Getting Ernie

Poor Ernie. It really did take like 2 years for him to stop smelling like pee. And now he is just the best. On weekends, I sit on the couch and he sits on my legs while I read comics.

Attack of low self-esteem

I was feeling kind of low when I drew this. I also tried inking it with just a brush. Not a fan. Partly because the paper I use is so textured.

Best Dog Pilers

This is totally how we watch TV on the weekends. It is pretty awesome. Actually, that is a little more spacious than our actual couch. I actually finished all 257 episodes of Murder, She Wrote a while ago. Now I am watching the 1954 Sherlock Holmes.

Fart Car

Oh Abe. What shall I do with you and your stinky butt. This was on the way home from a Drink and Draw, so the people should feel lucky they didn't have to bear witness to it.

Henry's in Portland, OR

Seriously, that was so much food I can barely even think about it now. And I have told pretty much everyone I have seen IRL about the horrors of the PumKing.

In-room Dining

Yummers!

Krismas ornaments

I drew this at a particularly low point last Krismas. This year is ridiculous. We (Abe) packed out Krismas ornaments in storage and now we can't get them out without taking half the rest of it out. So we bought new stuff. Our Krismas tree is weird now. No nostalgic ornaments. Nice new garlands though. Which is nice. And out little Krismas tree died because we didn't take care of it, so I finally got to pick a nice big fluffy Krismas tree! Abe likes little Krismas trees and I like big ones. I would prefer 6 feet. But we compromise with one taller than me, but shorter than him. We also had to get a new tree stand, but that was a good thing. We had the crappy kind in the comic above, but now we have a great big plastic one that the dogs can't drink out of.

Also, I finally figured out a good station for Krismas music on Pandora. I based it on Blue Christmas by Elvis Presely, You're a mean on Mr. Grinch, and some others. Awesome. Even pulled up my favorite song from the Elf soundtrack, "Baby, it's cold outside" with Zooey Deschanel.

Here's our decorations.

Krismas tree with sparkly lights. There are more ornaments on it now, though.

New stockings! We had old ones that I knit when we first started dating. They were pretty bad. These are awesome. The tiniest one is for Nermal. Abe didn't even want to get her that! We don't have a fire place, so they just go up on the wall.
