It Takes A Lot Of Courage To Push Through Hard Times. Never Give Up. Good Things Are Coming Your Way.

“You don’t remember your name?”

“No, but for some reason I remember yours.”

Comic #340 : Imposing year of the dragon - Website links: Here A bit more sober continuation from the last year-change comic. Sometimes when you think you've hit rock bottom a deeper layer falls out from underneath you. I only hope that this isn't the case & that 2024 will have some lasting positive changes to my life & for yours too 🐻💖🐉

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

This may be a bit too complex but yolo

Hi! I absolutely adore your dragon art (and am quietly hoping for a book wyrm at some point, it’s my favourite nerd pun). Your calligraphy is super impressive too! I used to take Mandarin Chinese at school and was hoping to start learning it again. I think you mentioned you were learning too, and was hoping you might have some suggestions for good ways or apps/websites that are good for people just starting out? Thank you! And I’m looking forward to more wonderful noodles.
