Beg for air, go to bed, go for a run...while black.

This is about the recent events involving innocent black lives being taken by police brutality in which no accountability has been taken. Being black should not mean being less likely to survive. Try begging for air, going to bed, or going for a run while black. None of these people deserved this, may they rest in true peace, finally. We need justice, we need accountability, and it needs to happen now. This is not okay, if you have the ability to speak up, do it.

Taking inspiration from last week’s task of showing our quarantine schedule, this comic illustrates my cat’s quarantine schedule.

As someone that’s “5’2”, I’ve always valued having tall friends – they’ll always reach in tall cabinets and high shelves for me, they’re a great cover in high sunshine, and they’ll even let me take center stage in photos. Everbody knows being tall has it’s perks, but I wanted to share some of the perks of having a short friend by sharing a few of my real-life experiences as being a short friend to others!

Sometimes I wonder if this is how my dog feels during these Quarantine times 🙂 My attempt for a four-panel comic strip for this week’s #aigadesignflex challenge.
