Diary Comics, Dec. 21-25

It’s another Thursday Afternoon With Edith, and here are a bunch more comics from my journal! I’m publishing everything through my new baby’s birth, because it seemed silly to draw it out any longer than I have! She’s now four months old. 👶 (Previously.)

Ahhhh, lovely. Especially that last frame that harkens back to the ultrasound pic. 💞

Giving birth and then drawing a seven-panel comic about it the very next day? That's pretty metal. Thanks, as always, for sharing these with us. I always look forward to Thursday afternoons with Edith!

Ps. I would totally buy a book of your diary comics.

Congrats! The Ms. Rachel dinner scene was relatable. And the new baby/new wife concept is hilarious. Looking forward to the name reveal!

Ok, that did it. Just paid my Kottke membership on the strength of Edith’s daily comics.

I’m still laughing about the new wife line and remember that brief but potent sadness associated with the first child losing its undivided attention just before baby 2 arrived.

And it was fun when you broke the 4th wall referencing us, the Kottke readers - great post.
