Once upon a time, Eileen threw a tea party at her house. Like, a legit, fancy tea party, where everyone dressed up in fancy clothes and drank tea from saucers. To prepare for this party, I made my own monocle by destroying a pair of Harry Potter glasses. It was pretty damn amazing. Ever since that day, I’ve lived my live by a simple motto: Everything is better with a monocle. In today’s strip, I decided to prove this.

A 12.6% unemployment rate among recent fine art graduates is not the worst statistic to be confronted with upon graduation.

Within that 12.6% lies an even higher number of lower job prospects – a number that hasn’t even been calculated before, because it is so sad. In fact, a recent statistic confirms that our university’s fine art program has more unemployed graduates right now than there are pedophiles looking for work as babysitters.

This could actually be a steady line of work for someone, somewhere.

You’re at Café Chi-Chi. The ambience is affable. You sit across the table from your husband, partner, beloved, or cheatmate. He’s wearing Google I-Glasses, Prototype 3, Version 4.0. It’s 2017. People around act cool but secretly glance at him. You see the yearning, hungry looks.

“I won the glasses at the Google game-play day,” he says smoothly, his blue eyes shimmering. “Only three guests got them. The rest got ping-pong paddles. I’m going to OrangeRayTape you now, okay?”

Today’s strip is inspired by my own cats–my youngest cat in particular, who refuses to bury his poop and often poops on the floor right outside the litter box. I wanted to draw a comic about cats, so I decided to draw Ben and Winslow as cats and BLOW YOUR MINDS.
