"Soup Store" During this point in the year I watch this video like 20 times a day. I never seen Code Geass btw. Nor Code MENT, which is apparently what this is from.

Description under the cut.

[ID: A two panel black and white comic cut diagonally. In the first one, Christabol is in his house holding his phone to his face with question marks all around him, saying, "Why are you buying clothes at the soup store?" The second is Greg holding his phone with one claw raised looking angry. Behind him are shelves of soup cans. Greg is saying, "Fuck you!" End ID]

I had a few months to make comics for when I finally caught up to where I left off last year.

Did I actually do that? Nope.

Anyways, here's a drawing of Christabol. I think I'm going to take a break for a little while and just post some sketches I've done for the time being.

[ID: A color drawing of Christabol with his right claw up to his face saying, "I think I'm the most mentally stable of the group." and "I don't like it. Too much pressure." End ID]

"Art Show Pt. 2" I've been watching lots of early 2000s cartoons lately. I'm starting to sound like a valley girl.

Description under the cut.

[ID: A four panel colored comic in a light blue room with white floors. The first panel is a close up of Christabol smiling wide with his eyes closed and pincher raised saying "Good morning every--". The second panel is of him opening his eyes looking shocked and frowning. The third is Strawberry and Rocky sitting on opposite ends of a light brown table in brown square chairs. Strawberry is working on her tablet and Rocky is drawing with some pages of colorful squiggles set next to zir and crumpled up paper on the floor by zir. Both look angry and have dark circles under their eyes. Off screen, Christabol asks, "Did you even sleep!?!", to which Rocky and Strawberry say, "No." Rocky then says, "We need to work on our art show." The last panel is Christabol saying off screen, "But... that's bad!", to which Strawberry replies with her tablet pencil pointed at him, "Listen, Christabol, pain is temporary. GPA is forever!". Rocky says, "Yeah, Christabol!" Greg is under the table smiling and holding a paper with a blue frowny face in his mouth. End ID]

"Baking"

A short series inspired by @randomriverreader who is amazing!

Description under the cut.

[id: A four panel comic of Yeeyee and Christabol in a light blue room with a wooden counter with cabinets behind them. Yeeyee is standing on all fours saying, "Thank you so much for helping me!", to which Christabol replies, "Of course! That's what friends are for!". The second panel is of Christabol opening a cabinet that contains a grey bowl saying, "Besides, Neo needs some cheering up!". The next panel, there's a spiked word bubble that says, "CRASH!", and Christabol is looking at the cabinet shocked. The last panel is of Yeeyee laying on the floor covered in flour and a bag on their nose. The back of Christabol's head is shown, and a drop of sweat is running down his head. He's saying, "How?", to which Yeeyee responds, "I don't even know". End id]

"Baking Pt. 2"

My mom asked me if this arc was based off real experiences. And wouldn't believe me when I said it wasn't.

Description under cut.

[id: A two panel comic of Yeeyee and Christabol in a light blue room with white floors and a wooden counter. Christabol is in the foreground talking on the phone, and Yeeyee is in the background with a red blender. The first panel, Christabol is smiling. A square word bubble with a tiny drawing of Greg says, "Hey! What's up?". Christabol says, "Yeeyee and I are making a cake for Neo!", to which Greg responds, "Wait, Yeeyee is baking?" Yeeyee is pressing a button on the mixer that's making a "beep" noise. The second panel has pink cake batter flying as the mixer whirls and Yeeyee is jumping back screaming. Christabol is in the foreground with his eyes narrowed. Greg is asking, "What was that?!?", to which Christabol responds, "Greg, I'm going to have to call you back." End id]

"Flame"

Inspired by some affirmation I saw somewhere that's 100% correct but I couldn't resist making a joke about.

Description under the cut.

[Id: A three panel color comic of Yeeyee and Christabol in a purple room with a window and a white floor sitting across from each other at a wooden desk. Yeeyee is in a black round chair at a laptop, and Christabol is in a grey chair with a blue cushion and a berry pillow on top of it knitting. In the first panel, Yeeyee is raising their right arm and saying, "You know what I realized?" while Christabol is looking up from his knitting. The second panel is a close up of Yeeyee with a white background doing a peace sign and winking with a star next to their head. They're saying, "I don't need to burn out to keep other's flames alive!" The last is zoomed out to show the whole scene. Christabol is saying, "You didn't finish your work, did you?" to which Yeeyee responds slouched in their chair and with tears running down their face, "They're trying to burn out my flame!", and underneath that in small words, "This is alligator-phobic!"

