Panel 1: Laurel is wearing workout gear and running, with Kirk hanging on her back. The cat yells "Faster, faster!" Panel 2: Laurel is doing push-ups now. There's a stack of books on her back, and Kirk is sitting atop them saying, "Another set!" Panel 3: Laurel is doing pull-ups. Kirk sits on the bar she's using and says, "You're almost ready!" Panel 4: Kirk shouts "RIP IT!!" as Laurel launches a battle top.

While you were out partying, I studied the blade.

Panel 1: Juniper is levitating trays of cookies by magic. "Cookies are done baking!" Panel 2: Laurel and Kirk eagerly grab and snap for the cookies, and Juniper yells, "BUT-- they still need to cool!" Panel 3: Juniper wags her finger and says "I baked in a spell that will show me if you eat them too early." Laurel and Kirk are definitely listening as they wait in the corner. Panel 4: Laurel and Kirk have magic dunce caps that read "Rude" and "Doesn't Listen". Laurel says "Worth it." and Kirk agrees with a "Yeah."

Hot cookies + cold milk = life. You gotta fight me off the second you pull that baking sheet from the oven. >:D

Panel 1: Laurel looks at Kirk, who is sitting on her shoulder. She's carrying a takeout bag with "Thank you" printed on it. She asks her cat, "Hey, you're okay, right?" Panel 2: Kirk glances to the side and says, "I mean, I don't love losing..." Panel 3: He looks at Laurel and says, "But I get takeout with you and Juniper." Panel 4: Juniper, Kirk, and Laurel are all sitting together with takeout boxes. Kirk finishes his statement, "And that's a win."

A cozy evening at home with takeout is my favorite part. :D

Panel 1: Laurel and Kirk have been playing trading card games again. Kirk cheerfully says "Good game!" Panel 2: Kirk's expression has shifted at the end of the next game, looking a little disappointed. Again Kirk says "Good game." Panel 3: Kirk looks even more disappointed, his ears folded back and tail low. "Good game." Panel 4: Laurel cradles Kirk, who looks distraught. She says, "Hey, you're a winner to me." Kirk pouts and says "Not the same."

When you go 0-3 at locals. 😩 At least you still get a pity pack, right?

#ammcomic #comic #webcomic #ocsky

Panel 1: Laurel is holding her Creaturepedia book from the previous comic strip, looking unsettled. She asks Bean, her goblin animal rescuer buddy, "Bean, how can I ward off Chiapoko?" Bean raises an eyebrow and says, "Ward off? I'm fostering one right now." Panel 2: Bean brings out a Chiapoko, a 3-eyed dog-like creature. "That Creaturepedia is outdated. Chiapoko are really sweet.  Panel 3: Bean continues speaking while Laurel hesitantly reaches out to the Chiapoko. "They can smell nightmares, and use reflective eyes to scare them off." Panel 4: Laurel's fear has melted away, and she gives the Chiapoko a hug. "I'm sorry I thought those things about you, baby."

Wow, it's almost like knowledge helps you overcome fear or something.

#ammcomic #comic #webcomic #ocsky

Panel 1: Laurel sits in a wing-back chair with a book titled 'Creaturepedia'. She says "Wow, the Chiapoko sure are creepy." Panel 2: She looks towards the dark hallway behind her. "Hope I don't meet any on the way to bed... in the dark..." Panel 3: Laurel runds down the dark hallway saying "Nope, nope, nope, nope." Panel 4: Laurel is huddled up in bed with a blanket around her. Kirk looks at her smugly and says, "You read something scary again?" Laurel tries to deny it by saying "No." but then admits "...yeah."

There's definitely not anything lurking in the hallway, right?

