I had so much fun! I love DnD! But yeah, I did trigger a huge battle because I had the audacity to try to LEAVE A ROOM. 😅
What good, obedient breads!

I was a guest at London Comic Con Spring last weekend and I took the boys with me. Henry really likes comic cons these days so it's always a good time. He was obsessed with this 'Garlic' and followed it around for ages, haha!

Well THIS sounds awesome! I won't be able to go to the live show in LA but there are streaming tickets available I see 👀
Check it out, friends!
A four-panel black and white comic. Panel 1) Caption: 8am Rachael and Rob are in bed. Rachael looks stressed. Rufus, their cat, is asleep on the bed. Rachael: Ugh...I should have got up early and got some work done...my deadline is Thursday... Rob: But you stayed up late working last night! Rachael: Yeah... Panel 2) Rachael and Rob have lay back down. Rachael has shut her eyes. Rob: Babe, if you need me to look after Henry a bit more, just ask! You don't need to do a silly morning/night thing! Rachael: “Silly Morning Night Thing” is my superhero name. Panel 3) Same shot Rachael: (speaking like Batman) Hi, I'm “Silly Morning Night Thing” and I make bad decisions. Rob: Haha! Why do you talk like that? Panel 4) Same shot Rachael: (speaking like Batman) I...am very dehydrated because I don't drink enough water. Please see preceding sentence about bad decisions. Rob: Haha!

Been burning the candle at both ends and also not really looking after myself too great. I'm trying to be better! I'm so tired I'm not even sure this comic makes sense OOPS.

I bet if I got a new notebook that would fix me.
A comic showings cartoon man degrade into a bubble with eyes and a mouth saying that comic work no matter how well drawn they are.
Posting this again to remind you you dont have to be an amazing artist to draw comics!
Thank you! I couldn't have done it justice 😂
A 4 panel black and white comic. Panel 1) Rachael is sitting on the floor with Henry, who is drawing. Rachael: Wow, Henry, that's a great drawing of a clown! I love it! Henry: ...is not a clown. Panel 2) Close up on Henry, still drawing. Henry: It's YOU. Panel 3) A photograph of the drawing. It looks like a really scary clown. Panel 4) Close up on Rachael, sweating and looking anxious. Rachael: Oh! It's...it's so...wow. I love it.

I will be at this!
I KNOW RIGHT????
I wax lyrical about John's work all the time - and if you're a fan of mine and take a look at him, then you'll probably see the inspiration he gave to me. Just, please take a look! It's such good stuff! I compared it to dostoevsky the other day and I wasn't even trying to sound clever.
It's such good cartooning, such good writing. Honestly, if you've a free hour or so, do yourself a favour and just take a dive in.
My favourite character has, for a long time, been Lottie. Please take a look and tell me: who is yours? (2/2)
John Allison is one of my favourite comic creators. He's also incredibly generous in that he allows us to read his work for free, updating 3 days a week, on badmachinery.com
Checking that website is, honestly, the first thing I do on those sacred days. (1/2)

OK but I LOVE this idea.
Hi Jessica,
Don't know if you saw Paul's post to you?
I'm also happy to take your info so I can pass it on to zoop.
We just need the name you bought it under. You can message me on here or email rachael@rachaelsmith.org

Oh! Thank you! I will do that! (meaning I will ask MY Rob how to do private browsing) 😂
Oh! Haha!
I'm gonna be buying some flights soon and I get real anxious about Big Purchases. Am I alone in thinking Big Purchases must always be made via laptop and not a phone? A phone feels too flimsy to make such a Big Important Purchase. Maybe I am just an anxious idiot. I am an axious idiot.
oooh that sounds nice!
