Couldn't leave out the Grand Duke of astrophysics himself!  I know seal point cats are native to Thailand, but as far as I'm aware there are no established cat breeds that originated in India, so I just went with a geographically close area. I also just really wanted to draw somebody as a seal point cat. <3

It's so wonderful how so many people all over the world contribute to advancing humanity's understanding of the universe around us! 

My own diabolical genius of a cat figured out the whole laser pointer thing pretty quickly. He derived much more entertainment from watching his brother Mallow fail to figure it out. I'm absolutely certain cats can experience Schadenfreude.

A running gag in this comic is how DJ Mary's face is very... unique, but I didn't want to just leave it at that. I wanted to show that just as you should never judge anybody by how they sound on the radio, you should also never judge anybody by their looks. And also just don't judge anybody.

 When a villainous organization takes control of a radio station, the nefarious possibilities are endless.

 Still going with the science cats. James Clawrk Maxwell is, naturally, playing the acting force in the "Maxwell's demon" thought experiment.

Let's face it, cats are little demons. But they're cute so it's okay. <3

James Clawrk Maxwell is a Scottish wildcat because they're adorable. I was considering making him a Scottish Fold, but that's a controversial cat breed riddled with genetic issues. I decided to instead encourage love for Scottish wildcats, which are critically endangered. Save Britain's wild kitties!

 I drew this illustration for Trainer Wants to Fight! to celebrate Kris's Togetic learning Fly. 

Sometimes the HM moves some Pokémon are able to learn seem a bit... implausible.

Shadow Play, Chapter 3

Chapter 1 - Chapter 2 - Chapter 3

Terra woke up from dreaming that she had a stomachache, to discover that she really did have a stomachache. With a grimace, she carefully rolled over onto her back and tried to relax, listening to her own breathing.

“You okay?” Blynn asked, and Terra knew her moving around had woken up the Zafara. Blynn had always had a keen sense for when something was off—intuition, she called it.

“I’m trying to be,” Terra grunted. “That dinner was pretty rich. It’s taking a while to digest.”

“I’m sorry,” Blynn said. “Need the Selket Elixir?”

“Yes, please,” Terra said. The nice thing about Neopia was that apothecaries had concocted all sorts of helpful remedies. Selket Elixir was a potent digestive aid, so Te made sure to always carry a bottle when her family travelled.

The Museum of Idaho has been hosting a travelling exhibit all about the Permian Era, and I managed to make it before they moved on! I love the Permian--I think it's so overlooked and underrated in culture because a lot of people just kinda gravitate toward what happened next: dinosaurs. But Permian critters weren't just the warm-up act for the main event--they were fascinating and successful animals in their own right. And, like the dinosaurs, their demise came about because of an unfortunate mass extinction. Gorgonops and Ulemosaurus and Lystrosaurus may not be household names, but in my opinion they should be. <3

I brought my drawing supplies, and although I was a bit tired that day, I managed to do a pretty nice marker sketch based on the lovely Dimetrodon mount in the exhibit. My sister says he looks like he wants treats from you. That's probably accurate.

They also had some fun animatronics scattered around the exhibit--it was awesome to see animatronics of lesser-known critters and not just big-name dinos. I really wanted to pat their tummies and bring them home and give them treats, but my cat would not approve.