"Hiding"

My friend texted me out of the blue about this. Like, she didn't even know about Yeeyee, this was all completely a coincidence.

Description under the cut.

[Id: A four panel color comic in a purple room with white floors. In the first panel, Christabol is walking in from another room, and there is a wooden trim on the doorway. He's saying, "Hey Yeeyee, have you seen--". In the second panel, he's standing there with three dots over his head. The third shows the room he's walking into. Yeeyee is laying on a blue couch with their arms thrown over the side and a stick on their head. Christabol looks really done and is saying, "That isn't working. I can see you.", to which Yeeyee responds, "Who are you talking to? There's no one but a stick." The last panel is all white with text that says, "Fact: Alligators put sticks on their heads as a disguise to hide from prey and responsibilities!" End id]

“New Years”

Even though it isn’t remotely close to January as I’m posting this… Sorry for missing a week. I was out of town without my laptop so I couldn’t post lol.

Description under the cut.

[Id: A four panel color comic of all the animals in a purple room with white floors and a light blue couch that Rocky, Neopolitan, and Strawberry are sitting on. On the floor in front of them is Yeeyee, Greg, and Christabol with a bowl of popcorn between them. In the first panel, Yeeyee is saying, "I'm so glad we could get together!" The second doesn't have a background, and is a close up of Yeeyee with their arm raised and saying, "What did you do last year that you're proud of?" Off screen, Rocky says, "I tried new things!", Christabol says, "I started knitting!", Greg says "I read a lot," and Strawberry says, "I made a webcomic!" The third is a close up of Neo whose head is tilted down and their hand is up to their face. The background is back as well. Neo is saying, "Um..." The last panel is of them smiling with their eyes closed, hand still raised, saying, "I survived!" Off screen, Rocky says, "Yay!", Yeeyee says, "That's great!", and Strawberry says, "That's smart. I should have said that." End id]

"Memory"

And here it is, the first comic of this series I've ever made!

…I actually forgot to eat this morning too. Kinda thought I'd grow out of this once I graduated college, but apparently not.

[id: A four panel color comic of Christabol and Yeeyee is a light blue room with white floors. In the first panel, Christabol is standing in front of a light grey fridge smiling and saying, "Hey Yeeyee, do you want anything to eat?" The second panel is of Yeeyee smiling with their eyes closed sitting at a wooden table in a square wooden chair with a bowl of fruit in front of them. They're saying, "Yes, please! I forgot to eat today!" The third has Yeeyee's face in the lower left corner still at the table, and Christabol and the fridge are farther off. Christabol has the fridge open and is just staring at Yeeyee. The Last panel looks the same, and Christabol asks, "You forgot what?" Yeeyee looks surprised and says, "You don't do that?" End id]

I made Christabol just because someone asked me if I could make a crab. Who knew he was going to become a reoccurring character!

[Id: 1) A traditional drawing of a round red crab with round legs and blue eyes. There's a front view, a side view, and a bean animal version. The character reference on the right says, "Name: Christabol; Pronouns: he/him; Likes: knitting, baking, helping out his loved ones; Dislikes: his friends being sad, Yeeyee procrastinating, pressure of being the "mom friend"; Greg is his cousin". 2) A photo of a round red stuffed animal crab with blue embroidered eyes on a podium.

You know that person in the friend group who you're pretty sure ate grass as a kid? Yeah, that's Greg.

[id: 1) A traditional drawing of a flat red crab with black button eyes and pointy legs. There's a front view, a side view, and a bean animal version. On the right there's the profile that says, "Name: Greg; Pronouns: he/him; Likes: reading, saying whatever comes to mind, spending time with friends; Dislikes: getting too many texts at once, dog ear book pages, sand; Christabol is his cousin". 2) A photo of a flat red crab with black button eyes on a podium.]
