We’re really hoping but watch it be the flu or something.

Thank you all for the “you don’t suck” comments. It’s always nice to know you don’t suck. I do enjoy drawing my comic very much and I don’t see myself stopping. I think it’s just a matter of me managing my time better. So with that in mind I started drawing this earlier in the day instead of at 11pm at night. That’s when I’m rushing to get it under the wire for my, self imposed, drawing a day. Silly really if you think about it.

Oh and if I ever think about coloring sock animal drawings again…somebody slap me! It took forever. I think after the first pane I was about to pull my hair out. I almost ran screaming from the computer. But I kept going. After the second pane I wanted to scratch my eyes out. But I was halfway done so kept going with much kicking to myself. It’s so much easier to draw a pattern on socks than on sock animals. And for a daily comic I sooo should have done this without the color.

I think that’s as good of a picture as I’m going to get of them all together.

Yes. These were some of the things I was doing when I realized I hadn’t drawn today. I sat down and rushed this one out. That’s the real reason why the third pane is just text. I suck.

So I ended up cutting a pair of socks up, not the ones I took a picture of, but one of the pairs I drew. I cut them up and turned them into a sock elephant. I had a hard time taking a picture of him though, because Isabelle was running off with him. I’m going to say it again but wow it’s hard to take pictures of soft toys with a toddler around!

I did manage to finally get this picture of him by himself but it’s not quite accurate. He’s falling over so you can’t tell he’s all wonky.

His head is too small for his body. It’s not noticeable in this picture. I probably didn’t cut in the right place. And I should have stuffed his head more before I sewed it up. I didn’t notice though until after I made up his body. Then the size difference was waaaay obvious. And his ears are funny. I took such care with his arms and legs and ran out of steam with his ears. They’re not tucked in and just funky.

But Isabelle likes him and that’s all that counts.

I get distracted easily.

And by socks of all things! I saw them and thought they would make great sock animals for the book, Sock and Glove. Actually the full title of the book is, Sock and Glove: Creating Charming Softy Friends from Cast-Off Socks and Gloves. But I’m not a big sock wearer so I don’t have any socks to cast off. Sock cat and sock dog were from nice fresh new socks. New, unused, cut up, and butchered to make cute little softies. I was planning to do the same to these but…

I love them! Now I can’t decide whether or not to cut up the socks to make sock animals.

I wore the gray and black ones out today with a bright red shirt. But this was the favorite part of my outfit today:

Stickers contributed by Isabelle. And yes I did wear it out, stickers, stripy socks, and bright red shirt. It was a little crazy but I liked it. I’m almost tempted to dress like that all the time.
