#369: Work Stench

2012-01-23T23:54:00.001-08:00

Every day after work, I come home smelling like bagel shop. Kevin, who works as an in-home care provider for adults with disabilities, always comes home smelling like hospital. We make a stinky pair.

#366: The Hunger Games

2012-01-09T21:03:00.000-08:00

The other day I poked my eye. The first thought I had (before the panic attack) was, "I would SO NOT survive the Hunger Games."

#364: 2011 Recap

2012-01-02T23:05:00.000-08:00

2011 was a really good year for me. I blame it on my attitude change at the beginning (one of my new year's resolutions that I actually followed through with). I got to experience a lot of firsts and worsts, went to some awesome concerts, fell in love, and found myself accepting all the crazy shit that life has thrown my way.

#363: The ONLY Christmas song I can stand...

2011-12-26T20:56:00.000-08:00

...just so happens to NOT be about Christmas.

Listen to my favorite version here

I'm not sure why I didn't have a comic last week. Monday just kind of slipped by without me noticing.

#362: Happy Holidays

2011-12-13T22:40:00.001-08:00

No comic tonight

2011-12-12T21:27:00.001-08:00

Terrible news: Kevin stole my tablet pen, thinking it was a normal pen, and is at work. Therefore, I won't have a comic tonight. I DID attempt to draw without my pen tablet, but it just turned out sad.

Please check back soon.

#361: I'm teaching myself to sew:

2011-12-05T20:58:00.000-08:00

I got a new sewing machine as an early birthday/Christmas present! Too bad I have no idea how to use it.

#359: The Truth About Santa

2011-11-28T21:30:00.000-08:00

I don't know if this says I was painfully gullible, completely stupid, or just an innocent, imaginative child who honestly and entirely believed in Santa until she was a pre-teen.

I do know there were a lot more tears than depicted here.

#358: Flashback 2008

#352: Bitter much?

2011-10-31T20:40:00.000-07:00

When I was still single, PDA really bugged me too, even hand-holding. If I had've seen two people snuggling at a Fred Meyer I would have been really annoyed. But I NEVER would have said anything.

#350: Being bored is depressing

2011-10-24T21:33:00.000-07:00

Oh, and everyone should read "Habibi" by Craig Thompson. There is a lot of naked people in that book.

2011-10-17T20:34:00.000-07:00

My new co-workers didn't find this quite as funny as I did. They were worried that I was going to breathe in the fumes and drop dead. Which is actually possible. But I was just trying to do my job.

I actually did go running today. I got about a quarter mile before two state workers found me dry-heaving in the bushes at the Capitol Building.

#345: I'm not even sure I own a brush...

2011-10-03T20:27:00.000-07:00

...no, really. I know I used to. I think it was purple. It might be in Alaska.

#344: Sometimes dreams DO come true...

2011-10-03T20:24:00.001-07:00

There was no comic last week because I was enjoying my freedom from the Worst Job Ever. And doing absolutely nothing.

Actually, no, last Monday I was at my grandma's makin' homemade applesauce. So I was doing something.

#339: Hourly Comic

2011-08-29T18:59:00.000-07:00

Hourly Comic this week!

I decided to show you what a typical day of working at the farmer's market is like for me. Usually a 12-13 hour shift (no overtime).

Maybe someday (hopefully not) I will create an hourly comic for a typical day at the farm.

2011-08-01T21:48:00.001-07:00

Kevin and I went camping last weekend. It was an absolutely beautiful day---85 degrees on a hot, waterless mountain. And there were a lot of bugs. A. Lot. Of. Bugs.

#333: My boss' encouraging words

2011-08-01T21:45:00.000-07:00

I AM BACK!!!

This also probably makes me look like a terrible employee. But I'm really not. She's just a very angry old lady.

Brief Hiatus...

2011-07-11T19:53:00.000-07:00

My Dear Loyal Readers:

It has become apparent in recent weeks that I cannot keep up with "new comic Monday" as I had previously. Partly because I'm now working full-time, but also because I'm taking an online course, trying desperately to find a new job, keep my dishes out of the sink, and my laundry off the floor.

This by no means is my farewell. I have every intention of drawing 'til I die, but I need to take a few weeks off to regroup. I may post random drawings from time to time, but new comic Monday will be on hiatus for the next few weeks. I will update everyone when I'm back in the game.

I hope you understand. Send me links for inspiration!

<3 Brittany

#332: Another reason I hate my job

2011-06-15T13:34:00.000-07:00

I had EVERY intention of doing comics while I was in San Francisco this weekend. I packed my pen tablet and all the cables...but forgot the pen, which renders the pen tablet and cables completely useless.
Anyway, got back yesterday, but was too worn out from my massive sunburn to do anything. So here they are today.

By the way, this is how I feel.

While I was tablin'...

2011-05-23T22:04:00.002-07:00

I drew this while I was sitting at my table during the festival.

I thought about cartooning the tale of how I went into anaphylactic shock right as the 6pm rapture was supposed to take place, but decided that wasn't necessary. No one needs to see a cartoon of my near-death experience from a gluten-free cookie.

OLYMPIA COMIC FESTIVAL!

2011-05-17T23:00:00.001-07:00

Sorry the comics are late this week--I've been busy prepping for this:

The Olympia Comic Festival is this weekend, Saturday May 21, from 1:30-6pm at the Olympia Center. This will be my first-ever table, and I'm so excited. If you're in the area, definitely stop by and see me.

Today I spent way too much money printing zines. I have re-printed this one:

and this one:

And then I finally printed my newest one:

The final one is NOT a "...with Sprinkles" comic, but it is funny nonetheless.

If you're interested in obtaining a copy of any of these, please email me at brittanydalberg@gmail.com

Give me your name, mailing address, and tell me which one(s) you want.

Prices are as follows:

...With Sprinkles! Volume 1: $3 +1 shipping

100 Days in Portland: $5 + 1 shipping

The People on the Bus: $3 + 1 shipping

I'll email you my mailing address so you can send me payments. I'm not cool enough to take PayPal, but I do take cash or checks.

New comics for this week WILL arrive eventually, as soon as the epic task of stapling all 600+ pages of zines is complete.

OOOOH!

For this week, I'm just going to post comics as I get them done, since I'm too busy to crank out several in a row and I don't want to make anyone wait longer than they have to. So here's one. More to come--keep checking back this week.

hmmm

2011-04-25T22:40:00.000-07:00

Still busy.
Writing an essay that is a week late.
