If this comic looks familiar, it’s because I’ve made comics on this topic before. And as this comic shows, familiarity is not a bad thing :-). https://www.thingswithout.com/comic/565-lifestyle-advice-from-a-small-pink-bunny/

Chuffles Cover!

Posted on July 27, 2015 by liz

I’ve been working on a children’s picture book, Chuffles Misses the Moon. One thing it has revealed to me is that cover design is best left to the professionals! Here’s a thing, part of the work in progress, so much to learn in life. I’m not really happy with the cover, but I do like the heart of the 32 page picture book! I had to share a little taste of it, especially when the comic I had planned for today told me there were some comics that had to come first and I couldn’t quite figure them out in time!

As the writer of the things adjusts to new work the update schedule might get a little rocky. We shall do our best! Here are some more sketches of Maggie. Poor Maggie, she came into the world of the Things and this Liz story arch just took over!!!

An Open Letter to Boggle the Owl

Posted on June 20, 2015 by liz

Boggle the Owl is pretty special. Seeing how Boggle articulated complicated feelings, talked about anxiety, depression and gave comfort is inspiring. It makes me want to make my own comic better all the time. Boggle expressed the wall of anxiety so well, and the comfort that can come when someone sits with you. What Anxiety Feels Like. Boggle is good at unconditional love. And articulating the difference between making and helping. Or the connection between Self Centeredness and Self Hatred. Boggle’s been away for a little while, it can be rough being a sensitive, caring owl. I’m glad they’re back, I’m glad I could write an open letter articulating why we like them. If you haven’t read Boggle, go do it!

Transcript:

Dear Boggle We’re sorry you had a rough year. We like you. We admire you. And you inspire us. We like how open you are. How you listen, love and care. Being vulnerable is a choice, and we admire your courage. We how this year is better. Wherever your wings take you. <3 from the Things Without.

A thank you to our fabulous Airbnb host

Posted on May 28, 2015 by liz

The creator of the Things went on a road trip with her dad and sweetheart. We went from Seattle to San Francisco, taking the Redwoods Highway for a goodly length of time and spending a lot of time undulating along the coast on highway one. The scenery was ridiculously beautiful and the beaches were gloriously wild. Once we got to San Francisco we stayed at an airbnb in Inner Richmond near Golden Gate Park. The space was kinda perfect to noodle around in, cook, have our own space without it being too big or too small. Our host downstairs is an amazing horticulturalist who trains Bonsai succulents and is a compost specialist! He also makes shovel faced art and photographs bugs! It’s quite a sight to see.
