Hurray! Another comic is up. I thought I’d never get this one done.

I try to work on the webcomic every day, but between taking care of the kids and volunteer work, my schedule gets pretty messy pretty quick. So I am drawing as fast as I can and posting comics as fast as I can. Of course, I did fall asleep on the couch this morning, which kind of slowed things down today. Oh well! That’s what I get for waking up early and exercising.

We’re surviving summer break so far. Later this month, we’ll be attending a 3-day karate camp in DC. That should be interesting. Meanwhile, I’m cleaning house as fast as the kids can destroy it. Lots of fun.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

I have no idea where that letter went. It was on Pixie’s window sill that night and gone the next morning.

I’ve been having fun working on the webcomic the last couple of weeks. I’ve been putting a little more time into the characters’ poses and expressions, as well as working on the coloring and effects. I’ve switched to doing the pencils on the iPad using Sketchclub, then importing the pencils into Manga Studio 5 to do the inking, coloring, dialog, etc. It’s just so much easier for me to do the pencils on the iPad. But Manga Studio is the best for inking and coloring these comics!

Today is Hubster’s birthday. That babyface is just 44 years old. What a youngster!

How does the Doctor respond to letters written to him by small children? He’s not exactly Santa. In fact, when the Doctor shows up on Christmas, things get more dangerous than merry.

A few months ago, the kids started writing letters to the Doctor, as in Doctor Who. I know how to handle letters to Santa, but letters to the Doctor? Especially when one of the kids goes to sleep clutching the letter in her hands?! What would you do?

Drawing Pixie

By Cynical Woman May 15, 2014 May 15, 2014 Cartoon, The Adventures Of Cynical Woman, Work-In-Progress

Sketch of Pixie in Manga Studio 5EX

I know I’m way behind on getting comics up on the site. All I can say is that I work 3 volunteer positions in Girl Scouts and I have a family to keep up with and a house to clean and at some point, a gal’s gotta sleep. I’m trying to make sure I spend at least 15 minutes a day drawing on the comics now. Here’s today’s 15 minutes. This includes setting up the webcomic in Manga Studio 5EX, laying out the folders, layers and panels, and doing the quick sketch of Pixie for the first panel. The script for this one was written a couple weeks ago, before visiting family descend upon the house.

This happens every weekend. We watch Doctor Who and Pixie spends all night complaining about nightmares. Then she comes sneaking into MY room, saying she can’t sleep. Of course, Hubster can always sleep, and he sleeps through anything and everything, so guess who has to get up and take care of Pixie? Yeah, me. It’s gotten to the point where I’m getting scared of Doctor Who too, because it means I won’t get to sleep through the night!

Yep, this is exactly what happens in our car. And we just got back from a road trip, so you know the girls’ arms are a little bit bruised.

PUNCH BUGGY INVISIBLE! WHAP!!

I went to high school with my dentist, so we have plenty to joke about when I come in for my appointments. His hygienist has the best deadpan humor ever. So all this means I actually enjoy going to the dentist!

ACW Episode 237 – What’s wrong with me?

I have been suffering from unexplained joint pain since September. And I know from previous medical issue that I should not expect a diagnosis any time soon. These things take time… a LOT of time.

But I do expect that when I’m having an allergic reaction to the medication the doctor prescribed, that maybe someone notice that rather than blame my allergic reaction on my hair dye. Especially when the allergic reaction in question started in the groin area, and no, I don’t dye my pubic hair.

Fortunately, I figured out why I was all red and splotchy even if the doctor didn’t. And I feel much better now. Even the joint pain seems to be doing better. I have no idea why my joints feel better, just like I had no idea why they were hurting so badly to begin with. But hey, I’ll take what I can get.

Finally! I have finished this webcomic! This is what I get for drawing a whole slew of new characters in the webcomic. Thankfully, this is the last of this series, so for now I can go back to drawing the more familiar for a while.

And now I’m going to be lazy for the rest of the day. So enjoy! I should have a new Bitchcraft cartoon up on Friday 🙂
