It’s vacation time again here at Optipess Studios! I’ll be mostly “off the grid”, as they say, for the next couple weeks – but! – I still plan to post some new (or “new”) comics regardless in this period. However, the posting schedule will probably be rather random, so your best bet is to subscribe to the RSS feed, follow me on Twitter or join up as a Facebook fan to get the goods as soon as they’re online. So until next time (whenever that will be), take care!

It’s obscure reference time! Or maybe the entire internet is read up on their H.P. Lovecraft by now.

Apparently the real “Take your Daughter to Work” Day is in April, so I’m 3 months late with this strip. Oh well!

Here’s a new comic, just for you! Oh, and I kind of forgot to mention that it was my birthday the other day (on the 7th), so yay for me managing to stay alive for yet another year. Now, you don’t have to run out to buy gifts (please don’t, I can’t fit them all in my apartment), but if you’re in a generous mood an awesome gift would be to tweet, stumble or Facebook share your favorite Optipess comic. (Then tell your friends to do the same!)

Aw, I think that has to be my favorite tag combination.

I guess this one could’ve been an editorial cartoon from a 1912 newspaper.

I’m dogsitting this week, but the chances of getting in the above situation are slim. Mostly because I’m a terrible knitter.

It’s 2am here and I’m not entirely sure this one makes sense anymore. At the very least it requires some prerequisite knowledge of Italian cooking tips.
