April Fools Redux

April 19, 2024April 3, 2024 by Pyra Draculea
Noah isn't sways by Ursula's Bono bait-and-switch.

You’d think by now Ursula would know that her parents actually do talk and so the same bait-and-switch toy store tactic won’t work a second time.

Agnes Doesn’t DIY

April 17, 2024March 23, 2024 by Pyra Draculea
Noah asks Agnes to teach Ursula to make doilies but gets an answer he wasn't expecting.

Noah miscalculates Agnes’ craftiness… also, the apple sure don’t fall far from the tree, but which tree?

Can We Go Now?

April 17, 2024March 22, 2024 by Pyra Draculea
Noah is duly impressed with the doilies Ursula has picked up... more so than Ursula herself.

Noah has a mistaken idea of where doilies should come from.

Thrifted Doilies

April 17, 2024March 20, 2024 by Pyra Draculea
Noah is still shopping and Ursula is still bored... but finds a stash of doilies to dump in the cart.

Ursula is still bored, even though they’ve only been here 20 minutes and it’s only the sixth thrift store of the day.

Leisure Suit Noah

April 3, 2024March 18, 2024 by Pyra Draculea
Noah is busy hunting for a vintage leisure suit at the thrift store while Ursula is bored and seeks to speed the process along

Noah drags Ursula to his favorite thrift store and she’s not thrilled… despite only having been there for 45 minutes and it’s only the sixth store of the day.
