture of him/her in a less-than-favorable situation of your choice, then posting it on the internet for all to see. Not to imply that I would ever do such a thing. Uh-uh. Not me.

However, let’s say, hypothetically, that I once had a really stupid middle school teacher (yeah, I know the label says "high school," but this is all hypothetical, remember?). One who would dock point off of worksheets if you didn’t color the headings. One who would force us to fill out sheets full of massively redundant touchy-feely questions. One who would spend more time in the next-door teachers’ lounge than the classroom. One who spent a month forcing the class to play a giant Monopoly game, complete with budget sheets. One who, for our final research project, gave us two weeks to find 500 facts on our topics, write them up on little fact strips, cut them out and paste them in order, and type them up into a ten-page paper. One who was supposed to be a science teacher.

Then, yeah, I’d be just a bit peeved and seriously considering drawing said hypothetical cartoon.

In conclusion, I’d like to remind everyone that this is, of course, purely hypothetical, and that revenge is a dish best served pixelated.


P.S.  I'd also like to apologize for this post being late.  Something went wrong with the picture uploader, just because the universe likes to make things difficult for me (and really, what's a comic blog without a comic?).  Reminds me of the hypothetical time when the family computer hypothetically crashed just before I had to do that hypothetical ten-page final research paper for my hypothetical stupid teacher.  Hypothetically. 

Cut Skiing

This year my sister and I went skiing for the first time, accompanied by my vastly more experienced brother and father.   I could probably write a whole series of comics about my misadventures that day (like, say, the fact that I learned just how many weird positions I could twist my legs into without breaking them).   Maybe I will sometime.

Anyway, despite what this comic may suggest, my sister did much better than I did.   I’m pretty sure that at no point did she speed down the hill out of control, screaming like a lunatic.   However the depicted conversation, while not word-for-word, really happened.  Because my brother and I are either really genre-savvy or really paranoid. 
Or both. 

The Zit That Wouldn't Die!

How do you tell if an artist has watched a lot of Mystery Science Theater 3000?  She draws something like this.  That's how you tell. 


I suddenly feel compelled to throw popcorn at myself....

Something's Biting

Having a decoy when you're dealing with vampires is generally a good idea.  Especially if you're one of those people who like to go fishing for vampires with a decoy attached to the horn growing out of your head. 

In other news, vampires and unicorns in the same cartoon!  Wooh! 

Happy March!

We made it past Purgatory (February, whatever)!  Yay!  I'm also pleased to announce that yesterday I completed the RPM Challenge (record an album of 10 songs or 35 minutes of music during the month of February).  So if you feel like finding out what I do when I'm not drawing vampires, you can listen to my work here. 
Oh, yeah.  And here's another Birthstone Unicorn picture.  Enjoy!
