I already have this and it’s my mum circa 1999 when she did not like me very much.

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?

MUGSHOT has a cover! Please check out the comic's new home on Webtoon at: www.mugshotcomic.com Please consider subscribing so you don't miss the grand opening on 1st August! MUGSHOT is the most bonkers thing I've ever written and I'm very excited and nervous to share it with you! #Webtoon

A cover for a comic called MUGSHOT. A drawing of a woman holding a tray of hot drinks. She looks happy and positive, if a little crazy. She is wearing a green apron and is standing in a small coffee shop. At the counter behind her are four other women. Two are looking at her approvingly, while two are regarding her disdainfully, as if they haven't yet made up their minds about her. On the floor is some water, presumably where one of the women have been mopping. For some reason there is a giant paw print in the water, which none of the women seem to have noticed.

Leonard Sultana (An Englishman In San Diego)@englishmansdcc.bsky.social · 2w ago

The first volume was a treat. I can only imagine what vol. 2 will be like as it documents Henry getting his attitude on...!! Either way, this is an automatic follow and support.

Nap Comix #425 My two beautiful sons. HEY GUESS WHAT! The next Nap Comix book is coming! Please sign up to be notified of news here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/fli... #napcomix

A drawing of Henry (a 3-year-old kid) and Rufus (a 15-year-old cat) are asleep in the same room together. They're both hot and exhausted and have similar expressions. It's cute. The drawing is coloured with yellow hues to suggest heat.
