@ripleylacross.bsky.social makes a SPLASH in this hot story about a water gun fight gone wrong. WATER you waiting for? This comic is squirt-ified to get you wet!

Full transcript at: https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/splash-damage-ripley-lacross

Splash Damage by Ripley LaCross, made for ohjoysextoy.com
Ripley LaCross draws in a cartoony style using a color palette of dusty yellow, orange, brown, and purple.

PAGE 1
In a backyard garden, we see a woman knelt by one of many grow boxes. Aimee is slim, wearing a kerchief over her short, black hair, leaving her bangs exposed. She wears an orange and brown plaid working shirt tied up into a crop top, leaving her midriff exposed above her purple apron that splits apart in the back to reveal her bare bottom. She wears gardening gloves on her hands and crocks on her feet. A purple hose with a spray nozzle snakes across the garden and rests, inactive, in the grow box next to Aimee's hands as they dig.

"Phew!" she exclaims, wiping sweat from their brow, completely unsuspecting of Carrie who hides behind a leafy trellis with a tricked-out super soaker water gun. Carrie is slightly curvier than Aimee, though

@ripleylacross.bsky.social is nonbinary and loved to wear skirts and dresses because they didn't see them as gendered- but society sure does. To cut back on misgendering, they stopped wearing them... but at what cost?
www.ohjoysextoy.com/weathering-t...

Weathering the Storm by Ripley LaCross, January 21, 2025, for ohjoysextoy.com

Ripley LaCross draws in a simplified-realistic cartoon-ish style, using a color palette of white, gray, black, and blue. The present-day scenes look digitally drawn, with crisp, smooth lines. The philosophical scenes have a much more watercolored look to them with softer, pencil-y lines.

Page 1
From an overhead point of view, we see an office party taking place in a warehouse-turned-office building. Rain pelts down against the enormous windows that stretch up to the ceiling. Guests mill around tables of potluck food. It's an all-ages gathering, so parents try to talk with the other adults while simultaneously keeping track of their small children who are making friends with the office dogs. In the center of the hubbub stands Ripley who is talking with another person. Ripley's hair is bushy with the sides shaved down to stubble, making a relaxed mohawk or dapper mullet. They wear a black blazer over their collared blue shirt, with black pants and boots, with skinny glasses topping them off. They sport various facial and ear piercings along with a hint of mustache and beard against their white skin tone. Their conversation partner is shorter and plumper in a cute black mini cardigan over their blue patterned boxy dress that comes down to their knees. Underneath they sport black tights with their two-toned retro shoes. They wear slim glasses and theirs ears are full of many piercings that pop against their gray skin tone. They short black hair shares a cluster of big curls in front and then quickly fades into a buzz.

"Some shingdig, eh?" Ripley asks their friend. "I'm loving your outfit, by the way."
