A black and white ink comic featuring Bug. It has three panels. Bug, their eyes closed and one paw held out, leans on an off-screen object as they say "Hmm... sexuality? Yeah, I'd say I'm pretty vanilla." It then zooms out to show what Bug was leaning on: a large black box with white text saying "kinks". Paw now on their hip and eyes open, Bug insists "Don't look at that". It zooms out further one final time to show an even larger black box labeled "fetishes" - again, Bug insists "Don't look at that" after a slight pause.

Guys oh no my sociology of sex classes have been radicalizing me AAAAAHHHH NOOOO I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT SEX POSITIVITY OH NOOOOOO

A black and white ink poster featuring Bug and some text. The text is split between top and bottom, with the top text saying "Fuck weird" and the bottom text saying "Bite Nazis". At the top, Bug is laying on their side, wearing an empty strap-on harness with no pants. Their shirt is pushed up by their hand, which is groping one of their breasts. They also wear a collar with leash and a bonnet. Their face is flushed, eyes narrowed. At the bottom, Bug is viciously biting into the arm of some sort of dog person who cries out. Black blood bursts from the wound, a wild and furious expression on Bug's face. Their eyes are drawn much more like real cat eyes, unlike their typical dot eyes which they had the drawing prior.

Another one I made that I'm proud of <3 I don't know how else to summarize it. Be queer, be loud (if you feel safe to), be freaky. Bite nazis.

A black and white ink poster of Bug and some text. The text says "You won't pry my identity out of my cold, dead hands 'cuz motherfucker I'll be LIVING". The word "living" is emphasized in the art. Bug has an intense pissed-off expression, with wide eyes and an open mouth full of teeth. His eyes are drawn much more like real cat eyes, unlike his typical dot eyes. A shadow is cast over his eyes and his ears are pinned back. He is drawn nude here, with minimal detailed breasts and his leg and tail blocking the view of his crotch. On one elbow is a bandage, and in the opposite hand he holds a syringe.

I have a lot of feelings about the state of my country. What, just because you say we don't exist you think I disappear? I can assure you that I exist and I am very, very much real.

A black and white ink poster focused on the topic of sex, porn, feminism, and queerness. Three mini-comics, plus two small doodles, surround a central drawing. Moving clockwise, the first comic starts with an elder woman with her arms crossed insisting that "Actually, there's no such thing as ethical porn at all!" as another woman approaches her, frustrated, and asks "Hold on, what about those of us that CHOOSE to be in porn?" Directly below is a small doodle of two more characters arguing over the topic, one saying "It's empowering!" and another saying "It's selling out!". The second comic shows two characters sitting together. The first, who has black curly fur, states "My pleasure is almost never considered because of my race". The second, who has the transgender symbol on their jacket, adds on "And because of my gender". Text below continuities this with "As if being trans wasn't already hard enough!" The third mini-comic shows three people, one of whom is wearing nothing but a pup mask and a BDSM harness. The first person, who is holding a sign saying "Violence is not erotic", turns to the other two and snaps "We fought so long to be less exploited by porn and you're doing THIS?!" To which the second person, coming to the pup's defense, snaps back "HEY! Kink and sex is vital to celebrating our queerness!" Above them is the second small doodle showing a VHS tape with text around it saying "18+ video: new, young, and hot! Human trafficking special! Only $5.99!" The final drawing is in the center, with bug sitting at the laptop distressed. Two tiny Bugs fly around her, one saying "Don't! All sex is oppressive under the patriarchy!" while the other says "I say go for it! Fight for the right to female pleasure!" Bug responds "Aww c'mon, I just wanna JACK OFF!"

This is the piece I made for my Sociology of Sex final! It's less "spontaneous" than my other non-consecutive comics since I had to think about some arguments from our readings to include.

A black and white inked posted themed around a mew plush. In most instances, the mew plush is expressionless and has crossed eyes. Bug is also heavily featured in this poster. Centered in the poster is text saying "I love you!" above a drawing of the mew plush. In left to right order, the remaining seven drawings are as follows: the first is a sketch of the mew plush sitting in a car seat, buckled up. Text next to him says "Buckled in! (to keep him safe!)". The second just shows a joyful Bug saying "my son!!!" The third shows Bug putting Mew in her backpack as she smiles and says "Here baby you can come to school with me!" The fourth shows Bug sitting down, Mew laying in her lap, as she brushes his belly and smiles. As she does this, she says "And I love autistic joy!" The fifth shows bug holding Mew, kissing his cheek with one leg kicked up. Someone off-screen says "It's like he's your baby!" and Bug replies "Because he is!" The sixth shows bug sitting in bed, wearing her bonnet, as she smiles and holds Mew close to her. As she does, she thinks "Holding you to my stomach feels nice...". the seventh and final drawing shows the mew plush laying on a pillow, a blanket over it, with its eyes closed. Above him is a gift tag with text saying "Loving you is an act of loving myself [heart] signed mom (me!)".

