So frustrating when all you wanna do is Mad Scientist some puppet fabrication, you know. Just R’n’D the crap outta things but no one will give you money to do so. Could solve so many puppet issues if only there was a shenanigans budget/investor. WHO WANTS IN?? #puppetproblems #solutionsaintfree

Guys, I don’t think you understand. Listen, the Seafair Pirates storm the beach today and the city will fall to them (as it does annually) and I am way more excited for this than the children.

The morning harvest was a success! (17 viable cherries and 10 blueberries!)

Seriously though, Bing Bong hits different once you have your own kid. Arrrrgh, my heart! 😭 #movienightforsmallboy #insideout

Well done, Washington! Camping fun underway.

Luckily, we already had a planned camping trip this weekend, so if the debate goes…anyway…we are ready to walk off into the woods.

The neighbor is out mowing their lawn…I don’t care for the judgmental tone that lawn mower is taking with me.

What if we parents of small people start slipping in casual Shakespearian lingo in hopes that this next generation’s slang comes out some ridiculous combo? Is that…sus?

The timeline right now looks like an Ewok party after the Death Star exploded

Listen, not sure what you’ve heard but have you even tried smoked, tinned fish in olive oil on salty crackers? Have you?? You are missing out. Just sayin. (Of course buy sustainably caught, etc), but…yum. 🤤

Topatoco is having a massive sale! Everything’s gotta go, prices slashed. Postal service trucks at the ready. So many things of mine as I have not designed merch in years since Hark closed down, and am not likely to again. But also wonderful things from many creators. topatoco.com/collections/...

Breakfast…banana for scale.

When do we get to have the “DID YOU ORDER THE CODE RED!?!” scene??? I NEEEEEED this.

NORTHERN LIGHTS: Take my picture! Please! I don't look great now but the photos will be spectacular, bursts of green and pink! Take as many photos as you can! THE MOON: Do not take my photo, if you little apes dare to photograph me I will be so tiny, I swear to god I will make myself so goddamn tiny

Glorious night lights!

I am so ready for this documentary and yet, at the same time…not. 💕 youtu.be/iyGFV6VIxkI?...

Just incredible news on reviving Voyager I. Think of it: a computer chip 15 billion(!) miles away is broken. The solution is to repackage & move key software, w/ code sent via radio signal that takes 22+ hrs to reach that little 46yr old machine. AND IT IS WORKING. blogs.nasa.gov/voyager/2024...

Did you feel the EARTH MOVE this morning? That is but a TASTE of MY POWER. If MY DEMANDS are not met within the next 72 HOURS, then I shall BLOT OUT THE SUN. The clock is ticking.

Sometimes a fail can be spectacular in many ways. Failed silicone mold? Or majestic art piece?? Gotta laugh.

Yo, who knew that color matching in food coloring was a needed parental skill set?

When you work with nasty chemicals for a living and all the MSDS says to wear a respirator and gloves and in a well ventilated work space and then you go to the dentist for a filling and it smells THE SAME. 😳🦷🪥

Guest comic by my boy (age 6). I was working on a comic, and he came up and started dictating what should be going on. So all this is him.
