Right Over Here - LWS Comic #169

Right Over Here – LWS #169

Hey there LWS fans and welcome to another great comic strip called “Right Over Here.” Continuing with Ryan and Stacy’s grocery excursion, we find them agreeing to meet up after Ryan grabs a bag of nacho chips. Stacy replies, “Okay, I’ll be right over here.” However, when Ryan returns Stacy is gone, seemingly vanished off the face of the Earth.

Anyone who has gone to the grocery store will understand our plight. Lol. How many times have you looked the other way for a tasty treat on a shelf only to lose your significant other within seconds. You think to yourself, it was only a few seconds, they must be right around the corner. WRONG! They are gone, and you are left alone to wander the store in search of them, narrowly missing them with every passing aisle. Then it hits you, yes, you should go the other way! Brilliant. But wait, what if your significant other thinks the same thing, then you’ll miss them….Hmm, yes big brain calculations here. You continue on…but alas, your spouse was never seen again. Or at least it seems that way when walking for 20 minutes in the grocery store.

Next time someone says “right over here” remember my writings. Haha.  Anyways, that’s it for this week’s strip. If you liked Right over here than please read my other comics in the grocery arc, starting with Business. Until next time. Happy shopping. 🙂

 

Smoked Meats - Living With Stacy #168

Smoked Meats – Living With Stacy #168

Hey there LWS comic fans, I have a new strip for you called “Smoked Meats.” Stacy gets a whiff of third hand cigarette smoke and has a coughing fit. Wondering where it’s coming from, she asks Ryan, who can only smell the smoked meats directly in front of him. Lol.

This was another true to life story, complete with sarcastic quip at the end from our beloved Stacy. Haha.

If any of your are familiar with grocery shopping you’re going to love the comics coming up. For those of you who just arrived, check out “Business” which is the very start of what I’m calling the “Grocery Store Arc.”

Well that’s it for this week’s strip. Please come back and read more on my website. And if you’re feelin’ rad you can pick up my book as well! 🙂

 

Carried Away - LWS Comic #167

Carried Away – LWS Comic #167

Why hello there LWS fans, I have a brand new comic strip for you today called “Carried Away.” Today’s gag builds off of last week’s comics Good Spot and Business. We see Ryan and Stacy enter the Soupastore. Stacy reminds Ryan to not get carried away and immediately Ryan ogles and gasps at the produce. “They have Avocados!” Lol.

To celebrate, Ryan picks up a pair of avocados and does the “Guacamole Song.” An infamous song that I’m sure you are all well aware of. It’s a bit of an ear worm, so if you listen to it you may get it stuck in your heads for eternity.

So that wraps up today’s strip. If you liked “Carried Away” then you’re going to love the next batch of Living With Stacy comics coming up. Stay tuned and don’t forget to share LWS on social media. Now I must go eat some Guacamole! 🙂

 

Good Spot - LWS Comic #166

Good Spot – LWS Comic #166

Heyo LWS fans and welcome to another new comic strip called “Good Spot.” Not it’s not your dog, and no it’s not cool spot from the 7up commercials. Ryan and Stacy venture to the Soupastore (lol) to get cat food and cat litter. You may remember that from last week’s comic called Business.

Anyhoo, Ryan sees a good spot to park but Stacy being a little OCD has her own ways of finding the perfect spot. The first one is too cramped, the second is well, just not right. Finally, after circling the parking lot 3 times, they park the car….miles away from the store. Haha.

Do you know anyone who takes their time parking? Or has a roundabout way of achieving a simple goal? Do you also laugh and find joy in that person? I know I do. Sometimes I can’t help exclaiming the obvious though, like “WTF hun?” Haha. I kid, I kid.

Anyways, that’s it for this weeks comic. If you liked good spot then you’ll love my other Living With Stacy comics. Later gators. 🙂

Business - Living With Stacy #165

Business – LWS Comic #165

Heyo LWS comic fans, and welcome to another awesome strip called “Business.” Ryan and Stacy attempt to relax on the couch while their two kitties, Tori and Jeanie, stare at them endlessly. Ryan mentions to Stacy that he suspects they may be out of cat food or cat litter. To which Stacy replies “Why do you say that?” Haha, well just look. 😉

For any cat lovers out there, you know the drill. Cats will stare for so many reasons. Litter, food, attention, contempt, sometimes they stare up at the wall like a ghost is there. You have to wonder…what the hell are they looking at? Can they see through walls? Do they have thermal vision? Whatever it is, they definitely mean business. Lol.

Aw my, kitties are great, aren’t they? If you liked this cat comic then you’ll love my other feline strips like Catnip, Happy Birthday, and Stinky Kitty.

Well that’s it for this week’s blerb, I hope you enjoyed Living with Stacy. Tune in next week for more greatness. The grocery store arc is coming up and it’s going to be fantastic. 🙂

Bring It Back - LWS Comic #164

Bring It Back – LWS Comic #164

Heyo LWS comic fans, and welcome to another new strip called “Bring It Back.” In today’s gag, Ryan sports a fantastically retro pimp hat from the 70s. Stacy giggle while Ryan is admiring it in the mirror. She jests, “Nice hat.” With Ryan retorting, “Thanks, I’m trying to bring it back.” Stacy jests again, but then BAM! Ryan strikes a super sexy pose!. That’s right baby, I’m bringing it back. Lol.

