Divisive poetry

Pictured: a single rod-shaped bacterium holds a pen in one of its flagella and writes on a sheet of paper, with the words of the in-progress poem magnified for the reader: "anyone lived in a pretty how biofilm / (with up so floating many nutrients) / lag division replication quiescence / it signaled its didn't it divided its did". The bottom caption is the author's name: "e. e. coli".

They're going to take away my poetic license for this one.

every raging counts, no matter how tiny and odd

Top caption: "There are lots of ways to rage against the dying of the light." A stick figure with an intense expression holds a plate of waffles high and says, "I made experimental waffles. If you eat some with me, I think that counts too." A little arrow points at the figure's face and says, ""Bring your rage face".

open mic / open wound

thank you for that uncomfortable applause
(and thank you for reading my comics. I will try to make better ones when/if I get some sleep)

That colossal wreck

Cardiac contusions

Look, if I can't use this comic as an outlet for aimless weirdness from time to time then really what's the point?

cease & desist

I suppose I may have had a copyright-infringing fever dream.

To be a Lobsterman in love

I just remembered that Valentine's Day is a thing!

Don't worry, though. I got you covered. There's more on the way, too.

Feel free to share these with those you love. Just don't forget to tell them where they can find more love (that's right: at crustaceansingles.com. Seriously, though, please do send people here. Send help. And snacks.)

Mental Health

Roses are not necessarily red,

We actually named an entire color after violets, so who's calling them blue?

And this is not necessarily a declaration of love,

Except who am I kidding? I'm super into you.
