Mr P

Took myself out on a date after work

Jig zaw puzzle anyone? 😆

PANEL 1: a pigeon sits, their chest puffed out. a thought bubble appears above them, saying "take a shower, it'll help your mental health." the pigeon exclaims "ugggh FINE" PANEL 2: the pigeon showers, grumbling PANEL 3: the pigeon has a green towel around their side. a bar appears above their head, almost completely empty, aside from a single small green blip. above it says "+1 mental health". the pigeon looks up, wide-eyed and cross, exclaiming "oh, you--" PANEL 4: narrowing their eyes, the pigeon rubs their head with the towel and says "you know what? i'll take it"

gotta start somewhere

PANEL 1: a grumpy looking pigeon sits with a yellow blanket wrapped around them. they are making a 'mmmnnggghh' noise. floating next to them, a smaller pigeon dressed as an angel says "you need to get up and get some fresh air. it'll be good for you." PANEL 2: the pigeon pops out from the blanket, cross, and exclaims "fine! but it won't do anything!!" PANEL 3: the pigeon walks along with a coffee, the angel pigeon floating behind them, satisfied. the pigeon says "wow, i'm feeling a little better already." PANEL 4: happy, the pigeon continues "who would've thought that'd actually help?" the angel pigeon extends their neck, wild-eyed, their wings extended in a 'c'mooon' motion

i will learn nothing from this

PANEL 1: two pigeons - the left one has a wing on their hip and the other outstretched, with an annoyed expression. they have a speech bubble with an angry scribble above them. the right pigeon looks nervous, thinking "oh no...i hate confrontation...my instinct is to just..." PANEL 2: the right pigeon's eyes wobble and tear up. the left pigeon stops, asking "uh...are you okay?" PANEL 3: the right pigeon brings their wings to their eyes, looking down, saying "yes, i'm sorry. i'm not trying to guilt you. i can't help it." the other starts to respond, "look, let's forget it--" PANEL 4: the right pigeon's neck extends, their chest puffed out, as tears spring from their eyes. they exclaim "no!! let's argue!! i'm a grown-up!!!"

crybaby

PANEL 1: two pigeons, slightly hunched, look at something off the panel to the left. one says "hey, look, it's them!" the other says "they're so cool!" PANEL 2: another pigeon is shown off in the distance. the head of one of the pigeons from panel 1 is up close in the right corner, starry-eyed, saying "yeah, they have such a je ne sais quoi!" PANEL 3: a closer view of the pigeon off in the distance from panel 2. one of the pigeons off-panel says "so mysterious..." PANEL 4: a close-up of the mysterious pigeon. they are wide-eyed, sweating, a blue haze over their head. text saying "(actually just full of anxiety)" points at them

maybe they're born with it, maybe it's anxiety

PANEL 1: a pigeon says "what's up with you?" to a gloomy looking pigeon sitting on the floor, who replies "i'm just a bit sad" PANEL 2: the standing pigeon asks "sad? what have YOU got to be SAD about?" PANEL 3: the sad pigeon replies "what have YOU got to be HAPPY about? you're getting blasted by lasers." the other pigeon asks "what?" PANEL 4: the sad pigeon blasts the other with red lasers from their eyes. BZZT

i'm allowed to be sad!!

PANEL 1: a sleepy pigeon in bed under yellow floral covers. they say "ugh, i feel like i've been physically ill for ages..." PANEL 2: the pigeon brightens a little, saying "on the plus side, i think my brain is too tired to think anything, especially bad thoughts!" PANEL 3: the pigeon tucks themselves under the covers a little more, looking suspiciously at a wobbly thought bubble that says "nobody likes you" PANEL 4: grumpy, the pigeon closes their eyes and turns around, pulling the covers up and saying "oh, shut up and get some rest, would you?"

give it a break, eh

Yeah, that'll do it, feels good to be able to see properly again, doesn't it?

You got that distinguished 'ready to read ALL the books' look

PANEL 1: one pigeon curls up in bed under the covers, while another tucks them in, saying "i'm sorry i'm such a burden..". the other asks "do you think i'm a burden when you take care of me?" PANEL 2: indignant, the poorly pigeon exclaims "no, of course not!" while the other asks "then why would i think that about you?" PANEL 3: the poorly pigeon starts "well, uh...because i'm the worst--agh!" as the other states "no! bad irrational thought!" and spraying the first from a bottle PANEL 4: dripping slightly, the poorly pigeon says "thanks for looking after me" as the other holds their wing

ksh ksh ksh

PANEL 1: a pigeon excitedly holds up a star, exclaiming "i have something i really want to do!" PANEL 2: they look concerned at the star. "but...it's gonna take so long." PANEL 3: the pigeon slumps on the floor, chest puffed, and groans "ugghhhhhh" PANEL 4: the pigeon sits up, a hi vis jacket and helmet on, and stars filing the star. there is a toolbox next to them. they say, "well, the time will pass anyway."

might as well have a cool thing at the end of it

PANEL 1: a pigeon peeks into a puddle. they exclaim "i'm in a rut...i want to grow into someone new! someone amazing!" PANEL 2: close-up of the pigeon, sparkles in the eyes and around their head. they say "i want the drive to follow my dreams! to grow in confidence! to be mentally healthy!" PANEL 3: the pigeon stands, puzzled, a wing up to their beak. they ask "but...how do i do all that?" PANEL 4: the pigeon has a snazzy new hair cut, their chest puffed. they say "i got bangs instead"

the old me is dead

A four-panel comic. PANEL 1: a pigeon floats, stars in their eyes as stars glow around them. caption - "i have so many ideas and ambitions i want to achieve!" PANEL 2: the pigeon throws a star behind them. caption - "but i have a bad habit of abandoning things." PANEL 3: the pigeon picks up the star out of a trashcan. the star is chipped and dirty. caption - "i'm trying to learn to persevere..." PANEL 4: the pigeon sits happily on the floor, painting the star bright colours. caption - "...and remember that things are worth doing even if they aren't easy or perfect."

perseverance ⭐️

PANEL 1: a tired pigeon sits, saying "ugh, depressed yet again..." PANEL 2: the pigeon flops down, saying "i feel like i waste so much time being sad!" PANEL 3: the caption says 'later...' the pigeon is still lying down, covering their eyes PANEL 4: the pigeon shoots up, exclaiming "wait, i've wasted even more time now!!!"

in a loop

Unsupervised shopping is dangerous, got myself a u-cow-lay-lay today, don't really need it, and I'm not even remotely musical, but... it seemed like a fun thing to get right before Christmas

Had some iridescent clouds today, don't think I've ever seen clouds like that around here before 🤔
