Hurricane Landings

Well wishes to those affected by yesterday's storm and big thanks to everyone working tirelessly around the clock to put the city back together again.

From my window, I could see birds clinging to the tops of trees, but first they had to land...

Hurricane Pick-up Lines

A second cartoon for the day, just for laughs. Pick-up line brilliantly conceived by my friend Ali Hawkins :)

When I started cartooning a year ago, I posted this one about how New Yorkers prepare for a hurricane.

Storm's a-brewin'. Stay safe, fellow East Coasters.

Mommy Aerialist

This one is for my friends Stacey and Pascal in South Africa -- who are due any minute now! Judging from the parents, I imagine the baby will have a few tricks up its sleeves :)

At Least It's Friday

As comedian Mike Birbiglia would say, my dreams are so much better than my life right now.

BUT as I would say --

Speaking Voice Over Time

I think I may be getting more obnoxious with age, but at least I'm self-aware ;)

Mornings Are Merry

I usually love my mornings, but some days - not so much ;)

Hard to Please Men

Today's cartoon is inspired by a classic Seinfeld episode where George gets set up on a blind date ;)

Old Lady Walking

My friends know that I'm an old lady inside, so with every birthday, I'm just getting closer to my true self ;)

A Status Message a Day #115

I missed a day of cartooning, but the good news is jury duty turned into one of the best New York days ever.

Single Girl, Chicken Soup

I always feel funny making dinner, but I must say, I've got single-servings down pat.

Social Media Flirt

This was a throw-away joke. Brought it back for today's cartoon. Some ideas are totally superfluous and I'm fine with that.

The Gifting Rituals of Autumn

Argh! I neglected to replace my broken scanner and it is biting me in the butt this week.

I'll have to properly scan and repost this cartoon later, but here's a peek. It's the best I could manage today, from a photograph of the line work.

A bit late for Mid-Autumn Festival, but moon cakes last forever.

Phases of Moon Cake

Yesterday was Mid-Autumn Festival, a Chinese lunar harvest holiday, when families gather and feast and celebrate the season. Traditionally, moon cakes (a rich pastry made of lotus or red bean paste, often containing a salted duck yolk) are gifted and eaten with tea during this occasion. If you celebrate, hope you had a very happy 中秋節.

This is the first panel of a longer cartoon I'm working on about this tradition. Hope to post today or tomorrow.
