A monochrome pink comic strip of "Leo & Rosie," with the strip being titled "The Pin is Mightier". Panel 1: Leo is talking to Rosie, who is clearly exasperated from how much Leo's been talking. He's saying "So in reality, the cosmic force that gives them their superpowers is even connected to the afterlife and souls in limbo, which is how they-" before being cut off. Panel 2: Rosie rubs her face in annoyance as she says "Ugh, put a sock in it. I can't follow anything you've been saying." Panel 3: Leo looks to the side, embarrassed, saying "Oh... Sorry." with an awkward smile. Panel 4: This panel is divided in two parts. In the first, Rosie looks up at Leo, with a graphic of a cracked heart. Then the second part has her shocked, with the image being in inverted colors, with the heart now broken into pieces and various arrows pointing at her calling her "EVIL," "HORRIBLE PERSON," and saying she "SUCKS!!!", which are just her inner thoughts. Panel 5: Rosie awkwardly shrugs, with a shy smile saying "Did I say put a sock in it? I meant... put a pin on it! So you can explain it better later." Leo surprisedly says "Ohhhh!", with text pointing at him clarifying he "Wasn't even upset, just embarrassed." On the bottom of the image, the artist's name, "JoyTheBoi," is handwritten, next to logos for Bluesky, Tumblr, Reddit, VGen, and Webtoon.

A monochrome red comic strip of "Leo & Rosie," with the strip being titled "'Tupid". Panel 1: Ms. Johnson, a teacher, says "Now, remember, everyone: There are no stupid questions!" as she addresses the class. A whiteboard behind her implies the day's topic is solar power. Panel 2: Rosie raises her hand to ask a question. From off-screen, the teacher says "Oooh, rare participation from Rosie!" and she asks "Do solar panels work at night?" Panel 3: This panel is split into two halves, one with a closeup of the teacher and one with a closeup of Rosie on the left and right significantly. Ms. Johnson accusatorily points at Rosie, saying "What's moonlight, Rosie?", with Rosie awkwardly looking down in silence, and the teacher retorting with "Yeah, reflected sunlight. So OBVIOUSLY it works. Duh." Panel 4: Rosie and Leo with very angry expressions, supposedly looking at Ms. Johnson off-screen, who asks "Anybody have a GOOD question?" There's a blurb that says "Same teacher that complained about students not 'connecting' with her." On the bottom of the image, the artist's name, "JoyTheBoi," is handwritten, next to logos for Bluesky, Tumblr, Reddit, VGen, and Webtoon.

A colored drawing of Leo and Rosie depicted in a style reminiscent of political cartoons. Rosie is reading a comic called 'Nortfelt' featuring a teal smug bipedal cat, and on the side it's labeled "COMIC BOOK." Rosie herself is labeled "BULLY" while Leo is labeled "NERD". Rosie asks "How many panels does a comic need to be considered a comic and not a drawing?" to which Leo responds "Well, political cartoons are often considered "comics," so probably just one." On top of the image the title reads "Leo & Rosie - Getting Political", and on the bottom is the artist's username, "JoyTheBoi", and the logos for Bluesky, Tumblr, Reddit, VGen, and Webtoon.

This was a real fun one to make, I kept looking up different political comic styles to nail this down

A monochrome pink comic strip of "Leo & Rosie," with the strip being titled "Why Even Ask?". Panel 1: A Venn diagram showing the relationship between Minesweeper, Sudoku, and cryptograms. The intersection between Sudoku and Minesweeper says "Always uses numbers," the one between Minesweeper and cryptograms says "Doesn't NEED numbers," and the one between cryptograms and Minesweeper says "uncover clues." The intersection between all of them says "LOGIC." A giant speech bubble takes up the left side of the panel, with Leo ranting "So as you can see, while Minesweeper, Sudoku, and cryptograms all involve numbers, they’re all logic-based. In Sudoku and cryptograms, the numbers serve more as familiar indicator symbols, but they could in theory be replaced by symbols like emojis." Panel 2: Leo is showing a piece of cardboard with the diagram, saying "Minesweeper is the only one of these games that actually utilizes the numbers to indicate amounts--" before being interrupted by Rosie, who from off-screen says "I have a question." Panel 3: Rosie, with her hand raised, asks "How did we get to this point?" Panel 4: Leo enthusiastically responds "Oh! You asked what I was playing when I was solving cryptograms on my phone," with a smaller panel intersecting with the larger one featuring Rosie saying "Right. Silly me." with an exasperated expression. On the bottom of the image, the artist's name, "JoyTheBoi," is handwritten, next to logos for Bluesky, Tumblr, Reddit, VGen, and Webtoon.

I like logic puzzles and I'm tired of people looking at them and seeing numbers and thinking "Oh, that's math stuff." NUMBERS =/= MATH

A colored drawing of Leo and Rosie seen from the side. Rosie's gifting a heart-shaped chocolate box to Leo while exclaiming "IT'S THE DAY OF LOVE AND *FRIENDSHIP* OKAY? THEY ONLY HAD HEART-SHAPED CHOCOLATE BOXES, STOP THINKING ABOUT IT SO HARD!" She's clearly flustered and blushing heavily as she presents the box, not even looking him in the eye. Leo regards Rosie with a soft smile, also blushing, and hiding his own chocolate box behind his back, implying he'll give her a gift as well. On top of the image the title reads "Leo & Rosie - Valentine's", and on the bottom is the artist's username, "JoyTheBoi", and the logos for Bluesky, Tumblr, Reddit, VGen, and Webtoon.

