My little table at TCAF (Basketball Court 073B) today! It'll be a little different tomorrow - a few things sold out (!!) How fun and special to get to do an event like this again! So many great conversations, saw old friends, met lovely new people, chats with some amazing folks who've been following my work 😭 I am so tired but I FEEL SO ALIVE :blobcat_on_fire_peacefully: Will (try) go to bed early for Day 2 energy!! #TCAF #TorontoComicArtsFestival #comics #webcomics #Toronto

In my personal case, it seems to feel more comfortable/at ease to hold it on my left side. I always thought it was because I'm now right-handed and this would free up my dominant hand for more complex things. Clearly, it's not universal. It's neat to see the mix - and that at the same time it's also not guaranteed people will bias their "dominant side" by default when holding open umbrellas. :blobcat_magnifying_glass: Thank you for joining me on this tiny nerdy investigation for baby science!

Based on the results: it's likely more common to encounter an open umbrella being held on the right! ☂️ What caused this: I was ambidextrous as a kid, and now right-handed (likely due to right-hand bias in our environments/tools). I still do some things with my left hand, like brushing teeth/hair. I was on a rainy walk with an umbrella in my left hand and passed another person with an umbrella. Several min later I thought, "Which hand were they using?" But then I didn't see any more umbrellas!

The umbrella-handedness poll has ended with 47 respondents! Thank you all for indulging my random interest! A few things I learned:

  • Only 4 options in a Mastodon poll
  • You can only vote if you have a Mastodon account
  • Poll creator also can't see who voted (nice to confirm firsthand)
  • People are really interested in odd little questions and happy to help boost
  • People can interpret things in a way you didn't expect, or share an experience that you didn't think of - it's super interesting

@viscountexx@goblin.technology Ohh! Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm sorry the original survey options did not encompass it 🙏 If I may ask (please don't feel obligated to answer!): Would you consider yourself left or right- handed, or ambidextrous in general situations, e.g., in terms of whether you tend to favour a particular hand when handling things like umbrellas/positioning them before use?

Wish I could've specified left-handed in left hand, left-handed in right hand, right-handed in left hand, right-handed in right hand... but it is what it is at this time. Thank you for your participation in developing our understanding of umbrella-handedness lol

A random question that crossed my mind the other day while walking in the rain (and excuse to play with the poll feature):

☂️ Which hand do you hold an open umbrella in?

(If you, like my parents, start your answer with "🧐 It depends on [insert a ton of variables]", please choose what you would consider your most common/default approach.)

...also I just realized that I seem to only have 4 options. Well, now I know.

I did manage to convert my what-is-going-on thumbnails into still-very-rough-but-at-least-I-can-tell-what's-going-on full page pencil sketches... I'll come back and refine them a bit more later. 4 more pages left to go after this, haha. But the (self-imposed) homework is done for today! On to lunch and making lemony roasted potatoes~!

When you come back to comics work after weeks of leaving them on the back burner, and you're all pumped and ready to pick up the pace again!!! and you look at your thumbnails and go, "well I have no idea what these were supposed to be anymore."

For Canadians: The People’s Consultation on AI aims to "advance AI law, policy, and regulation centred around human rights and the public interest", and was created to "protest and reject the deeply misguided and wrongheaded approach to public consultation demonstrated by the government’s thirty-day “national sprint” on Canada’s artificial intelligence (“AI”) strategy."

Submissions accepted until March 15! https://www.peoplesaiconsultation.ca/
