November: the dark season: long weeks of an absentee sun. I hope you are all doing well in your earth-pits and sun-pits. Thank you for reading my comic.
Aug 18th, 2025
Ah, these late August days, later and later, the darkness coming earlier and earlier. My kids are getting ready to return to school, and so am I (as
a teacher, I mean). Last night I had the first real "back to school dream" of the season: I was back at my school, feeling unprepared to teach and
unfamiliar among the staff ... even though neither is the case in waking reality. One might hope that at 46 years old such feelings would go away,
or at least evolve a little, but apparently not.

A postcard-tier slot has become available in the Buttercup Festival Patreon. Sign up

We're at that subtle pivot of summer, when the cicadas by day and the crickets by night take over, and the darkness lips in at the edges of the clock.
