Thing 1: I like they
Thing 2: me too
Inspired by Rose Fox who was the epitome of grace when they expressed their pronoun preference thus “For the record, my preferred pronoun is “they”. If you use “she” for me, I won’t be upset, but if you use “they” I will be THRILLED.”
So you can thank Rose for inspiring me to draw without a stylus (I have ordered a new one). It started out much more complicated, as things often do, but the Things have a way with language and after all my hard work they knew what they wanted to say all along.
Apologies for the dodgy quality, I have been struggling with scanners and software (BTW GIMP and I are not BFFs) , so imagine it’s me flipping through a book of stuff for you to look at.
I drew this on an airplane!

Flip book style animation. The Things look at each other and take turns inflating their heads bigger and bigger. Eventually one of the Thing’s heads explodes, leaving an excited line! The other Thing looks at this turn of events with delight and then its head also explodes.
Styluses have not yet arrived, but my finger painting is getting better.

This one was inspired by Emily Skaftun asking for information about recent work for the Horrific Miscue blog. I helpfully told her that the Things like spoons. Thanks Emily!

This comic was inspired by a conversation on Annalee Newitz‘s twitter about whether the Machine in Person of Interest is a metonym or synecdoche for the surveillance state. Hooray for interesting conversations!
Thing 1 & Thing 2: We have a sock.
Thing 1: Socks need something
Thing 2: Something we’re missing
*Boot appears; Things smile*
Thanks to Emily and Andrew for inspiring this comic.

I was almost ready to export to photo library when sketchbook crashed. Crashed so hard it randomly deleted FOUR layers – leaving me with the original scratchy sketch and the most recent layer I had created. What did that layer contain? The coloring for the sole of the boot. All else was gone. So I had to redraw and recolor and poooo!
Yep I’m gonna find me a new app.
As an added extra, given you were kind enough to stick around and listen to me rant, here’s the original sketch.
This was I hard to draw. They just look wrong!
Can’t believe the write-a-thon is almost over. 6 weeks? Already?
