an autobio doodle comic! Panel 1: doodle of a very tired Ashling (that's me! the artist!) staring off into the distance with the caption, "I ain't built for this shit no more" as she thinks, "Maybe I should draw how I feel". Panel 2: a POV shot of the drawing doodle-Ashling is making - a headshot of herself staring off into the distance in a slightly different art style to her doodle-self Panel 3: a POV shot from the drawing's perspective looking back up at doodle-Ashling as she thinks, "is this too meta?"
A comic about considering what to draw. Panel 1: A tired Ashling (that's me! the artist!) thinking, in a thought bubble, "I sure wish I had OCs to draw..." Panel 2: Ashling closes her eyes as the ghosts of two of her long-neglected OCs float around her head. Panel 3: Ashling opens her eyes again, thinking, "I guess I'll just have to draw myself..." as even more ghosts of her long-neglected OCs crowd around her head.
A comic about being bilingual! Panel 1: a person looking at the viewer smugly, with the caption “in theory” above her as she says, “Hello monolingual. I am fluent in Portuguese, therefore I understand Spanish, Italian and French as they share a latin base. I am better than you.” In both English and Portuguese. Panel 2: the same person scratching her head, wincing and sticking her tongue out as she thinks hard, with the caption “reality” above her, as she says, “umm.. how to say “hôtel” em inglês again..??”. Below the speechbubble is written in brackets, “(stupid in two languages)”.
A friendly cartoon otter greets you. "Why hello there!", he says. "I'm the Life Insurance Otter!"
