Found this gem in my morning pages that I did last year! It was a “morning drawing.” I've done over 5,300 morning pages, and this raw sketch captured exactly where I was. Anyhow, after 38 years of therapy, I still keep going on...and, dating sucks less this year!
This month for Pride AF, I’m exploring dating from every angle at Visual Liquid & the MorningPoems Podcast. You’ll see it in THEM CATS (two cats talking to each other in therapy), astrological compatibility, and in some love poems. Why not? Because healing happens in multiple states, and languages, man.

Creator Shoutouts
1. reminds me that connection beats perfect content every time. Also loving the latest and greatest from 2. and 3. are putting out lately, they caught my eye. Eyes.
1 - Dave’s essay on zines in “Zines are the Future”
2 - Mr. Condor Himself has a gorgeous new comic “Big as the Stars”
3 - Luke’s “Une Clope” is a clopetastrophe?
Rising tides, y'all!
The Original
I’m starting to play around in color even though color makes me want to barf…
THEM CATS…in your language
How did I choose translations? Well, I actually dated people from some of these countries. Yes, I sound like a slut, but hey. This comic is about dating, and I've apparently dated everyone! Each imperfect translation comes with real memories and fated connections. Who knew my dating life would become a multilingual therapy comic?
PS: Thank you!
Love to my worldwide subscribers in the UK, Canada, Germany, Greece, Romania, Egypt, Ghana, Indonesia, India, and Japan: Thank you, Merci, Danke, Ευχαριστώ, Mulțumesc, شكراً, Medaase, Terima kasih, धन्यवाद, ありがとうございます!
I see you! Well, I don’t see you, but I am listening. Wait. I’m really talking. I’ll shut up. Special shoutout to that one subscriber in Japan who loves it when I read my poetry on ’s MorningPoems Podcast because I put her and her cat to sleep at night! This one's for you! 🇯🇵😴🐱
