Comic #349 : The missing pieces - Website links here ~ I know much about myself; things I have always wanted, goals for which to aim for. However there are other aspects of my life which I am completely lost on, kind friends & family are always offering solutions which rarely work. I still try them most of the time 🧩🐻☁️

Comic #348 : Dad and the dogs he never wanted - Website links here ~ It's the cliche, your Dad never wants the new pet, but he really gets on board once you have it! 🎾🐕 My family were cat people since I was born but as a preteen I became obsessed with dogs & set about convincing my parents 🐶Neither of us have dogs anymore but we can still bond over them at a distance.

Comic #345 : Cringy Teen - Website links here

I bet only a few people can return to the bedroom they had as a teen 20 years later! Not everything here is cringe, but they come together to paint a very personal picture of who I was/am 😳🤭 Also, just because my tastes changed a lot and I cringe at my old self doesn't mean it doesn't suit & look good on you 😉 so please don't take this as a judgement if your room looks similar before or currently!

Comic #342 : Built different - Website links: Here Ok, maybe this is a bit too self depreciating but it's hard not to feel a little twisted with all your physical faults laid out in painful detail :P The most severe one I was born with anyway and has been causing me hell all my life, so nothing new there. Back pain ahoy! 🐻💬
