hey all, the time has arrived. after many years, it’s time to sunset good ol’ owljolson. it’ll be staying up as an archive for the foreseeable future, so no worries there! but from now on, my main personal blog will be over at owltypical. and of course, my art and webcomic blogs will remain where they are!
thanks for all the many years of following, those of y’all who’ve stuck it out, and hopefully i’ll see you over at the new one too!
so, it’s the twentieth anniversary of 9/11. for a while i thought about doing a scribbly comic of my memories of the whole thing, but i just don’t have it in me. i think i’ll just spew out a bunch of text under the cut to get my catharsis.
i can’t believe these handsome little monsters are over three years old already
welp, this account got hacked, sorry about that y’all, i’ve hopefully fixed things
October was already my favorite month, due to beginning with my birthday and ending with Halloween, all in the prime of fall, but it also contains Ace Week! Wey hey!
Happy Ace Week to all my fellow asexuals, wherever you may be on the spectrum! You’re cool and valid!
Another day, another alarm clock, and an interruption. Plus, cat hat.

Frank Oz and Jim Henson ad-lib as Fozzie and Kermit in this test footage for the first Muppet movie, and honestly it's pure gold.
This is a professional shitpost roleplay.
I’m crying becuase this is something I’ve never seen before, something original of that era of the Muppets with both Oz and Henson working on one of my favorite movies, but also becuase this is the funniest thing I have seen in mONTHS.
suddenly developed some aches and pains in my drawing hand (because of course i would, i was even taking it easy this past week), so i’m gonna have to let it rest a little, but at least i squeaked out a few last little doodles before having to do so
have some asexual non-mouth kisses starring heck and jamie
Due to loss of revenue, the alaska sea life center, our marine life rehabilitation and education center in Alaska, may have to permanently close. It's a really quality center and a place that many alaskans have very dear memories of.
I know everyone is very strapped, but if you can, please donate if you can.
y’all, i know there’s a lot going on that sucks right now, but i beg of you, can you please cut back on the chicken little-ing and huge negativity and venting about world events in the good omens tag
yes, the plot of gomens is a little on the nose atm, but it’s also a plot about hopefulness and joy and humanity, and most importantly it’s a fandom space that should be fun and enjoyable and bring positivity into people’s lives, please give folks who are sad and anxious a space to breathe and enjoy themselves
it’s international nonbinary persons day, and nonbinary awareness week! best of wishes from me and walt to our fellow nb pals, we hope you’re havin’ a good one
This German Kindergarten
every building built mainly for children should be fucking weird like this i cant even imagine how much happier my memories of early childhood would be if i could look back on having gone to kindergarten in a big ol cat
Whoops. Forgot about that one bit.
Aaaand that’s it! The first chapter of Outliers is complete!! To reiterate the status update I just posted alongside the last page over on the comic blog:
2019 was a year that took a lot out of me, personal life-wise, so there were a lot of interruptions to my plans, but between this, the bear comic zine and one or two one-offs, I still managed to pump out about forty comics over said traumatic year, so I’m calling it a win. Yay!
It’s going to be a little while before Chapter 2 starts! I’ve got a new computer to set up, thumbnailing and other comic-related work to do, a backlog to build up again for more regular updates, and all sorts of things on my plate.
Part of that is going to be rethinking how I approach the art for Outliers. Much as I’d like to go All Out on every page, I simply don’t have the time or energy to do so at a speed I’m happy with, and I can’t afford to pay a colorist to do it for me for the foreseeable future. So there’s a very strong chance future comics will be in very simplified colors, or in black & white/greyscale with the occasional special full color short comic or scene. We’ll have to see how it goes!
In the meantime, I’m going to try and post at least a couple more one-off comics here and there between now and Chapter 2, and I’ll continue to post doodles and other art on here! Happy holidays and have a Happy New Year, and thank you so much for reading my comic!!

Nearly to the end of the chapter!