Anyways, I thought this one was cute. I colored the hat purple just to give it that extra, Snoop D to the double G aesthetic. The pose was inspired by Micheal Jackson. Sham’on! Haha.

Well, that’s it for this week’s strip. If you liked Bring It Back, you’ll love my other Living With Stacy comics, like Modest and Celiac. If you want to check out all my other works, you can check out my Flapjack Studios website. 🙂

French Fries - LWS Comic #163

French Fries – LWS Comic #163

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I have a new LWS comic out today called “French Fries.” This one is a true, word for word comic strip. Ryan smells french fries one night on the town. Stacy smells a plant. Ryan, trying to figure out the word “potato” asks, “A french fry plant?” And, this is where things go weird, Stacy interprets “plant” as a type of factory with her response of a “You mean a potato factory?” Haha, oh my the English language.

As I said before, this is a straight word for word comic strip. It was so odd, filled with misunderstandings, a fun conversation leading nowhere, I had to draw it. 🙂

I hope you liked it as much as me. Anyways, that’s it for this week’s LWS comic strip. If you liked today’s gag, then you’ll love Waiter and Depth Perception.

Catnip - LWS Comics #162

Catnip – LWS Comic #162

Hey there LWS fans, I have another new hilarious strip called “Catnip” out for you today. As the title reveals, this one’s about cats and the ever so drug like substance, catnip. Anyone with felines knows how the story goes. 🙂

However, in today’s comic, Ryan would like to believe that it’s not always about the treasure, but the journey. You know, like all those awesome 80’s flicks. To quote my own words, “It’s about the adventure!” Add a British accent if you wish, for dramatic effect.

Alas, for our cat Tori, it may be more about the catnip than the adventure. Haha. Anyways, if you liked this week’s comic, then you’ll love my other cat themed ones like Happy Birthday and Battle Mode. Check back often for more great Living With Stacy strips.

Toboggan - LWS Comic #161

Toboggan – LWS Comic #161

Well hello there LWS comic fans, I have another new winter strip for you called “Toboggan.” First up, isn’t the word toboggan a weird one to say and spell? Haha. I do believe it is native Canadian word meaning a type of sled transport of the Cree and Innu.  Neat huh?  Anyways, I’ve always called it a toboggan, thus is the title of today’s comic.

Ryan and Stacy go sledding during the first winter’s snow. What fun! Gasp, but it looks like Ryan’s sled is heading right towards in unsuspecting toddler. What is he to do?  Well, I’ll tell you. Since this is a true story (some of my readers out there may recall this) I can remember it clearly.

I shouted and shouted for the kid to get out of the way, but he kept his oblivious pace into the path of my sled. At that point, I had two choices as I knew I was going to plow into him. One, jump out and have the sled still hit the kid, but with less force, or two (you may have guessed it), stay in the sled and try to grab the kid as I hit him.

I opted to grab the kid, but my calculations on the force were incorrect. The moment I hit the kid, he popped into the air and flew over my head. I raised my hands up and caught him mid air, then proceeded to sled the rest of the way down the hill.

It was obvious the kid had no idea what happened. I plopped him back on the ground and he walked on. I heard him cry for his mommy a half a minute later though. Anyways, I felt pretty good about my decision, and continued on my sledding spree. Fun times. 🙂

And that’ the story. If you liked “Toboggan” than you’ll love my other winter themed comics like Winter Time and I Have A Stick.

Stick – LWS Comic #160

Hey LWS fans, I have a new comic for you called “Stick.”  Stacy walks home from work one winter afternoon. Suddenly a kid runs up from behind proclaiming he has a stick. The rest, is as they say, history.

This was a story that Stacy told me one day when she arrived home from work. I thought it was so charmingly funny that I had to do a LWS comic about it.  I hope you all find it just as charmingly humorous.

Next time you see a kid with a stick beating up trees, remember this comic strip. Haha. Well that’s it for this weeks comic. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Years. 2020 is coming up fast, get ready baby!

If you liked “stick” then you’ll love my other winter themed gags, like Winter Time and Arbor. Happy Holidays yall. 🙂

LIVING WITH STACY THE COMIC

Hello, and welcome to the official Living With Stacy website! You may be wondering what this Living With Stacy comic is all about. Well allow me to shed some light on the subject. Living with Stacy is a modern, slice of life, comedy comic about the everyday routines and struggles of a happy, young couple living with OCD. Join Ryan and Stacy (and their two cats) as they attempt to comfortably coexist, love each other and push through life in hilarious and relatable ways! To quote some random awesome guy on the internet, "LWS is cute, adorable and fun for everyone, even your cats!" Wow, thanks random awesome guy!

The creator of LWS wants to show you that having OCD, or a partner with OCD isn't the end of the world. While dating someone with obsessive compulsive disorder does provide some unique (and occasionally funny) challenges, it can also be normal, loving and warm, just like any other healthy relationship. :)
