The wisdom of years

 

Negotiations

 

It's working great so far.

It's going to cost you

 

The only kind of victory against a toddler is a Pyrrhic one.

(My drawing hand no longer needs constant ice, so yes, this is what it looks like when my drawing hand is functioning normally.)

Extra perfect

 

Lulling

 

This is a real song I wrote in 2008, and it remains one of Crustacean Baby's favorites.

A powerful appetite

 

It's my fault for not being specific enough.

A literary classic

 

On Friday, he spent five minutes drawing the comic, but he was too tired to do a better imitation of the art style.

Remember, remember

 

The subject of today's Remake Monday was first posted on 2016-03-13.

Parenting evaluation

 

Today's comic is something I actually said to the Crustacean Baby. My wife keeps a list of things she overhears me say to him, and she just posted the second installment today. Read the rest of them at https://twitter.com/sharahmeservy/status/1496891272165920769

Object and subject impermanence

 

"Something important" being, as near as I could make out, "aaababawabambabaaa".

A rough realization

 

This is unacceptable.

Companionable gibberish

 

You ought to know

 

Infant tactics

 

Microsleeps all the way down

 

(NB when I'm the one starting to nod off, I make sure my human baby is safely placed, i.e. not in my tenuously conscious claws.)

The adaptation game

 

The only truly consistent thing is change

(For anyone worried that CrustaceanSingles has become a baby-based comic, consider this episode 3/3 of the newborn trilogy. I'll be returning to the usual eclectic mix tomorrow, although I'm sure the baby will return to the frame from time to time.)

Chronological disjunction

 

Lullabies

 

This is coming a little later in the day than usual, but we've been busy escaping the hospital. Everyone's finally home and enjoying my excellent lullabies.
