Pet Sketches

You get no funny today. Sorry.

So I figured if I'm going to miss days, I may as well have filler. I sketched a few of my pets. And a horse. There's really not too much to say here, my drawing has improved a bit. I've done colored pictures of characters that I'm fond of as well, and you will find those directly below this text post. Bam. I am amazing.

Tadaaaaaa. I'll be in DC for the majority of this week, so I wouldn't get your hopes up for this friday. I do have comic ideas and loooong plane rides though, so who knows!
FAREWELL, DEAR READERS.
Laura.
P.S. Yes, I did feel like changing up the ending.

Sleep Schedules?

Fun Fact: I believe I stayed up until 2 AM twice after I wrote this. Possibly three times. My memory of those nights is fuzzy.

...
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY, GUYS.
Yes, I said I would be back soon. No, I was not back soon. Honestly, I bet you expect this from me by now, and I hate to disappoint!
...No? Not funny? Moving on!
Alright, three things that actually contributed to my absence:
1) School, which I have been doing better in.
2) An as-of-right-now undiagnosed heart condition. That's not better, but I've been informed it will not kill me, so... Hooray for setting the bar low?
3) Me being insane and neurotic.
Anyway, I haven't stopped drawing. Just stopped drawing comics. (In fact, this one is slightly old, so I automatically hate it for not being the newest thing I've drawn. Okay, I'm kidding.) Mostly. So I do hope any hypothetical readers of this website will notice upcoming art improvement.
Hopefully, I'll be able to come back soon. Again, two of three issues stated above remain unresolved, so we'll see how this goes, but WITH ANY LUCK AT ALL, I'll be back soon. After more heart monitors. Joy oh joy.
I hope to type in this small beige box again soon!
P.S. You guys can't get mad at me because it's my birthday today. I timed that perfectly, huh?

Catching Up

Super-powered girls who incorporate skirts into their outfits are dumb. I will not budge on that.

Hey guys.
...Dang, it's been a while.
First off, happy new year. May your 2012 be full of sunshine and rainbows and worlds continuing to exist. Second off, I've mostly partially kind of resolved some aforementioned health issues-I mean world saving, so I should have more time to draw comics. Third, and this is an important third,
WELCOME BACK, COMICS. NEVER LEAVE ME AGAIN!
See you next Friday.

Thanksgiving

I thought we were all saying things we were thankful for. Apparently I was mistaken.

Early (or, depending on your view, rather late) comic because of Thanksgiving. The morally ambiguous holiday that pretty much only America celebrates, even though we were British when the original event occurred. Go figure.
Anyway, I hope you all have a nice time with your families today (And try not to be as cynical as I am.).
-Laura
P.S. I forgot to mention this initially, but I'm trying out a new drawing application. Let me know what you think!

Power Outage

And it was more than three days. And there was no heat in my room.

That basically sums it up. Power outages all over the place here in Massachusetts, though it was apparently still not enough to get me out of school. I've also been...well, not exactly sick. It appears that my vocal chords and I just can't work out our differences like mature adults. Possibly because I'm not legally an adult and they're not legally people.
Anyway, I should be back to regular updates soon.
See you next week!

Doodle Interpretation

And I look significantly less confused than other people do upon seeing my doodles.

Okay yes. I'm late. But I do have a couple reasons!
Reason one: I have two essays and a standardized test this weekend. (My worries can be summed up as "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.")
Reason two: A friend of mine asked me to draw something. Flattery, people. So, I have to do that right after I finish typing this.
-Laura
P.S. Also I've been watching a lot of Mythbusters, I'll be honest.

In Summary

They could do better than peanuts. I think they stick to them through a warped sense of tradition.

They're jellyfish of death, I tell you!

Duty? Hee hee hee "Doody".

I think that sums it up pretty nicely!
Summer was fairly busy, (For all you aspiring students, I have a tip: Do not leave summer reading for the last week of summer) and school has been even busier. I'll admit that school has mostly been busy because me and essay writing do not mix well.
And, to answer the question that I'm sure has been on all of your minds:
No. I am not dead.
With any luck, I'll be typing in this box again on Wednesday!
-Laura

Reality

I mean, it's not as great as Portal. But still!

And they say that video games are bad for you.

Absence

I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I AM VERY HUMOROUS

Hi everyone.

I am back, and I apologize for having been away. Regular schedule back shortly! As in Friday! Woo!

It's good to be back.

-Laura

Communication

C-H-A-M-E-L-E- Oh, never mind.

HELLO AGAIN!
Man, has this been a comic dry spell. When was the last post? May?
Thank you guys for sticking with me. Exams were pretty tough, but now I am on summer break! So I hope I'll have much less work to do (ha ha SAT prep a job and an internship). I think I'll be able to get back to the twice weekly schedule!
By the way, the band in this comic writes songs about Doctor Who. I think they're pretty great.
See you guys soon. Well, sort of anyway.
Bye!