#ammcomic #comic #webcomic #ocsky

Panel 1: Laurel and Juniper walk past a water fountain statue. The statue has flowing water for hair, and her hands are cupped and running over with water. It's autumn. Panel 2: Laurel and Juniper stop and look at the same statue, but it's now winter. The statue's hair is frozen, and there are patches of snow on the ground. Laurel and Juniper are wearing warmer clothes. Panel 3: It's a rainy day at the same statue. Laurel runs ahead, unprepared for the weather. Juniper, wearing a coat and carrying an umbrella, runs behind her and tries to give cover. Panel 4: It's spring. Laurel and Juniper stop and look at the statue. Laurel asks, "You think she enjoys our visits? Panel 5: As they continue walking Juniper looks back and says, "Yeah, I do." Panel 6: A close-up of the statue, smiling.

Take a moment to stop and enjoy the sights, even if you see them regularly. :)

#ammcomic #comic #webcomic #ocsky

Panel 1: Juniper contemplates a writing scroll in front of her. A narrative text box states "If your confidence wavers..." Panel 2: Laurel is roller skating, doing a crossover. The narrative text continues "remember you're awesome for doing it at all." Panel 3: Kirk looks disgruntled as he paints a table-top gaming miniature. The narrative text states "So please..." Panel 4: Juniper, Laurel, and Kirk all join together in saying "Keep doing that cool thing you do!"

Happy New Year! I hope you get to spend it doing that cool thing you enjoy. :D For myself, I'm looking forward to more comics and roller derby.

These are my top favorite comics of 2025! I’ve had so much fun making and sharing it, and I’m looking forward to more in 2026! 🎉

Regular Monday posts will resume 1/5/26 💖

#ammcomic #webcomic #comic #ocsky

I’m jumping into #brushweek2025!
This is Laurel and Juniper from my comic, Another Magic Monday. You can read it here: #ammcomic

#artchallenge #ocsky #originalcharacter

Panel 1: Laurel and Juniper look at a greyish forest of bare trees. "It's so bleak out here now," Laurel observes. Panel 2: Juniper looks over and says, "You should see it at night." Panel 3: The lighting has changed to a purple, starry sky. Laurel smiles and says "Oh, wow. That is nice." Panel 4: The night has enhanced the dim forest view, which is now dotted with stars and glowing lights.

Inspired by my own back yard. My first winter here I was bummed out over losing my wall of foliage. However, the night view caught me by surprise. We're on a hill, and the lights below are pretty. I can also spot my favorite convenience store in the distance, LOL.

#ammcomic #comic #webcomic #ocsky

Panel 1: Kirk has a paintbrush in his mouth. He’s sitting at a table with a miniature figure in front of him. Laurel approached and Kirk says, “Check out the mini I just finished.” Panel 2: Laurel examines the figure closely. The has a big, beefy arm comin out of the back of the neck there, and may be a reference to a certain internet dragon from the early 2000s. “Wow, it’s gross. Sickening.” Panel 3: Kirk looks disappointed. “Ahh, I tried a new style, but I guess it’s bad, huh?” Panel 4: Laurel grins and says, “No, I mean… Lizarids are supposed to be gross. It’s great!” Kirk looks relieved. “…Thanks.”

Sometimes a thing is supposed to be gross.

#ammcomic #comic #webcomic #ocsky

Panel 1: Juniper has a series of dresses floating behind her with magic. She's not in her usual style, now wearing her hair in a ponytail, shorts and a t-shirt. "I don't feel like dressing up..." Panel 2: "But if I don't, will I look like a slob?" The dresses fall. "It is just for errands." Panel 3: Juniper is at the grocery store, wearing her more casual look. She thinks to herself, "I haven't even been perceived. This is fine." Panel 4: A girl at the store notices her and says, "Hey, you're really pretty." Startled but happy, Juniper says, "Thank!"

Your beauty shines through even when you don't think it does. <3 (Shout-out to the girl's girl who complimented me in the grocery store that one time. Obviously I still think about it.)

