But there was a time when we were just kids in Rhode Island, and we thought $1.64 for diesel was SO expensive… 🥲 In 2002, I took a home video of the gas prices in our town. Tonight I dug it out, because I think about it A LOT these days. 😅😭

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

Yes, of course, I’m in love with Jimothy! 🥹❤️ This morning I painted him (and then his family when he was a baby) in the style of BCN (the raccoons in my comic wear post apocalyptic armor made from trash 🗑️). May he be loved and respected from afar, at a safe distance! ❤️ #Jimothy

The legendary, beloved PNW raccoon Jimothy scuttles across a field, wearing ornamental armor made out of trash. Jimothy, his mother, and two siblings. Dressed in trash, his Mom is strong and protected in a suit of vintage Tupperware armor. His siblings are wearing a tuna can and a cupcake wrapper, and Jimothy is sporting an upturned ice cream cup.

The other night I was brushing my teeth, and a cat rubbed against my ankles. I paused; the “mini head bump before the full head bump” motion reminded me of Lupin. I looked down. I looked around. Sure enough, the bathroom was empty. Instinctively, I put my hand down, in case he wanted pets too. ❤️

A little while back I made Firefox my default browser and DuckDuckGo my default search on my phone, going into their settings and disabling all AI features in both. The accuracy and ease I’ve had in searches has felt like a physical relief to my mind. It’s wild!

I’m often asked (by my own kids) what the approximate ages of the younger BCN cast would be. In my mind, it goes a little something like: Miss Elizabeth: 15-16 Beatrix and Princess Mag: 12-13 Iggy and Drumstick: 11 Ora Zella: 9 (the best age of all time, amirite?)

New dating strategy: Wearing a green ribbon around my neck. Every man who asks about it is rejected immediately for my survival. The first man to assure me he knows ALL ABOUT the green ribbon around my neck and WILL NEVER ask me to UNTIE IT is my new husband. 😎

It’s a bright, rainy day here in the Pacific Northwest! The perfect kind of day for curling up with a good book! I’ve got nine—NINE!!—Breaking Cat News books out in the world for you to choose from, including my latest, “It’s Showtime, Sophie!”

Thank you so much to everyone who kindly understood I wasn’t able to ink today’s strip and will be back on Monday! Thought you all might enjoy this silly video of me at the grocery store yesterday. 😂 Feels like this is the right spot for it. 🤭