LED Throws

LED lights attached to a magnet and a battery. Fun near-vandalizing times. Fun times.

-ntinued.
Have I mentioned how much I love LED lights? I love them a lot. So shiny.
Well, it's late(ish) and I still have a ton of work to do. So this must be farewell.
Goodbye!

Straight A's

It's the rabies face!

Above is my explanation for why I haven't updated since April.
School has been complete and utter madness, which makes it really difficult to keep perspective on the schoolwork itself. And then we have rabies face.
I owe you..... I think four comics? I have two, so maybe I'll try to keep it at owing you two comics until the schoolwork lightens up in.....
June?
I'm gonna DIEEEEE.
In all seriousness, I apologize for the absence. One more comic posted tonight!
To be co-

Real Life

Wow. That drop looked shorter when I wasn't falling down it.

.....And, it's continued!
First of all,
ONE THOUSAND VIEWS.
Huh.
Thanks for reading. You guys are awesome. In honor of this (also because I felt like it) you get non-zombie eyes today.
Astonishing, I know.
Also, I have a DeviantArt account for extra doodles at http://detrimental-sanity.deviantart.com/ That has a grand total of one picture that isn't already on the blog.
Now, I have to go do work that I really don't want to do.
Goodbye!

School Work

I had way too much fun drawing those books.

Wow. It's been a while, hasn't it?
Well, only a few days, but still. I'll have an actual comic up tonight. And a longer post!
TO BE CONTINUED.

Doctor Who?

I am so excited. Why, would there be something else this weekend?

I AM SORRY.
I've been running on like five hours of sleep every night. And essays and.....bluh.
I'll put up something else later, but I wanted to put this up before Doctor Who comes on.
By the way, did you know that I now have an email for this? It is:
detrimental (dot) sanity (at) gmail (dot) com
Please replace all the (dot) s with periods and the (at) with @. I am not a fan of spambots.
Well then! Have a nice day!
Goodbye.

Doodles

A pokémon joke was inevitable, really. Please, let someone get it.

Hello there!
It's a three day weekend (in Massachusetts because we have, essentially, a made up holiday), and I wanted to post some of the random doodles that I make. And also a pokémon joke.
Anyway, doodles. The circles and the snake are doodle games (or variations of doodle games) from youtube.com/vihart.
I'm going to go take care of some hermit crabs.

Doodles

The doodles just keep getting more extravagant. My notebooks get stares.

Hello!
I guess I got bored with random doodles that I throw out. If I'm going to spend time on something, I may as well make it needlessly extravagant.
.....Perhaps not the best idea.
Anyway, this is a doodle sort-of-game that I found at this youtube channel! You might want to look at it if you like math.
Well, I'm tired. Goodnight!

The Internet

I'm kidding. Of COURSE I have a social life. HAHAHAHAHA.

Hello!
Instead of commentary on comics, I'm going to do something my favorite YouTubers have been doing!
Google Auto-Complete once again proves that people are weird! (Thank you vlogbrothers!)
Starting with "When will".
When will the world end?
I don't know! Whoever asked this will probably be dead by then anyway, so I wouldn't put too much thought into it.
When will I get my tax refund?
I don't do taxes. I hope google answered this for you.
When will I die?
This is something no one should know. At least, if Doctor Who has taught me correctly.
When will The Social Network be on demand?
THIS IS OUTDATED. MOVIN' ALONG.
When will the iPhone 5 come out?
Good god, the 4 just came out a little while ago! I swear, if apple keeps having this many revolutions it's government will end up in shambles. (GET IT BECAUSE EACH PHONE IS REVOLUTIONARY. MOVING ON.)
When will my life begin-lyrics.
Boring.
When will I get my tax refund 2011?
Although I find it interesting that you are addressing an entire year, your question is still boring.
When will Verizon get the iPhone?
I have a hard enough time trying to understand politics that matter, I am not trying to understand phone politics.
When will I see you again?
A long time ago tomorrow.
When will I get my w2?
I actually had to look this one up. And for what? TAXES.
GOOD GOD, WHAT IS IT WITH GOOGLE AND TAXES?!
Right. Anyway.
I've added xkcd to my links! I think it's a pretty great comic. It has science jokes and stick figures and it is basically amazing. Be warned that it can be pretty adult. So if you're easily offended, you might not want to check it out. Actually, you might not want to look at mine either if that's the case.
Goodnight!
P.S. Early comic, yay.

Spectrometer

Oh god I heard it break.

It freaks me out when they emphasize how expensive something is in the Lab instructions, which isn't a bad instinct given how prone I am to breaking things.
Alright! All the updates are in! I AM CAUGHT UP!
I have to go do a happy dance, goodnight!

Hug The World

This is extremely silly!

Look! I brought you a special hand-drawn comic!
One update to go!
