I've had a rough day but my dog has been glued to my side and doesn't even want to go for walks without me so here's my nurse from a better day.

My spouse framed a piece of my thesis as a gift but a toy car is missing from the last panel & they papered over the back so we're not sure how to break in. 🙀

A comic made from cardboard and found objects, also missing dialog balloons, featuring blue cars, a person walking through the desert, and two car crashes.

Panel 4 - blue car drives on road past desert "the horizon has no end"
