Mari-lore Comics #4-6: Enter Yolanda!

(aka possible future office bestie??)

Mari-lore comics #1-3: "Cousins"

In mid Feb I experienced a POWERFUL surge of inspiration to finally draw out some comics detailing Marisol's relationships with other muppets/an origin story for her of sorts... so introducing Mari-lore Comic #1-3 !! a chat with good ol' cousin Zoot lol When I created her, I envisioned her as a writer for Up Late With Miss Piggy, so this is the gonna deal with how she joined the staff and who she befriends and, of course, how she develops a relationship with a certain muppet keyboardist (gasp).... so yes! I have like 10 of these drawn, but hoping to draw more soon. All that said, if you read these at all THANK YOU <3 I'm kind of flying by the seat of my pants with this series lol but I hope you enjoy!!

🍀🌈🌼💙🌟💚🐞 MARISOL IN WONDERLAND-- (AKA what Mari would hallucinate if she ate those expired marshmallows along with the band in that one episode of Muppets Mayhem! What a trip lol ) I've been meaning to make some gen updates and share this here for a while - today just seemed like the perfect time! Happy April 20th everyone ;P Just a refresher for anyone curious: Marisol is a Muppet fan character I made up; her main thing besides being a writer is that she's obsessed with lucky things! the only superstition she doesn't believe in is the one about black cats (the kitten in this hallucination/dream belongs to her; her name is Bee 🖤)

great lines to use for picking up men at clubs

the point of art is not to be great but to make it transparently obvious that there is something wrong with you

i promise i wouldn't blame you

The popularity of ships like Aziraphael/Crowley and Ed/Stede makes so much sense because it’s the classic good boy meets bad boy except this time the bad boy is also a good boy, the good boy is insane actually, and both boys are middle aged men

I’ve been looking for this really helpful post about artist growth… where you get to these points where your skill doesn’t match your knowledge of what SHOULD look good, and then it flips… it looked like a double helix on the graph, if that helps. If anyone happens to have that pic I’d love to see it again!

Here you go!

There's also this one, I just prefer the one above because it's easier for my brain to parse.

THANK YOU!!! This is exactly the one. I like both versions but yeah the first is a bit easier to take in

wanting and not wanting at the same time

a comic for asexual awareness week

bringing this back today for the start of pride month. still overwhelmed by how well this comic went down and with how many people relate. it’s easy to think aro-ace people are all totally accepting of their identities and really proud of who they are. i guess on websites like this you see a lot of people proudly putting their identity in their bio, a flag in their profile picture.

in fact i think a lot of aro-ace people really hate that part of themselves, hide it, and struggle for a long time to ‘accept’ who they are and feel any sense of ‘pride’. that’s the feeling i wanted to capture here. the disappointment, the loneliness, upon realising that you can’t feel what is such a wonderful thing. the embarrassment of not being ‘normal’, of being some random sexuality that nobody irl has heard of, and letting down those around you because you can’t be who they want you to be. how desperately you want to change, how desperately you want to feel. but you just can’t.

i know not all aro-ace people feel like this. i know lots of aro and/or ace people feel able to be in relationships, to feel closeness and have partners in other ways. but i think it’s important to be aware that some aro-ace people do feel like this.

the comments on this comic have mostly been great but a few have been very frustrating. a comment it got a lot was along the lines of ‘aw!! you don’t need to have sex to be in a relationship!’. you completely missed the point, hah. this is not a comic about sex. it’s about a lack of feeling, the lack of something beautiful other people seem to have. another comment that popped up a few times was ‘maybe she’s a lesbian’. well maybe lesbians and aro/ace girls have more in common than people think - maybe they both often struggle to accept that they feel no attraction to men, even though society has conditioned them to do so, sometimes spending years trying to force themselves to like men in that way, when they just can’t.

this comic is called ‘wanting and not wanting at the same time’ because she wants to love. but when it comes down to the reality, she can’t fulfil the requirements of that. she wants to love someone forever, to get married and have children and grow old with her soulmate, but she doesn’t want it with this person. or that person. or anyone she meets or will ever meet. a sort of catch 22, i guess.

hope that makes sense. thanks for listening, and have a lovely pride month ❤️

"You two make a great couple!👍📸"

(a little late but fun fact: July 6th is Marisol's birthday AKA the day I first shared her with the 'net a few years back!! I love her sm and decided to go ham with the coloring on this comic as my gift to her hehe x] happy bday bb!!!💙)

after learning nolan bushnell was a carnival barker in college and based the idea of CEC heavily off carnivals i thought it made sense that chuck e. would be a former carny. and i just wanted to see him in a funny little outfit
