american treats weekend

Here’s something I drew (rather sloppily) last night for a meme by beatonna, on the topic of a conversation with your younger self. (Have a look at lots of them here!) She’s Canadian Kate Beaton, and she’s been doing some great comics lately based on historical figures.

On Saturday the 5th, I went to a barbecue with two other American Saras to celebrate the 4th of July. It seemed appropriate to do it a day late since we’re all kind of cheating on the whole Independence thing by sleeping with the redcoats. Here’s an amazing cake that Sara baked. She gave us some extra cake to take home and we only managed not to eat it on the train ride back and then it was gone.

(Sara’s Busted dysentery t-shirt refers to the old video game The Oregon Trail.) And here’s a photo of Ants on a Log, the peanut butter and the cream cheese versions.
