beautiful, they are, like jewels.

i know that you know that i know that muffins are, like, way behind cupcakes in… well, everything. for a start, there is no frosting. and most muffins i’ve had are bite after bite of dry, dense mastication. the little ones like rubbery pucks, the big ones like a workout for your jaw. so not fun.
but. yesterday, i found the best muffin in the world. sonoma make the best soy and linseed loaf in the world — with the whole soybeans? — whoulda thunk they would also sell the best muffin [note to self: double-check if they bake the muffins inhouse. edit 05/11: i have been informed, via the comments box for this post, that all pastries sold at sonoma, including the best muffin in the world, are made by zumbo. well!].
i only bought it because the kid wanted a snack as we passed by, and then sitting in the park across the road watching the monster raven skulk across the grass, i discovered the muffintop crunchy with sugar, and the moist, moist, crumbly inside with its generous — almost wanton, really — display of juicy berries.
“we’re sharing, right?” i asked the kid, but she was already off chasing the giant bird. tops.
“comic artist rehab is where four comic artists (who haven’t been as busy as they should) commit to drawing four panels every four days for four weeks.”
this month, i am one of those artists — and today is my first strip! come for a squiz if you’re interested or if you’d like to arrange for an intervention for someone you know.
my friend, amber, set this up, and clearly she is plenty busy as it is, because she is also the one responsible for the kids craft weekly website, and now book, which i spent a chunk of last month working on, and which is finally back from the printer, with its satiny smooth cover that i can’t stop stroking (and now i know how matt moran felt at that good food show demonstration). you know you want one!
