Laurie the Normie

Working on MKS so consistently earlier this year was tiring, I was pulling a lot of late hours with the comic & I think it reflects in the quality of the art i put out. I took a break, expecting to return by March with more.

Boy, how wrong I was.

March 4th, im drawing up MKS chapter 5. Im working on my art fight profile. Im learning procreate dreams. Im on a ROLL.

March 5th, the apple pencil is missing.

The 6th, still gone. No sign on the 7th. Wiggled my iPad through the couch cushions, hopping to hit or free it from a crevice.

No such luck.

I search everywhere. Screw the places you expect- you have to go deeper. Im searching closets, in potted plants, piles of untouched laundry of yore. Its *gone.*

Fine, whatever, who needs it!! I'll buy a new one, the best buy is 20 minutes away. But NO, turns out im a stingy old grouch who requires ancient technology, no longer available at major retailers. There are fewer and fewer options.

I get an off brand stylus. There's no depth control. Its the bare minimum.

I shove it in the side of the couch. Im desperate. It HAS to be there.

*click*

Thats. New.

I wiggle under the couch, hugging it on the arms, contorted to my whims.

Like a teet of an udder, the ballpoint tip of the pencil poked through the bottom cushion (its a special tip). At long last and with no new methodry... the apple pencil returned.

Im so glad you brought this up. It always baffled me that Pearl×Rick was the crackship of choice when Bojack Horseman is Right There.

And yeah maybe i once wrote a chapter of crackship fanfic about them. Maybe it was toxic old man yaoi and really good. Maybe i posted it on an alternate account and really hope you wont look it up. Maybe, maybe not. You wouldnt know.

I hear you, and as a woman of the people i have a responsibility.
