The Vampire Dietaries
It’s been a while since we’ve seen Chauncy. Actually, that’s totally understandable because he isn’t a character in this comic strip at all and is instead from an older, now defunct strip of mine.

Defenestration: August 2021

Lily on 1st April,
Julie on 15th,
Rekha on 3rd May.
She didn’t complain, yell, or punch me in the face.
Poetry
“Another Server Calls me ‘Young Lady,'” by Tina Barry I’ve blown into the bakery, a witch

Visuals
“Captain Ahab: A Sonnet,” by Aaron Caycedo-Kimura For your Sunday enjoyment: a comic that is also a poem!
