I can do this (comic #800)
Posted on October 16, 2025 by liz

If this year has taught me anything, it’s do the thing. Be brave, be persistent, talk to people, take emotional risks, journal (a lot), turn up with integrity and consistency, and do the thing.

And also, wow, cartoon number 800. Talk about turning up again and again. There have been times when I drew a comic every day. Times when I scarcely drew on a month.

Because of visa and then health, I've only ever sold comics at a handful of conventions, but I've loved each and every experience. So I've only ever met a handful of the folks who've read my work. Whether I've met folks or not, my readers are dear to my heart. The folks drawn to my comics are a terrific bunch of people.

My life is nothing like what I thought it would be like in so many ways, but the heart of the intention, the underlying drive is the same. I'm so grateful I have the opportunity to draw comics. Grateful I have opportunities to be heard. I hope I can do my bit to help others be heard, and I have some pretty cool ideas on how to do that that would be premature to share!

Good things,

Liz

If you would like more Things in your diet please head over to Uncanny Magazine and check out Things React to Star Trek where we look at love as a tool we use to shape ourselves, and shape our communities.  Thanks to Mary Anne Mohanraj and Una McCormack for being the muses on this one (go read their essays), and thanks as always to Uncanny Magazine and all the Uncanny backers for creating this space for the Things to come, play and be inspired by the great fiction, non-fiction, poetry and interviews. http://uncannymagazine.com/liz-argalls-things-react-star-trek/

472b: Special Announcement, update new schedule plus hats

Posted on January 11, 2016 by liz
Dear Friends of the Things, Our three times a week schedule has suffered over the last few months (stupid real life!). We’re getting back into it, but the struggle to earn a living wage (through job search or freelance) is time and energy consuming. We’re going to a once a week update schedule. Fresh Things every Monday is a can hold ourselves to. Thank you for your support, knowing there are folks out there reading us, wanting the next comic, keeps us going. Much Love The Things

Things Comic over at Uncanny Magazine!

The fab editors at Uncanny put it best:

Space Unicorns! As you may remember, one of the stretch goals for the Uncanny Magazine Year Two Kickstarter was a new webcomic feature. Each issue, the multi-talented Liz Argall will have a special Uncanny edition of her webcomic Things Without Arms and Without Legs where they react to a story in the current issue of Uncanny Magazine.

This month, they’re reacting to Yoon Ha Lee’s Uncanny Magazine Issue 8 story, “Interlingua.”
