– It’s been snowing and super cold all week here in Portland, making getting out and around pretty difficult. Running some unavoidable errands early in the week led to me being really sick for the rest of the week. I’m still getting over it. It sucks. This is the kind of sick where I just can’t seem to get anything done at all. I’ve spent hours this week at my desk trying to write and draw, but barely have anything to show for it. It’s frustrating.
I did experience something that may have been an… extra-normal… event last night. Over a short period of time I woke up (with no memory of going to sleep or changing location) in several different rooms within my house, one of which I didn’t recognize at all. Or rather, within what appeared to be alternate versions of my house, each one differing slightly from the house I know (one was missing a room that was constructed shortly before I moved in. Another had been repainted and had different furniture). It was a scary experience, and I was left with the certainty that I’d passed through several alternate realities (where my home was slightly or drastically different) before returning to a reality that is very close but not quite the one I came from. I also feel like I was being monitored the entire time. The event lasted somewhere between 3 and four hours. While I’m mostly inclined to think it was an extremely vivid dream (of course), the amount of sleep walking that must have happened is really absurd (and as far as I know I’ve never sleep walked before). And there’s an artifact.
Even without the sicks in this weather is difficult. What with ice, we can’t even get up the driveway to brave the roads. Luckily we have lots of frozen food – eating lots of apples, though! Old canned chili…
I do sleep walk without meds, and have a few times with, and it is like that. No fun!! I am reduced to solo video games mostly and books, some good some bad.
Get better, the break is coming! I think you will be good there, we have to watch for flooding!
Sounds like a breaking fever Jake, it plays havoc with your brainz eh?
Good thing Modest’s friends are so sensible, lolz! Thinking ahead!
I got flu-ish sick for a day or two right after Clichemas, and then was stuffy and such with a sore throat the past week or so (which is terrible in a job where you have to talk all day).
But ooh, an artifact? Is it a JPEG artifact??
What in the world are you even doing in Portland? Move somewhere sensible, man! Like Marquette, MI.
… wait, that’s terrible advice. Uh, uhm, uh… h-how about them wacky kids, eh? Sure don’t have any sense of money, do they? Neh heh heh… heh… help.
Fortunately for Jake, Meg’s mother is probably smart enough to know that she will have to sign for any cars purchased and transferring all of the liability to someone else would be hard to do without their signature.
I still say get a second Batgirl Lego set.
Welp. At least you weren’t sleep singing. I found out about two months ago that I could sleep sing cause I woke up my parents… At least I wasn’t off key… Or singing Let it go… That would’ve been bad.
Anyways, I love your comics!
I do sleep talk sometimes.
Cool! Although, honestly I’m just waiting to see when I’ll sleep draw. IT WOULD BE SO AWESOME IF I JUST WAKE UP IN THE MORNING, OPEN MY IPAD TO DRAW, AND DISCOVER SOME SORT OF DRAWING ON THERE!!! Just like combining my two favorite things. Sleeping and drawing. You just need to add sleep eating in there and then I’ll be all set!
KEEP UP WITH THESE AWSEOME COMICS!!! And I need to somehow convince my parents to get me a t-shirt of the chainsaw unicorn… And convince them to let their child fund a stranger online. Absolutely nothing can go wrong with that.
I’m just sad that I didn’t see these comics sooner. Basically I found them by searching “Steven Universe comics”. And then I spent the next few hours reading all of the comics… Anyways… THANK YOU FOR MAKING THESE! *awkward Internet hugs approach*
Well, I’m glad you found them. Welcome to the comic!
Modest: There you go – one limo, one driver!
Gina: These are charms for a charm bracelet. And I don’t know what happened to mine…
Serpent #2: *guilty look* *brings up charm bracelet*
Gina: You-! *grabs Modest and tows her inside* Mom! Can I open one of my presents now? The one from Gran’ma? Thanks! *grabs parcel* Gran’ma always sends me these really dumb long striped socks that I never want to wear, *rips open parcel* but now I’ve got a really great use for them! *holds sock open, reaches out to Serpent #2*
Serpent #2: *backs away*
Serpent #4: *reaches out, slips into sock* ♥ *curls up contentedly*
Gina: …Eh, one problem at a time. Now, wait there while I find the sticky tape…
Modest: …Does this mean we can be friends now…? 😮
>:=)>
Poor Jake. The guy never wins.
Just as a thought, are there many staring at Modest due to the fact she has no legs and has snakes for hair? Might be an interesting conversation at the mall
That probably happens all the time.
