Sticks and Stones, Cont.
Telling people you’re asexual is the gift that keeps on giving.
Broken Magnet
As Covid surges and the mask ‘debate’ returns, I was reminded of this cartoon I first drew in 2020, newly stylized and still relevant.
Acceptable Targets
If you want to make jokes about the terrible attitudes of so-called involuntary celibates, be my guest, but the fact that they’re virgins isn’t what makes them despicable humans.
The Throw Down
It seems like time for yo-yos to make a comeback.
Time Management
I realized I was probably aromantic when the idea of dating became a chore rather than a goal.
Start a Conversation
This Valentine’s Day, tell your crush you don’t want to have sex with them with a quote from ACE by Angela Chen.
The Scarlet Letters
Adultery isn’t the only word beginning with ‘A’ that no one wants to talk about.
You’re Welcome
I no longer have to hunt villagers while taking persistent bleed damage, in order to satisfy my hormone-fueled bloodlust. Win-win.
Who You Callin’ Deficient?
I made a secret Pinterest board full of ADHD anecdotes and named it ‘Evidence.’
The Bloodening
Running of the bulls. Falling to the Dark Side. The Hunt for Red October. Down at Fraggle Rock. I could do this all day.
Sticks & Stones
I don’t usually have the presence of mind to get it right in the moment, so I made this comic.
Embrace Your Inner Square
Just a few alternatives to the standard sexy witch, sexy cat, sexy toaster…
Choose Your Own Adventure
I frequently wish there was a place where I could exchange my uterus for something useful – like a toaster oven.
Legend of the Hidden Handbook
I can’t be the only person who wishes there was a manual of extremely detailed instructions on how to navigate every single social interaction with ease no matter the cultural, religious, or gender divides.
Cartoonist Woes
Coming up with slice-of-life webcomic content when you live a dull, introverted existence in the middle of a pandemic is tough sometimes.
Ace, Be Not Proud?
It took me awhile to put my complicated feelings about Pride Month into a comic.
Living Solo VI
There aren’t a lot of baking recipes designed for a single person in mind.
Another Stand-Up Comic
I’m probably not getting a set at the Improv any time soon, but this material kills in my apartment.
My Tight Ten
Sometimes, especially after binge-watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, I imagine a career in stand-up comedy.
Programming Humor
I spent entirely too much time thinking about a ‘programming humor’ t-shirt I saw online.
My Superpower
When asked what superpower I’d like to have, I always say teleportation – because I already have invisibility and I hate driving.
Living Solo V
When a nasty bug knocked me on my ass, I tried to power through as an independent, single gal – but ended up calling my mom who brought me soup.
The Many-Headed Hydra
Anxiety can be a monster.
Living Solo IV
I hate wasting food, but portion sizes are tough, especially when ordering from places that plan on ‘family style.’
Birthday Goals
I planned a long, thoughtful comic about milestones to coincide with my 35th birthday; instead, have this gag strip about a movie that’s a million years old.
Consolation Prize
In Shakespeare’s time, leading apes into hell was the fate that awaited old maids.
Outfit Yourself
This is essentially a long way of saying I think labels are best if you choose them yourself.
Living Solo III: Halloween Edition
One year I dressed my 80lb German Shepherd/labrador mix up as the 11th Dogtor and I went as his TARDIS.
Unsuitable Candid-Ace
I would possibly be the world’s worst politician. Well, okay, I’d have some stiff competition.
Living Solo II
If I lived with someone, I would force them to be my puppet.
Lie Back and Think of England
I’ve lived my entire life in Southern California. I can’t handle “weather.”
Living Solo I
I knew him, Horatio: a lettuce of infinite jest.
No Mitzvah
Anyone else develop unrealistic expectations about adolescence from media as a child that left you unable to cope with reality?
Like a Broken Magnet
I give no fucks, I want no fucks.
My New Roommate
I’m a dog person.
Bardic Inspiration
Evidence suggests that if I experienced sexual attraction, the world would be in serious trouble.
That Ain’t Asexual
What is asexuality? Well, I’ll tell you what it’s not.
Representation Matters
I spend too much time worrying about what I shouldn’t write, and not enough thinking about what I should. Also, I’m bad at math.
Oh, the Places You’ll Learn About Sex!
Sex education in America is a curious thing.
Craving
Is this what it feels like to be horny?
