Mimi & Odd Doodle Dump (Patreon)

It’s a massive motherload of Mimi! (And also Odd). Mimi got pregnant in her last year of undergrad through a rather mean-spirited dare (hook up with the weird girl at the party by feigning genuine romantic interest, haha). You can see a hint of Odd’s college-aged father in the first sketch, on the left. The entire experience was pretty devastating for poor Mimi, but she ends up choosing to keep the accidental pregnancy out of an almost desperate sense of loneliness-er, pure scientific fascination. Oddball is her one and only spawn, the fuzzy apple of her eye, and the subject of more than a few dozen research papers on cross-species child developmental psychology.

While she and Odd don’t have the typical lovey-dovey mother-son dynamic, their relationship is one of great comfort and mutual respect. Mimi is a respected neurogeneticist and research professor at Critter City Zooniversity, Odd is following in her footsteps as a transdisciplinary neurogenetics/neurosociology student. Although Odd is an adult now, he and Mimi still bond over lunches of toasted wood grubs and an inexplicable shared love of belly dancing.
