Quincy is definitely an exercise in body language. Which makes him even more fun to draw.

2020
Happy New Year, everyone! There isn’t a new comic today (unfortunately). But, with it being a brand new year and, heck, a brand new decade, I still wanted to pop in and post something. More specifically, what I want to try and make happen this year. So, here it is – Drew’s List o’ Goals for… Continue reading 2020
At the Gym: People Skills
Top notch people skills, right there. There is just something about the gym where I want to avoid all human contact whatsoever. I just want to get in, work out, and get out. Plain and simple. To me, a gym isn’t a place to socialize, I suppose. It’s a place where I need to go… Continue reading At the Gym: People Skills
We Interrupt This Storyline to Bring You Unicorns
So. Drew did a thing this weekend. A thing that involved unicorns, a foam pit, getting covered in color, and – perhaps the most unbelievable thing of all – actual physical activity. I took part in a 5k. More specifically, I took part in the Color Run at the National Harbor. And I had a… Continue reading We Interrupt This Storyline to Bring You Unicorns
Things I’ve Learned at the Gym: The PAIN
Wish I could say I was exaggerating. But no. Recently, I’ve had moments when, after coming back from the gym, I can barely lift my arms/move in general. Especially after I’ve had a workout with my trainer. Never really when I’ve gone there by myself, which either means that I’m not pushing myself hard enough… Continue reading Things I’ve Learned at the Gym: The PAIN
Things I’ve Learned at the Gym: The Kettlebell
Dear Kettlebell, Let’s just get this out of the way: I hate you. Why is it that in a gym full of large, intimidating machines that look like they could cause some serious damage to my person, that you, essentially a fancy metal ball with a handle on it, are the most awkward, rage inducing piece… Continue reading Things I’ve Learned at the Gym: The Kettlebell
Things I’ve Learned at the Gym: All the Feels
During the abnormally long process of me signing up for a gym membership, one of the things the manager mentioned to me was what working out can do for anxiety. And with anxiety basically being my default mode, I was more than interested. From what I gathered, exercise can alleviate this feeling and help you… Continue reading Things I’ve Learned at the Gym: All the Feels
Things I’ve Learned At the Gym: Hunger Pains
Every time I come home from the gym, I’ve always been super incredibly hungry. I don’t know why. My best guess is that I’m finally expending some calories, and my body’s like, “Wait, what’s happening? Where are they all going? We need more!” Of course, I can’t just gorge myself. That would pretty much negate… Continue reading Things I’ve Learned At the Gym: Hunger Pains
Things I’ve Learned at the Gym: Planks
Whoever developed planks as exercise was probably some sort of sadist, right? I don’t know why, but these are the hardest exercise I’ve had to do at the gym thus far. Maybe it’s the lack of upper body strength. Maybe it’s because I’m a big guy and trying to balance all of my weight on… Continue reading Things I’ve Learned at the Gym: Planks
Things I’ve Learned at the Gym: So Much Sweat
So, in the past month, I’ve gone to the gym a grand total of 3 times. Which may not seem like a whole lot, but considering the fact that this is the most that I’ve been to a gym compared to the last 3 years or so, it’s kind of a big deal for me. In… Continue reading Things I’ve Learned at the Gym: So Much Sweat
