The image has the words 'get your words out' in black and '2026' in orange next to the GYWO logo, a hand-drawn chameleon clutching a pencil, with a pen, notebook, and book piled beside him. The background displays faded text reading 'get your words out' in multiple colors.


Comments are disabled on this post so the mods can focus on getting 2026 materials prepared, which will likely answer many of your questions. If you have a burning question, start by checking out our website, or you can email gywomod at gmail.

hello friends n readers

ive been drawing a whole lot of nikitaks all month, busily. soon i will be finished with that. ren is doing good, snoring behind me. trying to come up with a good holiday card design right now as i write this.

went to our friends' house, leor & pilot, for friendsgiving. it was nice and the food was delicious. we watched the streamed/recorded national dogshow and i got to pet beanie the smallest tuxedo cat on the planet.

sometime next week my buddy rickfox is coming over for a pre-holiday hangout. ive got most of my shopping done cuz ive got uhh most of my money gone. still, november felt like getting a good jump on winter for me at least.

already looking far ahead to the new year. there's a spring that happens in that, or so ive been told. perhaps even followed by a summer and autumn.
