Cats Talking Words

Comics (containing cats) borrowing words from overheard conversations, as heard and drawn by  Wingéd Elf Girl (Lauren Sparks). New comics midnight Sunday nights.

April’s in the sewer.

These words are from @jephjacques‘ blog on https://questionablecontent.net/, from at least 10 years ago guessing by where it was written down in my Book Of Words. And I’m still jealous of the southern hemisphere’s weather this time of year 🥶

Questionable Content is a comic that my friend Scully was already a fan of and recommended to me in college (probably around 2007), and I have been reading it ever since. Lots of great webcomics have come and finished... Octopus Pie, American Elf, Girls With Slingshots, Nimona and Mare Internum being some of my favorites. But Questionable Content is still going, and though I haven’t met him, I love Jeph for it <3

I am... concerned.

Pulling this one out of the VAULT of 2011, and posting a day early, because it is the superbowl? And apparently that is a Big Deal? And this seems thematically appropriate, maybe? ...???

A painful memory o____o

HOURLY COMICS!!! It only took me two extra days to finish them this year! (How much extra time last year? Cannot remember.) This is honestly my favorite art challenge - a short sprint of one day, but I like it even more than 24-hour comics day because the subject is both set and loose. Just, EVERY HOUR, A COMIC! How much info? How detailed? UP TO YOU

In retrospect, I should’ve sketched in ballpoint pen again - but my desk was littered with blue pencils, felt tips and markers from another project and those are what I automatically picked up. 🙃 OH WELL I like how they turned out!

“Hammerhead worms” might be the worst phrase of the week, but I haven’t decided yet. Thanks for reading!~ ❤️

I did Hourly Comic Day this week! Yaaaaaaay

HR says: “maybe go get a candy bar instead”, but that’s not as healthy, HR! We need some fiber and such! :o

Some spicy words from the Word Bros podcast, haha! Creating a comic together can be pretty intimate, you know ;D

CELEBRATE!!! There’s so much crap always happening, take EVERY EXCUSE! :D

[catstalkingwords]

An admirable display of not swearing.

Oh hey, some words from the Word Bros! :D This one is less funny, and more advice (sorry, I don’t know who Walter actually is). As someone who’s done a lot of artist alley tables, this is really true. Talking about making comics is easy - making them is SO HARD, especially as a second job. I love it when the Word Bros podcast gets into serious topics like this one, and yet it’s always somehow still funny. This quote is from episode 169 with Caleb Palmquist. More info is at their website ~ https://thewordbros.com/

Said by the inestimable Professor Hannah McGregor on her podcast, Secret Feminist Agenda. A gentle reminder that there’s only 1 week left to buy cute, hand-made paper comics of Cats Talking Words (and other stuff), with free shipping (code ELFSHIPS), from my Etsy store. Just because that one holiday is over doesn’t mean you can’t have new comics. ❤️

[catstalkingwords]

I hope everyone is having a happy family time at any holiday you celebrate! 😅 Posted a day early with an extra comic tonight at the usual time for a Christmas present ❤️❤️❤️

[catstalkingwords]

Positively terrifying. 😍

Only a couple weeks left to buy adorable handmade comics including Cats Talking Words, with free shipping from my Etsy shop! (use code ELFSHIPS)

[catstalkingwords]

Whoops, a day late. Words of wisdom from comedian Tamer Kattan. 💕

Reminder that you can buy cute, handmade paper versions of Cats Talking Words comics from my Etsy store, and there’s free shipping through new year’s day with the code ELFSHIPS. Stay warm!!

[catstalkingwords]

O look, it’s the WORD BROS! :D I’m working on a very slow-motion project with Bob Frantz and Kevin Cuffe: I'm gonna continue to make comics with words from their podcast (HA, I was doing it already) until there are enough for a book! The Word Bros podcast is conversations with Kevin and Bob, two comics authors, with other comics-making folks of all types! It's particularly great for making #CatsTalkingWords comics from because the episodes are really conversational and often very funny!

This comic is from episode 168. More info over here: https://thewordbros.com/

SUBVERSIVE COLOR CHOICES!

From a discussion on the lovely podcast Oh Witch Please.
