June Drawings

Well hello there,

I have a small collection of some sketches and comics to share. Once again there are a couple of horse-themed ones - I seem to be turning into a horse girl rather belatedly in life!

I do not have a horse in this fight
Something I said which sounds correct, but isn't quite correct. One of those instances where I say something and then realise I've mixed up English sayings - this is a mash up of "I don't have a dog in this fight" and "I don't have a horse in this race".

You can lead a horse to water and give it a nice warm bath
An alternative sentence I had written down was "You can lead a horse to water and boil it until tender" but I could not bring myself to draw horse soup.

I'm going to make a PDF and you can't stop me
I just think this is a really funny sentence. A direct quote from Sarah - as is the next one:

Easy Peelers
In my previous workplace, my colleagues used to find it really funny whenever I announced that I was going to eat an "easy peeler". I never really got what was so funny about it - not only does the name accurately describe the nature of the fruit (easy to peel), they are genuinely sold under this name in the supermarket. I suppose the supermarket is using this label so they can apply it to whatever fruit they've got in, be it mandarins, satsumas, clementines, or tangerines. I do not think I could tell the difference if you handed me one of each. The name "easy peeler" makes me feel safe: I cannot accidentally announce that I'm eating the wrong fruit. Easy peelers forever!

What are you doing, ATM?
Cheap joke inspired by a recent NYT Connections puzzle.

If you want to have fun ...
Quote from my nephew (3), which I found oddly poetic. I went for a baby beaver depiction to match his endearing nature.