#ammcomic #comic #webcomic #ocsky

Panel 1: Laurel is on the ground, partially covered by a green, slimed substance. “Is this how I die? Consumed by a slime monster?!” The slime monster responds: “Rude.” Panel 2: Laurel resigns herself to her fate. “Maybe I’ll get reincarnated into something cool.” The slime monster, still on top of Laurel, says, “You watch too much anime.” Panel 3: Laurel fights back against the slime monster… or rather, she wakes up, sort of. She shouts “RUDE!” as she sits up, throwing her palm out towards Kirk the cat. Kirk, who had been sleeping on top of Laurel, narrowly avoids being hit. Panel 4: Laurel pets Kirk and says, “Oh hey, Kirk! Sorry I dreamt you were a slime.” Kirk looks thoroughly unimpressed as he says, “Not for nearly clobbering me?”

Stay tuned for my new light novel: That Time I Dreamt My Cat Was a Slime That Called Me Out for Watching Too Much Anime so I Nearly Clobbered Him

#ammcomic #comic #webcomic #ocsky

Panel 1: Juniper is using magic on a sprouting plant. Kirk is next to her, stretching. Panel 2: Kirk opens an eye, looking over at Juniper. “Ahem.” Panel 3: Juniper, realizing her breach of the cat contract, says, “Sorry, Kirk. Give me another chance?” Panel 4: Kirk sinks into a deeper stretch while Juniper says “Oooohh big stretch!” and looks appropriately impressed. Kirk looks satisfied and says, “Thank you.”

When you have a lil guy, you’re contractually obligated to say it.

#ammcomic #comic #webcomic #ocsky

Panel 1: Laurel is eating cereal. Juniper walks up behind her, looking tired and disheveled. “Stayed up doing a rewrite,” Juniper says, “Want to hear it?” Laurel mumbles, “Mm-hmm!” Panel 2: Juniper starts reading. “With courage in their heart and a newfound purpose—“ she’s interrupted by a CLANK. Panel 3: Laurel has dozed off again, dropping her cereal spoon to the bowl. While Laurel is snoring Juniper asks herself, “Did I accidentally weave in a sleep spell?” Panel 4: Laurel leans over on Juniper. “I think you got Mom’s reading voice. So calming. Got me to sleep every time.” Juniper smiles at that, “Aww.”

Some people put you right to sleep… but like, in a comforting way.

#ammcomic #comic #webcomic #ocsky

Panel 1: Laurel is working on a potion, an open magic book floating next to her. Juniper enters the room and asks, “Can’t sleep?” Laurel stays focused on her work and answers, “Nope.” Panel 2: Juniper brings out a magic scroll. “Want to hear the story I’m working on?” Laurel becomes an excited little gremlin. “Yeah yeah!” Panel 3: Juniper reads from the scroll. “Few tread through the Willow Woods, but—“ She’s interrupted by a snore. “SNNNNRRRKH” Panel 4: Juniper looks up, disappointed or maybe even disgusted that Laurel fell asleep as soon as she started. Kirk the cat says, “Youch.”

You ever have something put you right to sssslluuuuuhhhhh--

#ammcomic #comic #webcomic #ocsky

Panel 1: Erik the Ork is crouched over a gaming table. In his giant hand he holds a teeny tiny Ork figure, and there are more little figures on the table. “So I know you can push models around, but what about rolling attack dice?” Panel 2: Kirk sits on a small platform on the table. There is a cup next to him, and Laurel is pouring a handful of dice into it. “Easy. Laurel, fill the dice cup, please.” Panel 3: “A cat’s signature move!” Kirk knocks the cup over, rolling the dice out. Panel 4: Erik is overcome with emotion at the innovation. “Lil guy always finds a way.” Kirk is smug. “Yes, yes. Now let’s roll your damage.”

Erik of all people should know that if you believe it, it’ll happen. (Ork lore is the only thing that has me invested in Warhammer 😂)

I’m Kenna, and I love making cute illustrations and comics!

