Straw Hats GO!

A Once Piece / Teen Titans GO mashup. (Inspired by characters from Eiichiro Oda's series "One Piece", and Cartoon Network's / Detective Comic's "Teen Titans GO!")

I shouldn't have to say this, but: Sanji is not kicking anybody in this drawing. (If it helps, you can imagine he is jumping towards the POV).

Adventures in Nature Writing: A Short Story (2024)

The masterful prose of the depicted writers (Robin Wall Kimmerer, Edward Abbey, and Annie Dillard in their respective works of Braiding Sweetgrass, Desert Solitaire, and Pilgrim at Tinker Creek) create an intimate reading experience -- as if the writer is speaking directly to the individual reader -- but in three distinctly different ways from book to book.

This cartoon illustrates my experience as a reader traversing the three books. It was a lot of fun to use this opportunity to experiment with comic art!

And from then on Ronja was free to wander at will. But first Matt had one or two things to say to her.

  “Watch out for wild harpies and gray dwarfs and Borka robbers, ” he said.

  “How will I know which are wild harpies and gray dwarfs and Borka robbers? ” asked Ronja.

  “You’ll find out, ” Matt said.

  “All right, ” said Ronja.

  “And watch out you don’t get lost in the forest, ” said Matt.

  What shall I do if I get lost in the forest? ” Ronja asked.

  “Find the right path, ” Matt said.

  “All right, ” said Ronja.

  “And watch out you don’t fall in the river, ” Matt said.

  “What shall I do if I fall in the river? ” Ronja asked.

  “Swim, ” Matt said.

  “All right, ” said Ronja.
