A severe and unforeseen paper shortage in Cincinnati has forced me create today’s comic using finger puppets!
If you’re wondering how much trouble a kid gets in for a prank like that, the answer is A LOT.
By the way, I’m moving from Ohio to Florida to be closer to my family, so I’m afraid the paper is getting packed up for a few weeks. The girls will be back (and in paper) in May! :)
The Middlest Sister 
Good lord, it’s like when they changed animation in The Simpsons.
Good to see you’ve kept the quality up though.
Ha! It’ll return to normal… just a silly April Fools Day thing.
I love your blog, the sense of humour, the style, the pictures, everything. haha. You made my dat.
Thanks :) That’s so sweet!
I don’t know. I liked it the other way, but this is cool too. One question: How are you going to get them to sit down?
It’s just for April Fools Day :P
April Fools! haha. It’s still cute. Have a safe move (I’m moving too! Just in the same city though) Hope everything goes smooth for you!
:D Thanks Jackie! I hope your move goes smoothly, too! It doesn’t seem to matter if you’re moving across the country or across the street– a move is always hectic!
Loving the new look! I love experimenting with style, this is really cool to see!
Hope the move goes well! :)
Haha! It was fun, but I’d miss the paper too much to keep it up!
Yeah, I know what you mean! :)
Have a great move!
Thanks, Heather! So far, so good…
LOVED the finger puppet medium. Good luck with the move!
I love their hair! She got her good, didn’t she? She showed her the proper way to do April Fool’s.
I pity the fool! nice change up in style. very apt
This was so cute, Best of luck on the move to sunny Florida!
Haha! Love the finger puppets too. Hope your move to Florida is safe and uneventful (even if it does make good blog material)!
Love the finger puppets!
Good luck with the move. Don’t lose the paper.
love it! happy moving!
Great April Fools’. And good luck with the move. So glad to hear there’s not a real paper shortage. Whew! What would we do without you? ;)
Good luck with the move! So happy to hear you’ll be closer to family. The family that lays down harsh punishment for a little good ol’ fashioned fun with salamanders.
Love your posts! The finger puppets are a funny idea and wonderful made! ‘Happy move’ to you!
THAT’S NOT HOW YOU APRIL FOOL!
This is the only April Fool’s Day prank I haven’t wanted to stab with a sharpened spoon. <3
Hope your move goes well. I know how hard it is with little ones.
hope you find time to create once you’re unpacked
Good luck with your move. Umm, were the salamanders alive or dead? Or barely alive? This will weigh heavily on my final judgement of the quality of the joke. ;)
Totally alive! The bedsheets were made damp before bringing in all the salamanders. Oh, so, so, so, SO MUCH trouble.
Very clever, though!
This reminds me so much of today (see my blog to find out how.)
I’ve always liked your blog because it reminds me of my own family. Interesting change with the illustrations, though like the old ones better.
Loved the finger puppets for April Fool’s Day! Good luck with your move!
Hahaha! poor Chrissy! Congratulations on your move, I hope that you have a safe one!
That was funny. Good luck with your move.
Never have I derived so much joy from mere fingers. Thank you for teaching me that fingers can be funny. :)
you are awesome! Travel safe
I’m going to miss seeing your posts. May can not come quick enough now!
More soon! Love this!
I hope we get occasional finger puppet strips in the future, I loved this haha! Good luck with the move! I shall be patiently awaiting your return!
Howdy stranger! You’re just as talented with fingers as with paper. What’s next – lunch-meat vignettes?
Best of luck with your move (although most people head north in the winter, not when the blazing summer is approaching.)
Ha! I did briefly consider fruit-sisters… Thanks for the well-wishes! I am a little afraid of moving down in the blazing heat with a projected large population of giant mosquitoes. And the wild pigs frighten me a little, too. I’m hoping my parents’ pool, free babysitting and hanging out with my sisters is enough to cancel out the bad!
Did your parents put in the pool when you and your sisters were still growing up, or after that?
Wild pigs, mosquitoes and heat…oh my! (hoping you can mentally hear Dorothy intoning this)
Reblogged this on JoanieP The Mad Hatters' Corner.
Was the girl in the navy blue outfit supposed to be you, or Charlotte?
Hope the move goes smoothly Middlest! April Fools is my favorite day; thanks for brightening it even more. ;-)
I’ve nominated you for the very inspiring blogger award. I really like your blog. I’ve been following for like a year. http://wearyourvitamins.com/2013/04/10/very-inspiring-blogger-award/
Safe Travels.
Bwa ha ha ha! Oh my, that’s great! I like the finger puppets almost as much as the paper comics you make. I look forward to more of either, really, I just hope you can find the time with your move!
Wow! Haha! Very nice! Brightened my day up! Caryy on with the good work! <3
