Accidentally Wearing Your Heart On Your Sleeve

Part 3 of a series of plushy heart comics :)

Connie on Ko-fi

[3-panel comic of a cartoon girl with a bun and a plushy red cartoon heart, tied to her arm by a string. Heading reads "Accidentally Wearing Your Heart On Your Sleeve." Panel 1 is a close-up of the girl, looking down at the string around her wrist. She says, "Oh no," with a concerned expression on her face. Panel 2 is a close-up of plushy heart, radiating unfettered joy. Panel 3 shows both in the same frame. The girl looks at the heart reproachfully and says, "Cut that out." Indifferently, the heart accuses her of being a "Killjoy." Original comic strip by Connie Sun, cartoonconnie, 2023.]

Year of the Rabbit 2023

For anyone who needs more calm and quiet this season, over excitement and ruckus. Lunar New Year well wishes.

[4-panel borderless comic titled "Trusting Your Heart." In panel 1, a close-up of a plushy red heart with a tooth, saying "Just trust me." In panel 2, the heart is perched on a bathroom sink, addressing a cartoon girl with a bun in front of a mirror: "Trust yourself! Trust your feelings!" Panel 3 is another close-up of the heart, as it asks, "What could go wrong?" In panel 4, the heart looks up at the girl, while the girl looks at her reflection in the mirror.  The reflection in the mirror responds independently: "Literally - so many things."

[2-panel comic titled "Following Your Heart." In panel 1, a cartoon girl with a bun, chasing after a plushy red cartoon heart. She yells, "Wait! I wanna talk to you!" as the heart runs blithely away from her. In panel 2, she has tackled the heart to the ground and gives it a stern look. "Please don't do anything weird," she demands, holding the heart in her hands, as it sticks out its tongue and responds with a "nyeh" sound. Comic strip by Connie Sun, cartoonconnie, 2023.] 

Makeup Monster

Some days, society is a sea monster ;)

Thanks for reading. Connie on Ko-fi

Caption reads, "Me, hoping to meet someone who likes me without makeup..." In panel 2, a reptilian, mad-eyed, sea monster suddenly reaches out from inside the bathroom mirror and grasps at the girl with taloned claws and hisses, "DON'T TAKE AWAY MY...MAKEUP!!!" She screams in terror. Comic titled "Makeup Monster," by Connie Sun, cartoonconnie, 2023.]
