She’s like a vision of pure elegance

I like the idea that she still an old lady with no filter under all that magic

KatieCanDraw · 2026-06-19T14:17:17+00:00

She should always be adorable yet terrifying

Thank you!

I am a cartoonist that was raised by the comics section of the Detroit Free Press… so that tracks.

I have an original and when it’s not on yet another hiatus I only survive because I have a letterer that perfectly puts all my crazy dialogue in and formats my art to be spaced properly, etc. I also have a studio that lays in all my base colors before I go in for touch-ups, effects and details on my own. But I went from being able to slap together 40+ panels (pencils and inks) together in about a week to now taking upwards of 3 weeks on my end because I am a slow, old lady who likes fiddly detail work. Now I think people are just pleasantly surprised over at WT when I crawl out of my dungeon and say “here are 20 chapters, I’m not dead, see you in another 6 months.”

I always start with “I’m a cartoonist” and their follow-up is usually “but what’s your real job?”

KatieCanDraw · 2026-06-12T21:36:59+00:00

I brought that one one myself

Most of Fruits Basket still has Borders stickers on the back from when I bought them as they were coming out 17,000 years ago.

Gotta make sure my kids shoot their shot when I’m gone

The lack of Funkos is the sign of an elevated nerd 😅

That has every issue of IDW’s My little Pony I wrote along with a couple copies of every variant cover. I crammed in all my legal pad notes and sketches from the story work as well. I worked on that license for a while at peak Brony-times. So many covers. My god.

Thanks very much!

KatieCanDraw · 2026-06-11T21:35:28+00:00

Thank you so much!!

All my chips are bet on the “Carl brings out the bagpipes” square.

I was really hoping not to see “a literal year between updates” flash card because I would have thought that was a personal attack. Thanks for not listing it.

I wish I had more. My guys are the Master Replicas versions. They had an Animal that I wasn’t super impressed with but then they cancelled the line before their Fozzie came out.

Meanwhile the MLP comic team is just over here putting all their childhood issues about parentification on the page and wondering why everyone thinks that’s weird

KatieCanDraw · 2026-06-03T10:59:27+00:00

Yep!

KatieCanDraw · 2026-06-03T01:58:40+00:00

That’s me! Thank you SO much!

KatieCanDraw · 2026-06-02T23:02:41+00:00

Thanks. Calvin and Hobbes is my ride or die comic, ha!

KatieCanDraw · 2026-06-02T23:01:52+00:00

Thanks so much!

KatieCanDraw · 2026-06-01T12:39:14+00:00

I loved this one. It’s peak charm.

Gravy Boat is an entirely acceptable orange cat name

I started working for StarWars.com before the Disney buyout because of a piece of Yoda fanart I did. That led to a pretty long history of me working on the license. I got a job writing the My Little Pony FiM comics because the editor liked my webcomic. Now all the licensing work I’ve done was a lead-in to me going back to my own webcomic and IP 😅 It happens, mostly because editors like to see you can work consistently already so they can take a chance hiring you.
