guilt trip - Noah's Archipelago

Noah’s Diary: January 20, 2026

The dreary January weather has given Noah the blahs and needs the bright colour that only some crazy octopus fabric can give.

Noah schemes to get Ursula to take up an interest in music by any means necessary… even if it means harnessing his mom’s powers of the guilt trip.

Ruth needs help with the pickle jar but it’s gonna cost her.

Ursula claims an educational exemption for Noah’s “put it back”… but Noah still ain’t buying it.

Ursula’s math lesson for the day is that 40% off of “put it back” is still “put it back.”

Quick sketch of Ursula trying to guilt Noah into spending hours trying to win her a teddy bear on the midway.

When it comes to quilt show shopping, Ruth takes two prisoners.

Ruth is away at a conference but that doesn’t stop her from keeping tabs on her deliveries.

Or lack thereof.

Father’s Day gets in the way of Frank and Noah’s Sunday morning fishin’ plans.

Noah’s reaction to Ursula’s story is quite opposite to her intended result.