A monochrome orange comic strip of "Leo & Rosie," with the strip being titled "SuDORKu". Panel 1: Leo writing on a piece of paper that has a bunch of squares. The background implies he's in the library. Rosie, pulling up a chair, stands behind him as she stares at the paper, asking "What's that?" Panel 2: Leo enthusiastically replies "Sudoku!", to which Rosie, now sat, asks "Isn't that some old people math game?" Panel 3: A closeup shot of Leo as he raises a finger with a smug look, declaring "NOT math. It's LOGIC! Let me show ya." Panel 4: Leo begins to write frantically on the paper as he goes on a long-winded rant with a huge speech bubble that takes up the entire middle of the panel. He's saying "Here I find a hidden pair by seeing how in cells R5C9 and R7C9 there’s a pairing of 4 and 9 that doesn’t show up in any other block in that house. This lets me know only 4 and 9 can really appear in either of these and I can erase all my other pencil marks, as well as pencil marks that indicate that 4 and 9 could appear anywhere that would contradict this finding." Rosie is being pushed away by the giant speech bubble, which she grabs as if trying to push back against it. Panel 5: Rosie tells Leo "...You have managed to take a dorky hobby and make it dorkier." Leo replies "Oh, that's a beginner strat. You're not ready at all for hidden quadruples and complex fishes." On the bottom of the image, the artist's name, "JoyTheBoi," is handwritten, next to logos for Bluesky, Tumblr, Reddit, VGen, and Webtoon.

Panel 2: The next few panels are surrounded in clouds and depicted in color, indicating they're flashbacks. A Black older woman in her 40s says "We're so happy to meet you, Rosie! Leo won't shut up about you, you know?", to which Leo yells out "MOM!" from off-screen. A Hispanic man stands next to the woman, with his hand on her shoulder, saying "I'm Vicente Madison, this is my wife Odette. But Mr. and Mrs. Madison will do." They're both looking down as if to imply they're looking at kids below them off-screen. Panel 3: Rosie looks up at Leo's parents (who are off-screen) with a blank stare as Leo smiles at her. Panel 4: Rosie turns to look at Leo, asking "Why are you WHITE?" with the word "WHITE" highlighted in big bold letters and the separated into its own speech bubble, with covers Leo's face.

I forgot it's a thing!" as we see the meme on Leo's phone, which is a bunstick (from earlier Leo & Rosie issues) saying "WHY ARE YOU WHITE?" On the bottom of the image, the artist's name, "JoyTheBoi," is handwritten, next to logos for Bluesky, Tumblr, Reddit, VGen, and Webtoon.

Got told this one's written like a Family Guy cutaway gag, which sure says something about my sense of humor. Oh yeah also COLOR!!

Another reads "I made fanart of the new monster from Sandvival!" and features an image of the creature in another art style.

A monochrome blue comic strip of "Leo & Rosie," with the strip being titled "Different Kinds of Nerd." Panel 1: A speech bubble reads "Here we are! My favorite place in the whole world." There's a tiny doodle of Leo's head to show the speech bubble belongs to him. The panel is an establishing shot showing the outside of a store called "Geek's Peak," subtitled "Arcade & Comics." There's two flyers on the door. The first one reads "Don't miss the comic event KNOCK-OUT vs. MARBLERS," with the art too cut out to show any accompanying art. The second, which is askew, reads "SPEEDSTARS Arcade!" with art of an extravagant character. Panel 2: Leo and Rosie are wearing casual clothes instead of their usual uniforms. The background is filled with colored squares implied to be comics on a shelf. Rosie says "Heh. Only a nerd like you woudl love a place like this, filled with NERD books." She's holding a comic book as if examining it. Leo points behind him and says "They have whack-a-mole right over there." Panel 3: Rosie runs off towards where Leo pointed, yelling "DIBS!! THIS PLACE RULES!" Meanwhile, Leo gives her a smug look. On the bottom of the image, the artist's name, "JoyTheBoi," is handwritten, next to logos for Bluesky, Tumblr, Reddit, VGen, and Webtoon.

Panel 3: Leo's pointing a finger at Rosie while laughing, saying "YOU? Reading a study? Like us NERDS?" to which Rosie replies "Ew, no!

Y'know, I'm so sure I'm right that I figured there has to be a study that agrees with me." Panel 5: Leo has a concerned, slightly aggressive expression, with his dialogue reading "... So you lied." Lied is highlighted with an underline. Panel 6: Rosie, shrugging with an awkward look, says "Is it REALLY lying if it might as well be true?" to which Leo replies "Literally yes it is." His speech bubble is bigger, implying confidence. On the bottom right of the image, it says "*See bonus for answer", with the asterisk implying this to be referring to the dialogue from the first panel.
