a sketchy digital painting of Autumn from Nothing Doing, younger, with a big sweater and a fully red mullet, leaning against a pole. The lighting is similar to game boy era pokemon artwork by Ken Sugimori, though i could have been braver with the big white areas.

playing with an old pen i found

Summer and Autumn are standing in a winged ring behind a banner. They are accompanied by text that reads “Can you believe it’s been a year of Nothing Doing -- May 1 2023 - May 1 2024.” Summer: Remember, kids: Even the least terrible jobs are designed to exploit your labor and rob you of your personhood. Autumn: Build solidarity with your fellow workers, because the only way we can take it all back is by working together. Thanks for reading, and Happy May Day! In a small panel in the bottom right corner, Autumn holds up the plant she stole in strip 12. Autumn: Also, I don’t know how universal this is, but it seems to me that stealing stuff from the workplace has like, no consequences. Stealing is cool and sexy, and that’s the OFFICIAL Nothing Doing stance!

Nothing Doing is a year old today! I had some stuff to say about it, which you can read here. (It gets political; Free Palestine.) Thank you for all your support over the past year, and I hope you're as excited as I am about moving into year 2. Maybe Autumn learns a fire spell this year! Anything is possible in the realm of "the future"...

Comics

a comic with a school-age Jeanie from Nothing Doing sitting alongside an unnamed fox girl. p1: The two are sitting at their desks, Jeanie putting away a book and fox girl talking to her. Fox Girl: hey Jeanie, did you know if your hand is bigger than your face it means you’re gay? p2: Jeanie raises her hand up to her face while the fox girl rears back to slap it. Jeanie: Wait, really? p3: Someone off-panel says something indistinct, which distracts the fox girl. Fox Girl: Oh yeah, be right there p4: Jeanie, now alone, continues staring at her hand, which while big is not as big as her face. p5: She keeps staring. p6: She blushes. Jeanie, thinking: I guess those dreams really don’t mean anything.
