Party for Mom Part 01

I should preface, this is all from my memory of someone who didn't do the planning, cus I was probably 10 or so when this happened. So some of the details may be off.

The Purple Kangaroo

When I was little I sometimes had nightmares about a purple kangaroo who wielded lightning from their hands.
Another version of this distraction tactic is "don't think of the white polar bear" which is considerably more boring.
On an interesting note, because of my experience with this as a child, if I notice a kid starting to become too worried about the consequences of a purple kangaroo, I will add in the White Polar Bear. And if they still looked concerned I turn it into a whole skit about different coloured animals not to think about, and just keep adding more and more onto the list until the child starts adding their own, at which point it becomes a game.

Quick Break Announcement

Just a heads up: Once Upon A Donna is going to take a week off, so June 22-June 26 there will be no comic uploads.

This month has been incredibly busy and I need to take a quick break to play catch-up on things.

I hope you are all doing well, staying safe, and keeping in touch with your loved ones.

Thank you for understanding, and as always thank you for reading!

Take care my friends and relations!

-Donna

Avoidance is Key

I mean, it's just how I used to shop, but amped up to 11 now.

Akela's Greeting

Silver lining is that he gets so excited that he can't maintain it, and he calms down much faster then he did before.

Things I like: (Some) Spooky Summers

If I type in "spooky animated ghost stories" into a search bar, I get mostly urban horror. And that's not what I'm after. If there's a high probability of it happening in the real world, then I'm not into it. Also I don't like too much gore or when they super focus on the victim suffering. Like that scene in Jurassic World where that one lady just keeps getting attacked by different dinosaurs. What was WITH that scene?? But if it's kinda hokey and got a vampire or other mythological creature in it, I'll check it out (but even that list has specific requirements).

Chicken and People

This is more or less how Jeanne got one of her first jobs.

Continually Learning

Wake Up, Wake Up........Wake Up.

The longer I try to ignore him, the more he softly whines and shifts his weight back and forth.

Warm Weather Woes

Warmer weather also brings out more people that this introvert wants to be far away from.
But the alternative is more Winter weather, and I'm SUPER done with that by Spring.

New Jar of Peanut Butter

Any spreadable product that has a perfectly flat surface: margarine, peanut butter, cheese whiz, jam, REQUIRES you to carve the first letter of your name into it before you use it. Otherwise...it's just wrong!
