Here Are My 39 Comics About My Childhood

I loved our cat Rosa SO much but was much too energetic and crazy for the poor cat to handle at first. I was more used to playing with dogs but once I learnt the right approach we got along very well.

A sappy one today. I recently found a picture of Amanda (I was in a habit of calling dogs human names) and got very sentimental. I know a lot of you have special connections with your current pets and the ones that you grew up with so I felt like it might resonate. I think Amanda taught me a lot about kindness and love as a child. Pets are so good.

I don’t actually remember this because I was TOO small but it is a story my Papa likes to tell about my first snow encounter. He put me down on the ground for just a second and I immediately stepped away and rolled down a hill.

Once, somebody lent my sister The Mummy DVD(with Brandon Fraser) and we watched it together one stormy night. I actually loved the movie (it’s still one of my cheesy faves), but sometimes I got a little spooked. I think the way she dealt with it to make me feel less scared was very sweet.

A Baby Beanie memory with my Papa. I don’t think there was actually any dogs around to eat it the vanilla ice cream (and probably good because I don’t think ice cream is good for them?) but I think it’s funny that I was so easily consoled by the prospect of my ice cream going to one.

Drawing this comic made me very nostalgic for those sunny days in the garden and looking around for snails. I sometimes made them little houses from leaves and flowers.

I was (like most kids) a child with way too much energy which promptly disappeared when I got to my teens. Now as a perpetually tired adult I wish I had a bit of that bounciness back.

That feeling when your Mama stops to talk to someone on the street and it takes so long that you age 1 million years and grow a sick beard.

I’m a serial creepy sleep-talker hahaha. I also got up in the middle of the night and stood over people’s beds ominously (which I can only imagine how “fun” that would be for the sleeping person).

Another one with my sister and Star Wars!

Obviously there’s nothing wrong with wanting car toys either but I just really wanted the cute little animals that kinder advertised to me! Anyone else remember back when those toys were actually good? My sisters used to collect them and we had sets of little hippos and frogs and other things like that. Those were the days.

Thus started an obsession that lasted for years and years. As a kid, I watched the original movie, the sequel, the tv show and the live-action movies.
