Phew, here is the next page at last, after mum left again. :op

Also, check out the poll on the left, about a possible printed book that collects Driftwood once these nine chapters are all finished …

Intermission!

I did a 24 hour comic that turned out to be a Driftwood story.

I’m not sure if I can manage a new page on time next Monday, since my mum is most likely coming to visit, but I suppose this can at least partly make up for that.

Eva is passing down the eternal wisdom of the Elmgren family. V`(oo)´V (Of course, that thesis is limited to human men.)

I drew this faster and sloppier than my shadow would ever dream of. And photoshopping it was faster than usual, too, because I finally realised that I don’t need to select areas that I want to fill with the paint bucket. Whee!

I don’t eat oatmeal porridge regularly anymore (because it’s a pain in the ass to wash the dishes afterwards, and bread is extremely cheap in Germany), but I have a special relationship to it. We were raised on porridge breakfasts, and my piggy Sergei too (he got warm porridge in the morning and cold porridge leftovers in the afternoon, with vegetables, milk and other nice things).

The thing about how it comes out totally different depending on who makes it is something I have observed in real life. It makes me laugh when I try in vain to express in words how my mum’s and my sister’s porridges reflect their personalities. :o)

If you think Seraphine is getting a bit too excited about that oatmeal porridge, you should have seen my piggy Sergei.

Speaking of breakfast, today I had the most delicious breakfast ever. And it was all because I had “nothing” in the pantry.

I had:
* 1 egg
* Kimchi brine
* Some flour
* Corn oil

I mixed together the egg with several tablespoons of kimchi brine (the watery stuff that is left after you eat all the cabbage and other vegetables) and as much flour as it took to give the mixture a thick, kind of pancake dough like texture. Then I fried it in a big frying pan. Once crispy on the edges, I ate it. AND IT WAS SO GOOD.

I make my own kimchi (it’s easy!), so I usually have some kimchi brine around that I can put in all kinds of stuff. I had never tried to put it in a “flour-egg-omelette” like this, but this will for certain not be the last …

Yes, I’m hungry again now.
