It's the little things!
Tea might not be the best coping mechanism, but it sure does work!
Turns out I am actually allergic to the sun... I wish I was joking :'D
I had really really hoped that, come adulthood, picking up the phone would be easy. Why can such a small devices make me so nervous?!
This is now the 5th pair of jeans I have ripped through... If you have an embarrassing pant-rip story do comment it down below, it'll make me feel a bit better knowing I'm not the only one :'D
And a re-draw!! I still use scissors to cut pizza to this day, don't knock it till you try it!
The original 'Pizza Scissors' comic was made on 04/01/2019! Some of you have asked for a side by side of my old and new comic style so here it is!

I was being silly with my girlfriend, picked her up and was bending/crouching to set her down. Ripped my brand new shorts right in the crack

I still remember the day I was running a gas chromatograph and got exactly 1000000 area counts.

Your art's really improved in a year!
AmyRevives
Thank you!!

I ripped my pants in grade 5. I jumped onto the soccer net and fell off it hurting my tailbone. I think went about my day at school. I got
XeononSolomon
Home and took my pants off and noticed a pants had a massive rip down my entire ass
HalfMouse
A friend of mine ripped her pants right down the butt crack seam while we were doing field work in the middle of nowhere MT 5 miles from our
HalfMouse
tents. We were maybe 3 hrs into a 10 hr day so she just rolled with it and let it all hang out. Her hiking pace was much faster than my
HalfMouse
other partner and I so she was always in the lead. Only made sitting down hard cause you wanted that extra layer between the rough ground
ColdestOne
You should post more here because some of us hate instagram and don’t have accounts
AmyRevives
I'll try my best! Rest assured I post all my comics on Imgur eventually, it just takes a bit longer!
ColdestOne
Cool! I think they’re great btw!
SpotMeBro
I went to harbor freight to try to find a mask or face shield. Afterwards got into my car and heard an audible rip.
Textuality
I did that about six months ago at work. I bent down to pick something up, and heard "riipppp". Luckily I could just sit down all day. :)
SpotMeBro
For me it was 2 things: 1)Aw yeah those squats and deadlifts made that happen! and 2)DRIVE HOME FAST NEW PANTS NOW!
Nobanob
"Budding" I've adored your work for a while. Love the humor and art style so much.
AmyRevives
Thank you!!!
GarmBlack
These are super cute. Love the art style.
AmyRevives
Thank you!!
PrincessNausicaa
I ripped my trousers at work once. I now exclusively wear skirts.
AmyRevives
That's actually not a bad idea!
OnePostCloserToAHappierLIfe
Dear @OP, it takes 30 tries to make an interest, 60 to prove determination, and 90 to prove success. You are a comic artist, and a good one.
AmyRevives
Thank you!!!
curiouscorruption
Wow, I actually said "holy shit" out loud upon seeing the old vs. new art. I had forgotten what your old stuff looked like (1/2)
curiouscorruption
- it wasn't bad to start with, which is why I'm so impressed by all the improvement!
AmyRevives
Thank you!!!
retrohellix
I respectfully have to say

Too late, already fapped.
FormulaFuzzball
#5 back in senior year in high school I ripped the cargo shorts I was wearing during my last class of the day. I hard committed to that tear
FormulaFuzzball
And decided to rip it until it resembled a kilt (my shorts were plaid) and people just looked at me as I proudly strolled down to the buses!

Scissors as pizza cutters for life!! So efficient! ❤️ Also I had a bad trouser rip story. Fave pair of baggy combats, vaulted over fence 1/2

What's wrong with a regular knife and fork?
Alphuros
.. and hear an almighty rip, notice I have a tear going from just at bottom of butt down to nearly my knee along the back. Fun times for me!
wherethehorriblethingsare
Oh neat, actual OC by the creator of the OC. We've got a unicorn here, fellas.
d0o0o0d
Quick, let's scare them off! Can't have OC on imgur, it would dilute the steady flow of reposts!
wherethehorriblethingsare
That's why Sarah made Inboxes.
suomynonA
I thought the sole purpose of inboxes was for nudes.
rshini
that's how you scare them off.
Krampus95360
@AmyRevives Love your work! You should have a copy and paste description for the black hands since people keep asking(I love them, btw).1)
AmyRevives
Thank you!! I might just take you up on that advice for the best post!
Brando4027
Your work is really good. Hands down best on this site
Krampus95360
Those asking about the hands: coloring them black made them easier the draw when she first started, and they've become part of her style.

