Travel coffee - A silly Horsey Headface comic

There is a character I was messing around with a while back that I called "Horsey Headface".

How it started

I was originally messing around with this as an idea for a children's book character.

I drew it as a kid dressed in a cowboy getup in the vector program Inkscape in an old '60s children's book style. But then I decided to give it a horsehead.

But truthfully, by the time I was done, I didn't really do anything with it and felt like drawing it all out in a vector program took too long.

Drawing it more cartoon-like

I felt like trying to make the character goofier. So I was trying different cartoon-like styles.

I drew this version of Horsey Headface tap dancing on the Google Keep app on my phone.

I kinda felt like I would enjoy drawing the character this way a little more. Also, it wouldn't take me as long to do.

I thought maybe I could even animate it so I drew a version of it in the FlipaClip animation program on my phone

Then I thought I might want to try it out as a silly nonsense webcomic. Which is the one that I came up with at the top of the page.

We'll see what happens

I did the one comic so far. I also want to come up with a few more characters for this idea. So maybe I'll turn it into a webcomic soon.

December snow.

It's snowed a few times this year I don't know why this time felt different.

Still dealing with items.

I had to create a claim on the USPS website for the package in New York. And I had hoped I could ship my laptop from home but the return instructions said it had to be sent from the UPS facility.

Missing label.

When I took the label back to the post office he told me I need to bring my own tape to put it on the package next time. I'm hoping there won't be a next time.

Paint run.

A few years ago scheduling MRI's would consume our whole day . Now we were happy that we could just do something to help other people in some way. Even if it was just driving to get the paint they needed. And we did make it back in time for for Merijoy's appointment.
