Special Midweek Guest Comic! featuring the debut of the future webcomics artist Charlie!

My friend's son drew this comic just for me!

Merry Christmas, Mom and Dad! (Two comics below, please check out both!)

But, did the manger have wifi?

Quick comic this week…so much to do for Christmas! If all goes as planned, there will be 2 comics posted next week!

:holds up the envelope against forehead: “You'd feel safe, secure, and bored out of your mind…”

As a final plug, everyone on your Christmas list would love to wear an image of gratuitous violence that references 12th century sculpture/rock music!

Well, it’s both a “studio” and a “studio,” get it? Get it? Badaboom shhhh (Quick Thanksgiving Weekend Comic! And a special inside joke bonus below!)

Comic Lael would have more luck with men if she would stop using pick-up lines from the Wife of Bath’s Tale…

Maybe the moral is that everyone is carrying around a suitcase full of nuts! Baggage check, please!

A sweet little story…even if you’ve heard this one, well, it is sorta funny! (4 images!)

This comic was one image, but it wouldn't appear properly when posted, so I split it into four. Please click on all 4!

It may just be me, but I feel safer in drinking establishments when tall guys aren’t carrying around real chainsaws!

It’s not self-deprecation, it’s being able to laugh at myself…

Aside from the hair rollers made out of beer cans and the onstage simulated fellatio, it was a strange night…

Folio 45r depicts a rousing “Power Hour”!

Way to be publicly emo… “Losing love is like a window in your heart, everybody sees you're blown apart.” (Thanks, Paul Simon!)

Brand New Book of Lael Product--Totes!

Good News! The new batch of t-shirts has arrived! If you've ordered one, you'll get an email this week. Also, check out the new product: totes. Modeled below by the lovely Angel and Athena. :-) Again, the blue is not that bright; it's the flash. Also below, the lovely Jacquelyn wearing her Book of Lael t-shirt in Greece! Let me know if you'd like to place an order for a shirt or a tote.

Any resemblance to real persons (or deities), living or dead (or resurrected), is purely coincidental.

“But, with so-and-so, it’s different…”

OR A Bit of Instruction in How Much We Really Know about Art History…

An ad for the Book of Lael and Hopkins all in one image!

This is why you always insist on leaving Charles Village…

Consistency, thy name is not humanity

Sketchity Sketch Sketch

No new comic today; I blame my birthday! But, for your amusement, check out some sketches I’ve done at bars and museums over the last few months. The ones from May and June are from memory of slides I saw at work.

We would have included testimonials, but our members were too busy searching JSTOR for the perfect gift for that special someone…

The Boy’s Name Option Was “Aloysius”

Wait, it’s August???? Gahhhh!

As noted on at least one other occasion, this comic was certainly inspired by countless comics by the amazing Jorge Cham. If you haven’t, or if you haven’t lately, check out phdcomics.com!

Oh, the Games People Play!

Diary Comic about the Wonders of Air Conditioning

Why You Should Never Judge a Book by Its Cover…and He IS Actually an Improvement! (If you’re confused, see last week’s comic. May or may not help!)

And I went to bed on time last night…

Quite a bit of an exaggeration, but hey, we’ve all been there…(Disclaimer: These four people DO NOT represent anyone specific! I promise!)

The door knockers must be under a speech bubble…