Read my comic, Another Magic Monday: #ammcomic

Panel 1: Narrative text states “You can accelerate with… toe stop run” Laurel demonstrates a toe stop run on her skates, raising her arms and grinning mischievously. Panel 2: “Duck walk” and Laurel does an exaggerated waddle with her skates. Panel 3: “Taking a hill full speed” Laurel is speeding down a hill and looks startled. At least she’s still in full safety gear? Panel 4: The narrative text states “Please don’t actually do that last one.” Laurel’s eyes are spinning and she opens her mouth like a Muppet. “Never again.”

I have hill-bombed exactly one time and I'm still shaken from it.

#ammcomic #comic #webcomic #ocsky

Panel 1: Bean opens her vest, revealing a pocket frog. “Want to test your amphibian identification skills?” Laurel looks excited, like she’s about to jump up. “Yeah!” Panel 2: There are three frogs. The first has three heads, and is identified as “Hydrafrog!” The second is purple, with magenta scales that look like flower petals. “Blossom Chirper!” The third is brown and lumpy. “Swampwallow!” Panel 3: There is a shiny reddish frog with a wide smile. “And that’s Edgar!” Panel 4: Bean laughs. “Y’know what? I won’t correct you. This is Edgar.”

Sometimes you see a little guy and just feel like they have a certain name.

#ammcomic #comic #webcomic #ocsky

Panel 1: Juniper is wearing a cozy sweater while looking at a scroll. A tree outside her window has snow on it. She says, “I’ll be finished by spring!” Panel 2: Juniper is looking at the scroll smiling but says nothing. She’s wearing slightly lighter clothing and the tree outside is starting to grow new leaves. Panel 3: Juniper is wearing another outfit with shorter sleeves than the last. Her expression remains the same. The tree outside is fully green now. Again she says nothing. Panel 4: The tree outside has put on autumn colors, and Juniper is wearing a warmer outfit again. She’s looking at the same scroll but her expression has changed to one of consternation. “…what happened?”

Y'all, this is exactly why I built up a backlog of comic strips before posting. You'll just casually go to a party, play a video game, catch a cold, go for a walk, and next thing you know 6 months have gone by. What even is this.

#ammcomic #comic #webcomic #ocsky

Panel 1: Laurel is wearing skate safety gear and tying the laces of quad roller skates. “These are so different from my magic wheels. What am I even doing?” Panel 2: Juniper and Kirk watch Laurel as she nervously heads into the skate rink “You’ll do great!” Juniper says. “I dunno…” says Juniper. Panel 3: Laurel is in the rink with other skaters, smiling. Juniper says, “She’ll be glad she did it.” Kirk agrees. “Yep.” Panel 4: Laurel rejoins her sister and cat. “I’m glad I did it,” she proclaims with more confidence. Juniper and Kirk smile knowingly at each other.

Go try that new thing— you’ll be glad you did! 😁

We saw Laurel make magic wheels a few weeks ago! She can add them to any footwear. For something like roller derby, standardized gear would be necessary.

#ammcomic #comic #webcomic #ocsky

Panel 1: Juniper is holding a flyer that has two people roller skating. The skaters are wearing protective gear and pushing against each other. Lettering on the flyer reads ROLLER DERBY. Juniper says, “Hey Laurel, check this out.” Panel 2: Laurel is literally starry-eyed as she says, “Wow, they’re so cool!” Juniper says, “You should try it! They’re recruiting.” Panel 3: Laurel turns and says, “I dunno, I’m kinda weird and not that good.” “Says who?” Juniper asks. “Me.” Laurel answers. Panel 4: Realization has hit Laurel. She claps her hands together and says, “Ah.” Juniper echoes with her own, “Ah.”

Wait, you mean I can just… do the thing? And no one is gonna stop me but me?

