This giraffe has nothing whatsoever to do with Easter or the arrival of spring. He just really, really likes lunchtime.
Leaves, again? My favourite!

Two days ago I posted a note spoofing Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness. Today's note continues to poke fun at the game, but this time at the futuristic "space ace" segment, where the player must travel the stars and best 20 foes (a goal which my husband found exceedingly difficult to accomplish, despite his extensive video game expertise). Note the references to Lost in Space, MST3K, Doctor Who, and Star Trek. [click picture for full view] 
...and he was never heard from again.
These things are true... 
...and I didn't even make it to the final puzzle.
My husband was on a classic gaming kick (as usual), and started playing a PC version of Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness. He loaded the game, named his character after delicious bread, and proceeded to dive right into the complex story and immersive graphics... by which I mean he pressed random keyboard shortcuts until he found the right (often unintuitive) action, and then wandered through a landscape that must have been designed in an early version of AutoCAD. For this note, I decided to spoof the gameplay with a not-so-subtle reference to CUBE. [click on picture for full view] 
"The fun cannot be halted!"
Finally! A somewhat realistic-looking cat! Huzzah! This note was inspired by the classic Sophia Loren movie Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow (Ieri, Oggi, Domani). 
"Mrrrowww, mew meow purrrrr" is not an acceptable excuse for skipping work, Augusto.
These are characters from the anime One Piece... drawn as peas. Pea is for pun? 
...two peas, three peas. Three peas! Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah!
My goal was to draw a sweet panda using the gestalt principle of closure, but instead it kind of looks like I put the WWF logo, Mickey Mouse, and a Care Bear in a blender. 
This panda looks shocked and confused by how poorly drawn he is.
Bad poems and cake... the story of my life. The text on the note reads: "Violets are violet Limes they are lime I failed at drawing So you get a rhyme ...and cake... because it's tasty...?" 
I didn't actually put any real cake in his lunch, just sad carrots.
Last summer we watched the movie Assault Girls, a live-action tribute to MMORPG's. Instead of being fully drawn in to the plot of the gamers, though, we were intrigued by the poor ill-fated snail, and were happy to see his triumphant word-eating return in the end credits. 
No snails were harmed in the making of this drawing.
Back in August of 2013, when I drew this, I had just cut bangs into my hair to better cosplay as Yomiko Readman for Otakon. My hair type is not really designed for bangs, though. This comic illustrates how my hair looked in the weeks following the convention... 
Not pictured: "Van de Graaff," "Cowlick," "Hypotenuse," and "I didn't know hair could do that."
