.Things To Do.

#18: Career Advice

2008-11-23T18:35:00.000-08:00

It only took two years, but here's a new comic! I didn't feel like coloring this one. I have a few more idears for future comics, so let's see if I can update this again before I have kids.

#17: Tricia and the Stingray

2006-10-18T06:24:00.000-07:00

A special Fall Break edition of Things to Do. Also very special because it's written by Tricia, my favorite artsy cousin in NYC! Enjoy!

#16: Sorry, Pluto

2006-08-27T14:38:00.000-07:00

There is nothing NOT emo about Pluto.

I know all of you are saying, "Finalmente!" Yeah, my first comic in about forever! I've been very busy and important doing some last minute hanging out before everyone went back to school. I just got my wisdom teeth pulled and everyone is gone, so expect more [slighlty cracked out] comics this week.

#15: Meet Erica

2006-08-13T19:42:00.000-07:00

Reminds me of this article, which I haven't sent to Erica (until now, I suppose) for fear of encouraging this strange habit. (Thanks to Becky for sharing the article!)

BTW, E just moved out. V sad.

#14: Warped Wardrobe

2006-08-07T13:32:00.000-07:00

I've been waiting all summer to make this one. And since Warped Tour is this Friday, I thought it was time. Yaay! Let me know what you think!

#13: The Point

2006-08-04T11:49:00.000-07:00

Everyone has made the mistake... right? Sometimes it just cannot be helped.

Sorry I haven't updated in so long, I went camping and to see Ted Leo in C-bus! If anyone is looking for catchy punk-influenced indie rock, go buy Shake the Sheets. If you're looking for an exotic place to go camping, don't got to West Branch State Park. Still fun, though!

#12: Not So Punk

2006-07-23T16:23:00.000-07:00

"Caution" is one of my favorite Operation Ivy songs. Unfortunately it doesn't apply to any aspect of my life.

#11: Mom's Dream

2006-07-18T18:26:00.000-07:00

Meet Evelina, my older and wiser sister.

#10: Farmers Market Fun

2006-07-16T08:06:00.000-07:00

My job as market assistant is pretty low key. I usually spend three hours sitting at a table with flyers and canvas bags (only $10!). I read, I people-watch, I answer the occasional question. Only rarely do I get a really goofy character like this guy. Luckily Skot was there with a punchline ready.

#9: Drunk on Lactic Acid

2006-07-11T21:39:00.000-07:00

Laurey and I went for a "light" workout at the Y last week. She didn't want to do to much because she had to go into work later that afternoon. She got a little carried away.

This is my first comic with computer speech bubble things. I'm torn. Opinions?

#8: Boys will be boys... or something

2006-07-06T20:51:00.000-07:00

This is Dan's premiere in Things to Do! This is a very exaggerated version of our trip to the beach and doesn't put him in a very good light. However, he's a swell guy. But the bikini models still pissed me off.

Have a good weekend, everyone!

#7: Eyeliner Woes

2006-06-30T06:01:00.000-07:00

To this day I cannot put on eyeliner. I either poke myself in the eye or miss my eyelid all together. I try every once in a while when I'm feeling particularly adventurous, but it always ends disastrously-- with me scrubbing my eyes for the next half hour. Not the end of the world, I suppose!

#6: Simply the Best

2006-06-26T06:00:00.000-07:00

I remembered this situation after I dragged Jen to the semi-annual sale at VS this past weekend. We had fun making fun of their underwear, or lack thereof.

#5: Capisci?

2006-06-23T20:58:00.000-07:00

This was actually my first idea for a comic. I came up with it over winter term and here it is in its final form!

I had quite the flood of ideas today, so expect more updates in the near future.

#4: Commencement with a Twist

2006-06-21T08:25:00.000-07:00

My first comic using fonts! I like how I'm slowly finding ways to make my comic more webcomic-y.

PS: I'm really not this cynical...or bitter, for that matter.

Comic #3: Hobby Much?

2006-06-18T19:07:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I'm kind of on a roll. This one's about me and my buddy Jen. In the second panel, I left out wood carving on her end. She never ceases to amaze me with her random hobbies.

I haven't had any new ideas for comics in the past week or so. Luckily I had a week where I came up with about 6,845,498,746 ideas... so it kind of works out.

Happy Father's Day!

Comic #2: I'm 20, you know...

2006-06-18T17:16:00.001-07:00

This thought occurred to me during a recent Catch-22 show with my good (and tall) friend Hannah. My thought more or less applies to all ska bands, I think.

This is also my first comic in color, which adds so much to it in my opinion. It also requires a lot more time, but hey, it's not like I have anything better to do and I find I love finding the perfect color for things. Enjoy!

EDIT! Thanks to Skot for helping me steal colors from other comics, as well as providing original colors!

Welcome!! and Comic #1: Observations at the Gym

2006-06-18T08:10:00.000-07:00

Hello, hello! Welcome to Things to Do, my first attempt at a webcomic. I'm pretty excited about it. For now I expect it to be a summer project, as I don't have a scanner at school. I'm going to aim for a comic about once a week, and I think I'm going to have an e-mail notification-like system to let people know when a new comic has been posted. Email me (LoraD100(at)excite(dot)com) if you're interested!

The comic is called "Things to Do" because I'm rather obsessed with lists and also because my first unfinished comics were put in a folder that I labeled things to do. There you have it.

Please comment with any, er, comments... and thanks for stopping by!

Here's the first one from last week! (Click for a larger image!)
