For Valentine’s Day 2023, I decided to depict my favorite love story that I follow on a daily basis: my boyfriend and my cat. Check out the comic that came of it.

To be clear, Peterson adores Mango, and Mango tolerates him. Granted, Mango tolerates everyone, and I am simply momma.
Additionally, I drew this comic during the 57th Superbowl 2023, so it’s bittersweet that it happens to have Pete’s Eagles shirt all over it.
Finally, this comic is the first of the Humanity Inc. series, which is a meta take on my life as if I were a Sim living within a simulation managed by deities/spiritual guides who exist in a plane of existence beyond or above ours, in turn implying that the realms we create in books and film are in themselves existing in a plane of existence within ours, such as the comic.
I know that’s a lot to process. But keep up ’cause we’re not done yet.
The deities/spiritual guides are referred to as “the Organizers,” because that is their employment title at the company for which they work, Humanity Inc. The company functions as a stock investment provider in which the Organizers are hired to manage individual sims, each of which (whom?) generate value based on types of successes (financial, spiritual, artistic, athletic, etc.) Each sim is selected to be invested in by “the Investors” who intend to make a profit out of their human-stock-sim, “the Products.”
This means that each character in the comic series make decisions influenced by their respective Organizers. How, then, do I select the personalities of each Organizer for each “Product”/person/sim/character? Astrology, of course! Each house is personified by their own “Organizer” character. For example, my Organizers are a Capricorn Rising, Pisces Sun, Sagittarius Moon. Easy enough, right?
Wrong, we’re not finished. Because these entities exist in a plane beyond ours, and yet because I am drawing the series and therefore creating an “Andrea” existing in a plane of existence (the comic) within ours, then the Organizers are represented by the comic-version-Andrea’s perception of them. And in order to fathom the Organizers in a way that is comprehensive, rather than the ever-morphing, alien, biblically-correct-angel type creatures that I genuinely imagine these entities would appear as, comic-version-Andrea draws them as animals.
So, my Cap rising is a skunk, my Pisces sun is a whale, and my Sag moon is a snake. I’m still deciding what my Aquarius mercury is (leaning towards an owl?), but I am sure that my investor is a goat – perhaps based on my nodes of the moon, or other spiritual deity figures altogether like Willendorf or the obvious, Baphomet. More details on why for each of these in another post.
If you read through all this and came out with a smoother brain, you’re welcome. Polish it off and move on.
If you read it and your brain is tingling with stimulation, stay tuned for more. And if you’re a prominent person in my life, you’re gonna end up in my “Humanity Inc.” category of this site with your own individual profile and each of your guides.