#ammcomic #comic #webcomic #ocsky

Panel 1: Laurel and Bean look fondly at a box turtle. Laurel says, “What a neat lil guy.” Panel 2: Laurel reaches a hand towards the turtle and says, “I’m gonna take…” while Bean looks at her warily. Panel 3: “a photo!” Laurel finishes. She has a magic screen device aimed at the turtle. Bean looks relieved. Panel 4: Laurel has posted the turtle photo with her screen name goldenlaurel and says, “What a neat lil guy! If you encounter one, please leave them be.” Username beansprout responds, “So glad I didn’t have to fight you, LOL.”

Don’t take em home or Bean will find you. 😤

#ammcomic #comic #webcomic #ocsky

Panel 1: Erik the orc looks up thoughtfully. There is an imaginary diagram of Kirk the cat sitting on Laurel’s shoulder, giving commands for the card game while Laurel executes actions. A Ratatouille situation of sorts. “Kirk, why do you have Laurel play for you?” Panel 2: Kirk extends a claw and says, “Tell me, Erik, even if some artistic entity took the liberty of giving me thumbs…” Panel 3: “Do these look like the hands of a card player??” Kirk displays the goods without even charging anything. Panel 4: Kirk is still holding his paws out dramatically. Erik says, “No, but they’re still really good hands!”

Kirk is really out here showing the goods for free. 🐾

#ammcomic #comic #webcomic #ocsky

Panel 1: Kirk the cat sits on Laurel’s shoulder. She’s holding up a handful of cards for him to look at. Kirk says, “I invoke Dinobro from the deck.” Panel 2: We see a new friend, Erik the ork, who also has a handful of cards. “Ember blossom happy season.” Panel 3: Kirk and Erik go back and forth with card interactions. “I cast hinder.” “That triggers my trick card.” “Discard to dispel that.” “And I’ll counter.” “I’ll oppose with this.” Panel 4: Kirk looks exhausted. Laurel says, “I didn’t think this used real mana.” Kirk responds, “It definitely takes some kind of energy.”

This one goes out to my TCG buddies. 😁

#ammcomic #comic #webcomic #ocsky

Panel 1: “I could teach you some more practical spells, if you’d like,” Juniper offers. “Nah, I got this,” Laurel says as she picks up the laundry basket. Panel 2: Laurel shouts “wheels!” and her shoes gain a set of magic wheels. Panel 3: Skating backwards, Laurel shouts “Ramp! Door!” to make her path into the house. Panel 4: Laurel winks and says “‘Practical’ just looks different for me.”

“Practical” may look different for some folks. 😁

#ammcomic #comic #webcomic #ocsky

Panel 1: Laurel stands by a clothes line holding a fitted bedsheet, looking confused. “How does this even work?” Kirk the cat is “helping” as he clings to a corner of it. Juniper peeps over the sheet. “Need help?” Juniper asks. “Please,” Laurel accepts. Panel 2: Juniper holds Kirk. “Let’s untangle Kirk and… plicare.” Panel 3: Laurel and Kirk watch in amazement as the fitted sheet folds itself. Panel 4: Laurel admires the folded sheet and says, “Magic.” Juniper smiles and says, “Well… yeah.”

I am a full adult and the art of folding fitted sheets still baffles me.

#ammcomic #comic #webcomic #ocsky

Panel 1: Juniper and Laurel are joined by a new character- a goblin girl with purple hair. They’re circled around Kirk the cat, who looks very pleased with himself. Juniper says, “Thanks for grooming him, Bean.” Laurel says, “Kirk never sits so nicely for us. How do you do it?” Panel 2: Kirk grabs Laurel’s face to direct her attention. “Seriously? Look at her. Just look.” Panel 3: Bean gives a nervous shrug. She’s surrounded by animals who look at her in adoration. Panel 4: Laurel asks, “So giving you a loving home isn’t enough, huh?” Kirk says, “Nope. Book my next appointment.”

She’s just got a way with animals. 🐾
