A few little sketchy moments from imagining my characters Mal and his sister Cat interacting with @chibi-netherlands' characters Moira and Jupiter on a night out. I'm enjoying this scrappier style, so hopefully you'll see more soon!

Ever since I fell head-first into the world of Googology, I thought it high time (heh) to wander into some other ludicrously-named areas of maths and develop my 100% serious science fiction universe using them. So everyone give it up (or keep it, it's not mine) for the wibbly wobbly world of Polytopes!

| Christmas Morning |

A little self-indulgent doodle comic about my gremlin child Malakhi's childhood growing up with his sister Cat, under parents that pay very little attention to either of them. I'm trying something a little sketchier here to see if I can't get more idea out of my brain before they mulch into a vague blorbo-soup. 🥴

| March Comic |

Preferring wildlife to a social life, March was determined at a young age to beat past the discomfort and awkwardness of their cobbled-together legs and become as active as possible. They also taught October to walk, because, well… they sympathised. They've kept up this active lifestyle to this day, but something tells me they don't let it get to their head.

Remember, your mundane is another's extraordinary. 💜

| March | It's March! The more outgoing of October's siblings. If by 'outgoing' I mean 'would rather climb several mountains before talking to another person.' As the first of the experiments without whole legs, they had rather a difficult time walking to begin with. But a combination of determination, stubbornness, and a severe case of teeth-gritting 'I'll show them'-edness has lead them to a life of hiking, climbing and spelunking. Again, the lack of other people also helps.

| February Comic | Thought I'd keep the comic and illustration separate this time so that Tumblr doesn't hide one beneath the other 😅 Anywho, akin to the nature of a leap year this one ended up being longer than expected. Still, it's fine. Everything's fine. February's doing great. Wondeful. Super!

[crispyparsnips]

| February | I didn't forget to post this at the end of the month, honestly! Anywho our monthly October-sibling-a-thon continues with the previously encountered February! They're doing great! Wonderful! Super! Don't look at the next comic!

| January | Character & Comic |

Gosh, is that the time already? I guess it's time to introduce you all to October's extended family! After some fun chats with friends on stream we decided that this year's monthly doodad will be to work our way through October's batch of siblings, starting of course with January!

The eldest, huggiest, warmest, openest and quite possibly most depressedest of them all, their sofa and garden are always open for one and all to come and scream into whenever they wish. Built to live up to the Frankensteinian ideal, they'd much rather use their big arms for hugs, their big hands for soup, and their big heart for making you dubious recipes they found in the pocket of the cardigan they just got from the charity shop. 💚

Humble new Yumble and all that. Let's finish this Malendar off with the last couple of months. It took him a year but he finally managed to convince his friends to join in.

[crispyparsnips]

Oh yeah, it's not October anymore. Here's last month's Winx Club Malendar, I guess 😅

31 ~ Carlo & Skillet ~ Medievil ~ RandOCtober 2023

Fin. Not Finn, that was yesterday.

[crispyparsnips]

#30 ~ Finn ~ The Nightmare Before Christmas ~ RandOCtober 2023

I would've liked more time to work on this one, but it looks like Finn's the one with a little extra time...

[crispyparsnips]

#29 ~ Cuthbert & Jupiter ~ The Great Mouse Detective ~ RandOCtober 2023

Cuthbert's not allowed to talk to the clients again, or Jupiter will feed him to the neighbour's cat.

#28 ~ Pride of Laconia ~ Beetlejuice ~ RandOCtober 2023

I don't know what a Warhammer nor a Beetlejuice is, but I think this is what happens when you say 'Mechanicus' three times

[crispyparsnips]

#27 ~ Hercule & Zig ~ Alone in the Dark

Not entirely certain there are any undead or eldritch horrors in this building, but H&Z have convinced themselves that there are, so off they run!