A black and white poster page on the topic of 'yearning', featuring Bug. It has eight main drawings with a repeating heart background. In rough left to right order, the first is a drawing of Bug laying down, their gaze drifting towards the left. They are wearing a nightgown set with frills and ribbons; the skirt is translucent, allowing you to see matching underwear through it. They will be wearing this dress for most of these drawings. Bug says "Ah! That's... so cute..." as they think "There are no hands to hold mine... or hold mine down." The second drawing is simply Bug looking up, blushing. The third is the only one where they are not wearing the dress, as they blush and scream "AAAAHHH!!! I want someone to say that about me!!!" The fourth is of Bug standing and blushing, using one hand to play with their hair and the other to play with the skirt of the dress. They think "This nightgown is so cute! [heart icon] I wish I had a reason to buy it..." The fifth is of Bug hugging a pillow, eyes closed and face flushed, as they squeal "KYA!!!" The next drawing is mainly text art of the word "yearning" with a spiked action pop and a heart-tipped arrow behind it. The sixth is of Bug sitting on a beg, leaning forward as they lick their two fingers, a curious look on their face. Behind them is a smaller doodle of Bug showing them pulling their fingers away, a saliva trail being made, with text saying "bleh [heart icon]" above. The final drawing is of bug laying down in bed, curled up and blushing with wide eyes as he's on his phone. The background shows an Archive of Our Own fan fiction simply titled "Fluff and Smut" by "anon" with lines to represent all other text. Bug has a thought bubble that repeats the line "Holy shit".

A black and white poster page on the topic of 'doing enough as an artist', featuring Bug. It has seven main drawings with a repeating heart background. In rough left to right order, the first is a drawing of an Instagram post captioned "my work is in a gallery!" with lines and dots to represent comments. The factitious post is a 'photo' of a vase with flowers on some sort of stand. The post is overlaid with the Instagram logo and a "ding" sound effect. In a speech bubble, a nervous Bug reacts to the post with "should I submit to galleries? How do I do that?" The second drawing is of a happy Bug with their arms up, a book floating above them. They proudly proclaim "I'M IN AN ANTHOLOGY!" while small text beside them says "that's something, right?" The next drawing is of a worried Bug eating food as they look at their phone, which has several speech bubbles coming out of it that just say "Ding!" Bug wonders, "... Am I doing enough as an artist?" The fourth drawing is of an exhausted and crying Bug hunched over and whimpering "I can't wait to go home after working six hours at my day job and draw... I'm not tired at allllll..." The fifth drawing is of another tired and weary Bug holding onto a strap on a train as they think "How many days in a row do I need to wake up and deny myself rest to be considered productive? Or is my 'rest' just an excuse for laziness? Even if it isn't, the days become months and the pressure negates the rest." The sixth drawing is of a serious looking Bug, one finger pointing up, as they speak in alternating speech bubbles and questions outside of those bubbles. They say, "I'm not lazy! Am I? I sell at events! Do cons count? I have a business! Is Etsy enough?" The final drawing is of an excited Bug looking over at an Instagram post of three other people together saying "We went to Tokyo!" Bug excitedly claims "DANG! That looks fun! I wish I could do that!" with the second I being in bold font.

A black and white poster page on the topic of NSFW censorship, featuring Bug. It features eight main drawings with a star pattern in the background. In rough left to right order, the first is a drawing of a naked and angry bug with over-sized censor bars covering their chest and crotch. They are shouting "WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TRYING TO CENSOR THERE'S NOTHING THERE!!" and text below it reads "Oops! All banned!" The second drawing is of a frustrated bug, one hand on their hip and his other hand pointing up, saying "Maybe DON'T constantly slut shame women and queer people. Okay??" The third is a drawing of a much happier Bug leaning forward and thinking "Ooohhh Poipiku my bestie...". The fourth is an angry Bug, a shadow over their face, as they sit at a laptop saying "There really isn't any good place left online to host NSFW content, huh?" The laptop has a speech bubble containing a large "no" symbol, and text next to the laptop reads "Kofi, Instagram, Tumblr, GEEZ!!!" The next drawing is of a crying bug, antenna drooping and a tissue in his hand, as they think "Is twitter really the only option? I hate twitter..." below it are two Chilchucks from Delicious in Dungeon wearing a Playboy Bunny suit. One is laying down, the other standing up, both are surrounded by hearts. The sixth drawing is of a nervous and blushing Bug saying "I know how to draw, of course I use that to draw hot people!" The seventh drawing is of a crying and frustrated bug screaming "KOFI TOOK DOWN MY [CENSORED] ACCOUNT!!" Random symbols are used in place of the curse word to censor it. Below the doodle is a note clarifying that "Turns out 'nsfw' is allowed but not... nsfw." The final drawing is of a frustrated bug, sitting down with one leg crossed over the other as they look away. Their shirt is lifted to reveal their chest, but it is censored with two Tumblr logos. They say "Are they really 'female-presenting nipples' if I don't even know what gender I am?"
