• Another comic – from the comments: “It is a beautiful, ruthless, hopeful metaphor about keeping up the good fight, year after year, even when we are worn down, and how we can still face the new year with hope and light, no matter how painful the last one was, and how it is okay to rest if we can’t fight.“
• Dark academia with a secret library room!
• Nice MCM.
• Attractive MCM, although I hate the sunken tub, the suspended ceilings, and the craft room carpet.

• Unusual house.
• WTH.
