My Morning Routine

A Diary Comic

Hello everybody,

I hope you weren’t completely devastated by my not posting last week. I was still in a dead cat depression, so:

I have to say, it’s been difficult to write and draw comics every week for free. Especially when I’m really busy not making money in other ways! So, for the sake of sanity, I will be posting bi-weekly moving forward.

I appreciate you all sticking around while I figure out my rhythm here, I really do enjoy this platform and sharing my weird drawings and feelings with you all.

This week I felt inspired by a TikTok trend where people share phony “morning routines”. They’re not supposed to be phony, but we all know they are.

So here is my morning routine— in CARTOON form!…

---

Every morning I wake up at 4 am…

… and 5 am and 7 am… to pee— because my body wants to punish me for my excellent and compulsive hydration.

Every time I pee in the middle of the night I dread my darkened reflection. I mean, maybe Bloody Mary will finally show up from that time I summoned her at a slumber party in 1998.

I then officially wake up at 9:30 am where I suppress missing my dead cat by looking at obnoxious TikTok videos until I feel gross enough to wake up.

After this, I gleefully stumble downstairs to my favorite ritual of making myself an oat latte. Yes, I have an espresso machine and steam wand and it is my church.

After this I go back upstairs to my desk where I contemplate what work I’m feeling least avoidant of.

I then proceed to blackout for the next 7 hours as I apparently make art.

Well, that’s all folks! I hope you enjoyed seeing my typical cartoonist’s morning routine! See you all again in two weeks!
