Abstracto's stomach is rumbling, and his partner asks what is happening in his belly. Inside his belly, the Belly Kraken is destroying the food toons in a sea of stomach acid.
I got a rumbly in the tumbly...

Comic strip of Abstracto explaining one of his methods for coming up with jokes and how his memory issues makes it hard to always make those ideas cohesive down the road.
The struggle is so real...I think...

Abstracto sits in a Doctor's office while Dr. Brain gives him two horrible options to choose from.
Sometimes the only options available to you aren't really options...

Abstracto steps out of the bathroom to find his upset cat, who feels betrayed for being shut out.
He really hates closed doors. Especially if it's me in the bathroom lol.

Thank you for the work that you have done, Friend! 🧡
Out of all my past work, this is the first time I've had the opportunity to incorporate information on Harm Reduction. It has been very rewarding.
Abby meets with a client and comforts them that recovery doesn't happen overnight, and helps them with ideas on how to proceed safely.
The dead can never reach recovery. Better to be alive to try again in the future.

Comic strip of Abstracto trying to tell his son something that he's expressing isn't a joke, but his son doesn't trust it and squirts him with a water bottle.
I think that he has caught on to my shenanigans...

Panel 1: A witch, wearing a pointed hat, sits in a chair at an eye doctor's office. The doctor, holding a magnifying tool to her eyes. She says, "Um, 'E' ... 'F' ... frog tail, upside-down cross, flames, upside-down cross, again." Panel 2: The doctor continues to hold the magnifying tool to the witch's eyes. The witch continues, "Burning church... the antichrist, um 'R'." Panel 3: The doctor, still holding the magnifying tool, says, "I'm afraid you need glasses." Panel 4: The witch, looking shocked, exclaims, "WHAT?!" The doctor, writing on a clipboard, responds, "And possibly, an exorcism."
Comic strip of Abstracto's partner scolding him for shenanigans too early in the morning.
I think she's done with my humor.

This comic strip features Abstracto's family sitting on the couch, trying to pretend to do nothing to prevent Abstracto from turning them into a comic strip. Abstracto is deviously hiding around the corner while smiling.
Jokes on them...as a Cartoonist, I've learned to turn ANYTHING into a joke! MWAHAHAHA!!!

I was so touched by all the kind messages I received yesterday. It has given me a lot of encouragement for what will now be a big swing:
My next animated project will be the first episode of a gothic horror interpretation of the Nutcracker called "Clara and the Below."

A few days ago, I published some thoughts on rethinking comics collectives. Since then, I've received an outpouring of questions — mostly about building a strong collective. What are the ingredients? Who should be invited to join and why? How should the responsibilities be divided?

Comic strip of Michel Abstracto dressed in post-apocalyptic attire and discussing why it is important to continue your creative pursuits during times of crisis.
It's a good thing to fight for what's right in the world, and try to remember that your creative pursuits are a part of that effort.