Upvoted because of the tea. Tea is great. Tea contains fluoride. Tea is good for your teeth.
AmyRevives
Tea is the solution to all your problems

I crouched to pick a printer up, split my trousers, and inadvertently teabagged the carpet. At work. In front of a room full of people.
nch77
I gave you your 69th upvote, I feel empowered.
potatorat45
New jeans, long-stepped down into a telcom vault and popped the crotch seam from fly to belt loop, the long way round. Worked 32hrs after.
Pr0Pain
I did this minutes before i had to do a presentation in front of alot of new hires at work. Couldnt change, just had to keep my legs closed.
EyeSpyABreathtakingPerson
Hahahaha. That's difficult to top. Dominance established.
theshinobi23
Mine split while climbing a ladder at work, which I had to climb several more times. End of the day, it was split halfway down the inseam.
forgetthisnoise
Oh God i would feel so bad for you but I'd also laugh so hard I'd fall in love
xj4low
I was at a car show years ago and my pants ripped from center across bottom of pocket from getting in and out of cars. Lots of people there.
sykoticflaw
That's rough, buddy
Redandpurpleunicorns
I split my leather trousers bowling and had to wear my leather trenchcoat the whole time we were there. It out me off wearing leather.
JKJeepHawk
I feel like you're not trying hard enough? ....not leathering hard enough....?

I bet people still talk about that to this day. The legend of the teabagger

I ripped my pants at my wedding. No one else noticed until the groomsmen dirty-danced me over their heads.
parttimeadult
My grandfather and my uncle both ripped thier pants at my parents wedding
DmNerd
That's how you know folks are having a good time.
Serkus
You're ripping through jeans... from the back? That's an iron ass.
AmyRevives
It's happed on several occasions! The butt pocket seams are weaker than you would think :'D
Serkus
Time for gardening cargo pants. They don't look bad on the butt, and... you can put things in the pockets.
Baccano2015
Your art style has come a hell of a long way! That's awesome! Also ripped pants makes me think of that one spongebob episode
AmyRevives
Thank you!!
jqubed
I was at a funeral one time, bent over to help put something away afterwards and ripped my suit pants.
AmyRevives
Oh dear that truly is embarrassing, my condolences!
adrianontherocks
@op I ripped the butt of my khakis at work with bright blue polka dot underpants and was apparently walking around like that for hours >
adrianontherocks
Before anyone bothered to tell me. What lovely coworkers.
AmyRevives
Only when you rip your pants do you know who your real friends are!!
adrianontherocks
Haha yep! And it was the INTERN who told me!!!
aMiu
Why are the fingers black?
Silversammy

TurkTurkelton
omg gretchen you can't just ask people why their hands are black.
Silversammy
I'm sure there's a comic strip explaining she's half raccoon.
LaronX
Red pandap
Gonnaderpya
Used to not be great at hands but got better and keeps em as a joke. They used to be super dark
joshcrimson
She’s a pyromancer.
Potatoesman
Best fucking answer.
drewcrosby
Hot.
LaronX
Part red panda
ThePoopDoctor
If I remember correctly it's because she had trouble drawing hands so she just made them black
lauraInternetJunkie
Yeah you can actually see the improvement in the pizza cutting one
CycloneSP
yeah, but something about her new style just doesn't sit right with me. I think it has something to do with the lack of sharp edges
calisaya
Dear Strongbad, how do you type with boxing gloves on?
retrohellix
Why aren't yours?
ConEle
I honestly love seeing these comics. Always upvote them if I see them. Honestly I think the hands are kinda awesome. Like badass gloves.
AmyRevives
Thank you!!?
Hanska01
Dude, why is it that 90% of our generation has phone call anxiety? We hate making calls, yet we’ll send 1000 txts no problem.
CactusCreep
I like text/email because it doesn't require immediate attention and we can identify ourselves and what we want before we even talk.
Arcian
A phone call is a process that requires sustained attention, whereas texts are fire & forget.
Hanska01
Hmm. I don’t think it’s an attention thing. I can focus on petting my dog for hours, but picking up a call from unknown # for1 Sec? Nope.
Roachester
With texting, there's not much pressure to come up with a response to what's being said to you right away.
RosieGarden
I feel like a weirdo in that I like phone calls.
p3culiar15
Hey I am not the only one who like phone call. I rather call or talk in-person over email when discussing about project. Much easier.
AmyRevives
I ask myself the same question! Why are phone calls so anxiety inducing yet a text is all fine!? Make it make sense!!
TobiOfTheAkatsuki
You're verbally communicating with someone, but you can't see them. Our brains hate that, it's why lots of people pace during phone calls.
Metatality
Phone calls are real time, Texts are turn based combat so you get time to think and space things out.
sykoticflaw
The comics are great, but can I ask why her hands are shaded black? Is she a closet necromancer?
Wapusk
Isn't she also a med student? Until today, with the shading, I always assumed she was wearing exam gloves.
Xynatox
I can't believe I missed that...
Ragingcashew2
She's from Holland. All the Hollandaise have hands (and feet) like that. Its from handling all those poached eggs.
mratio
Hollandaise... I’m no longer going to refer to the Dutch.
DooksandPooks
Asking the real questions!!!
manofthewest1993
The valar are to her, lady yavanna will send her Harold
FutureHylian
Canonically its because she's a RedPanda, Fruitfly, Human hybrid. Actual reason is likely cause its quirky and grabs your attention
BiggestAndReddest
Actual reason is she couldn’t draw hands, said it in an early one. She kept it afterwards though as it was part of the style
DarianStephens
I genuinely didn't notice it on any panel besides the sunburn one, and then thought it was part of the joke. Am I just imperceptive?
AxellTheDragon
I like to believe it extended from the graphite from the paper getting smudged on her hand while drawing.
rshini
Especially if you're lefthanded, so much. smudging.
retroman688
Now to ride, shiny and chrome....
ambeeee
In digital?
creamyonions
Because art is only ever created digitally?
itiswhatitis365
Lol
HelloToe
A lot of artists start by sketching on paper and then scanning it into Photoshop or the like.
NespreSilver
dreadpiratekhan
That is really impressive! And time-consuming. And... how do you do the other hand...?!
DeepBlueNothing
I believe it's because she's part red panda.
AmyRevives
Yup!!
SlightlyRelatedToThePost
And here I just thought it was because you never washed your hands.
sykoticflaw
Threatonis
of fucking course she is... fucking furries

iputmymouthonit
I happen to like the darkened extremities. I just don't know why I like them lol
phobos535
She got killed by a White Walker
VitaminJay
Settle down, Coldhands (and other great characters we'll never see on the tv series...)
Waytigo
Think she coloured them once and she liked how they looked and it stayed. Kinda like inyourfacecake with her paper boat in the hair.
Waytigo
It’s a cute signature and give the comic a originality
LuckyCoyote
Maybe plague?
Arcian
She's awfully spry for a plague victim, if that's the case.
LuckyCoyote
So are people with corona-19.
MstrES
Once you go black, you never go back
neogeo0823
NGL, I went right from the tea one to that, so i assumed her hands were tea stained.
Sphinct182
Every. Damned. Time.
arhalts
I uad always asumed charcoal/ink/pencil lead but it seems like that is not the case. Just thought I would share all the same
JoJotarot
Made them easier to draw when she started. Look at the hands in the old pizza comic. They're basically blobs.
TorvicIsSanta
Similar reason as to why tomatoanus is named tomatoanus
Arcian
I feel sorry for anyone who feels the need to play Fallout 4 more than once without mods. It's barely worth playing WITH mods.
TorvicIsSanta
I feel sorry for people that judge others for liking harmless stuff
specicom
But tomatoanus is named tomatoangus now.
TorvicIsSanta
No he's not, they use that for GDQ so that it's family friendly
Gardosurro
She has severe necrosis in her hands, she was attacked by 20 brown recluses. Truly a tragedy ;_;7
Cranbananarama
Don't worry, it looks like she's phasing that out over time.
wheresmybanana
She has mentioned in the past that it’s a stylistic choice:) I’m not convinced, though..
ScarecrowSticks
She also mentioned it's due to charcoal drawing
Arcian
Closet coal miner, actually.
ThoseWeidmanns
She mentioned sun allergy, might be raynauds syndrome
markiel
raynauds has nothing to do with sun allergies.....
ThoseWeidmanns
I know, but I was implying sensitivity to environmental conditions. I realize it’s cardiovascular (one of my kids has it)
markiel
I must have misunderstood then, my sister and i both have it so i was confused when you equated it to sun allergies
ThoseWeidmanns
Eh I wasn’t that clear, no problem! :-)
Copperbrat
SmokyDoggg
Omg @sykoticflaw you can't just ask people why their hands are black!
uppishduck
Omg Dumbledore you cant just ask people why they don’t have a nose
sykoticflaw
Jarmander15
If I remember right she actually has prosthetic hands so she draws them black
itiswhatitis365
Her hands are darker because she's a hard working human
Excalibuttster
that was an april fools day joke
FunkyGrandma
was it? I thought that was the real reason! not cool, AmyRevives
bilborrax
poop
HaceVector
The only answer that matters.
DukeofKMS
Idk, but there is a condition, that makes your hands turn blue as soon as they get a lil cold. Smth to do with the blood vessels closing.
itiswhatitis365
She was chopping beetroot
DocHarriers
Reynaud's Disease.
markiel
mine doesn't turn my extremities blue, it restricts bloodflow. A few fingers actually get ridiculously pale white, pallid even.
purgethefilthyheretics
Jesus Christ man you can’t just ask people why their hands are black
uppishduck
Omg Dumbledore you cant just ask people why they don’t have a nose

Clarkimus360
Why? Is it the necromancy?
Nobanob
Technically it's from digging up the bodies...for the necromancy
PotatOSTheCreator
That's where you're doing it wrong! Necromancer beings can dig their way up themselves if you can cast thru the dirt
Nobanob
*hastily scribbles notes*
ThePoopDoctor
If I remember correctly it's because she had trouble drawing hands so she just made them black
LilandraNeramani
Judging by the original comic version you can see they are also different. Now when i see a comic i check the hands. It's like a trademark
washi
Nope. People assumed that but I remember her making a post saying that's not why. It's a stylistic choice to make her comic more unique.
xVVitch
She said it herself a LONG time ago. I'd track down the comment but I'd rather not. She got tired of explaining so she made the story up.
Rikther
absoluttalent
And yet gloves were no problem ?
PotatOSLament
It’s why Mickey Mouse has gloves. Soooo.... yea?
ScarecrowSticks
Gloves aren't hands, big difference in the drawing and sketching side of art
NariEllie
Check her old art. She probably can draw hands much better now, but chooses to keep the quark that separates her from other comics.
UWAGAGABLAGABLAGABA
Ah yes, the other realm of particle physics. Hand drawing.
hyperfell
I remember reading a long time ago it was because she is part bionic. That could be wrong though... maybe
ColonelCasual
I believe that was posted on April fools day.
LordofSandvich
Definitely an up quark
NariEllie
Lol spelling is hard
