Gnats vs Orioles

 

In my general area, there are two baseball teams - the Nationals (called the Nats) and the Orioles (called the O's). That's all I have to say because I don't follow baseball and can't think of any more baseball things.

Explanation: Gnats sounds like Nats, and the Nats are a team that play the Orioles.

Text:
M: The gnats are attacking me!
L: It's because you're wearing an Oriole's hat.

Due Any Day

 

A throwback, but a True Story. Over four years ago, I was at an Ikea doing some last minute shopping (with my husband because I was only up for walking about, not moving things) before my firstborn made her appearance, and someone commented and I just had to respond because yep.

Title: *On a Saturday*
Rando: Wow, you look like you're due any day now!
L: Yep, Tuesday.
Rando: Wait, really?!

Barn Raiser vs Razer

 

Magna-Tiles are a great, creative toy but also easy to topple and make such a fun noise as they all come crashing down. 

Explanation: A barn raiser is one who builds a barn. A razer is one who destroys. 

Text:
M: With the Magna-Tiles, my preschooler is a barn raiser. My toddler, however, is a barn razer. 

White Red Blue

Why do we say things in specific orders when it really shouldn't make a difference what order they are? It's like saying Paper, Scissors, Rock. Yon and hither? Blue and black? 

Text:
R: My shirt is blue and white and red.
L: That's not the usual order we say those colors.

Pensacola

 

I finally made a new travel comic page! I have done five of my trips in the past, and this is the sixth entry. Here's a list of the previous trips - you should be able to find them by searching the "travel comic blog" on my site but I should come up with a better way to collate them:

Germany and Switzerland 1 | Germany and Switzerland 2 | Germany and Switzerland 3 | Germany and Switzerland 4

Great Dismal Swamp 1 | Great Dismal Swamp 2

Nebraska 1 | Nebraska 2 | Nebraska 3 | Nebraska 4

Canada 1 | Canada 2

Utah 1 | Utah 2

We had a great time in Pensacola seeing my youngest sibling graduate - the next family member set to graduate is my niece on my husband's side (she's only a few years younger than my brother). 

Here's some photos that are drawn in this comic:
