Vince. He/him. These drawings used to be much Bad on Purpose but they accidentally got better from all the practice. I'm not changing the name.

Was it you that made the "how to sew a nice thing comic?

this one?

yes, that's an old one from before I had a tablet and (unfortunately) from before I started putting watermarks on them.

OH ALSO! speaking of watching sewing a nice thing videos, I would like to mention that I have my own sewing youtube channel now!

I am quite slow at making videos, but there are so many I want to make. If you've ever watched a sewing video and gone "Hey, wait, you're glossing over too many details, how did you do that? Oh, if only this video had more autism in it!" then you might like these ones, because I do my very best to explain every little thing as clearly as I can! Which is why it took me 22 minutes to say everything I had to say about basic 18th century hand sewn buttonholes, and an entire hour to cover making 2 pairs of gloves.

I'm working on a very very long one right now, and I've been posting monthly updates on Patreon. I started the patreon for the dinosaurs, and I still do 4 extra dinos a month there, but now I'm also doing monthly progress posts on whatever video stuff I've been working on. Quite a disjointed sort of patreon, alas.

Dinosaur bravely struggles to focus on a boring thing that's high on the priority list, even though he sure would like to be working on that other shiny fancy one. maybe he can sew a little bit on that one later, as a treat.

Dinosaur squinting out of the window because there's squirrel drama at the neighbour's bird feeder but it's far away and there are some trees so he doesn't have a great view.

Oh man do tell us the drama

Well there were two squirrels who were running around and being very fast, and a pigeon also I think, presumably having a disagreement, but it was hard to see on account of the distance and also the trees. sometimes there are 3 squirrels, and sometimes there are no squirrels and several pigeons. Probably smaller birds come there too, but unfortunately there is some distance and also trees.

Here's a cardinal I saw recently!

and the bird feeder is almost twice as far away as the cardinal was when I took these pictures, and I do not have binoculars, so as you can see it is quite difficult to be sure of the exact nature of the squirrel drama.

Someone on facebook asked me to draw the squirrel drama, so here it is. My view of the bird feeder will be considerably worse once the trees have their leefs.

An old patreon post from last year.

#fun fact im pretty sure i know which biscuits those are #in any case thats a mood

It was about these ones, but so so many products are doing it too.

I like celebration cookies, but haven't bought them since.

I also got a box of chocolates recently and the space between chocolates was shockingly far. The box space was at least 2/3 plastic divider.

Toothpaste companies must really hate people who are allergic to mint toothpaste, which a lot of people are! Apparently it's NOT supposed to burn like minty hellfire? (I'm fine with mint candy, it's only mint toothpaste that hurts)

I've been using Tom's fennel for years, but am now trying to find one with fluoride in it, and finding a toothpaste that is no mint and yes fluoride should not be such a huge and infuriating quest. still got some more grocery stores to search, but not even the children's toothpaste in the nearest one had any that were suitable.

alright the lyrics I put in the tags on the original post & in a later addition were kinda rough because I couldn't think of replacements for all the religious lines, but it's been rotating in my mind all day so here's a better version of Minty Hellfire:

Advise me, my dentist, you know I'm a hygienic man of my flossing I am justly proud.

I brush every surface, my gums shed not a drop of blood,  no single cheat day ever I've allowed.

Then tell me, my dentist, why it's never good enough,  why the pits of rot still mar my teeth.

I must switch to fluoride? But every option I can find  is full of minty pain beyond belief!

Like fire, Hellfire, this fire sharp and fresh.  To clean my enamel should not inflame my flesh.

It's not my fault! I'm not to blame!  It's Colgate, Sensodyne, and Crest who've set this flame!

It's not my fault, if every brand  has added twenty times more mint than I can stand.

Protect me, oh grocers! Don't let the menthol touch my lips,  don't let its fire sear my mouth and gums.

Provide me with fluoride, but not laced with the fires of Hell,  and I'll keep all my teeth for years to come.

Hellfire, mint fire, is all that I can find.  I may be required to order paste online.

(Thank you again to everyone leaving suggestions in the notes, I have a grand Toothpaste Quest ahead of me! Checked another store today and found no paste, but I did get strawberry kid's mouthwash that says "maximum fluoride", so hopefully probably that won't burn.)

Hell yeah!!! Thank you for recording it, because I very much cannot sing!

there's a toothpaste brand called theodent that developed a fluoride alternative from cacao and so flavors most of their toothpastes chocolatey as a branding gimmick. granted, they're a niche brand and like $15 a tube, which is prohibitive enough that i haven't tried it even though i've known about it for over a year, but they apparently have studies to back up the ingredients, so it might be worth a shot if the money makes sense for you
