Deciding whether to post the next comic as a reply to the first OR as it's own post. Do y'all have preferences when it comes to this?

Some feeds show replies, some do not. Some people like when things are connected.

I'll post then separately. If u want to read them in a row, see t.me/gabumattcomix

Let's see your collection!

Prompt 5 for I LOVE FURRY celebrates art badges as a vital part of furry scenes. Every furry has had the experience of realizing you know someone not when you see their face but when you see their fursona on their badge.

Inking pencils I did over a month ago is so nerve-racking when I'm doing traditional watercolor next. My ideal inking process happens immediately after pencils so that what I have in mind is fresh.

I'm closing the book to find it says "Burn Book" on the cover, the design from Mean Girls, with doodles on the front.

A cartoon drawing of of an anthropomorphic wolf taking a photo of two skaters posing in a parking lot. Behind them, a fire truck is present. The photographer says "...good...and a fire truck just pulled up... 'cause this picture's gonna be fire!" In the second part of the drawing, the two skaters walk or skate off from the astonished photographer in silent disgust.

I made a joke in my dream that was so bad that they just walked off wordlessly
