8: they also really enjoy climbing up my laptop screen

september 1st, 2024

this page is both a) very autobiographical and b) likely a personal record in terms of fastest AwS page created so far! I’ve had a very busy week and kept procrastinating on the delayed page from last weekend, but I really wanted to keep my promise of having *a* page up by tonight, so I whipped this bad boy up in about an hour with help from Cinnamon and Nutmeg the gerbils <3 they have each been compensated several dried mealworms for their assistance!

transcript:

Blobic likes working on her comic in the evenings while hanging out with her gerbil roommates
[ Blobic draws on a tablet while a small rodent sits on her head ]

tonight she’s struggling, because this week’s page is due up today, but the art is more complex than she’s budgeted time for
[ an unfinished sketch is shown next to the words “11:42 pm” and a stressed-looking Blobic ]

suddenly, inspiration strikes — she can save this page for next week and commission a guest comic this week!
[ a cursor hovers over the new page menu option on the drawing software LavaLlama ]

alas, rather than leaving cute marks, the gerbils’ paws mostly just zoom the page in and out
[ the gerbil runs across the drawing tablet as Blobic says “yeah! so now you just– oh– okay–” ]
