To Genie
To my fellow Squirrel friends
but mostly to my best friend Genie:
Happy birthday to the inspirational author with her mind full of ideas and characters and stories galore.
I created this for you, full of the characters you created and gave life to. I know your characters stories are something I am looking forward to one day reading and owning and sticking on one my favorite book bookshelves. So happy birthday to you, and to the creative spirit that are your butterfly wings. May they take you to new and emotional heights. To the novels that I can't wait to read.

JGT turns......
Hello my fellow squirrel friends!
Did you know that JGT turned 10! Seriously! It's been 10 years since the Genie created Jocey squirrel and then turned her two best friends, Genie and Taylor into squirrels who got themselves into all kinds of shenanigans. Fast forward and suddenly we are a webcomic full of complex forest friends (and foes) with arcs and seasons!
We transitioned from a single doodle to story panels to a full fledged comic, in the span of 10 years! And what a ride it has been.
I'm so proud of us, of our little gang and of the friends we haven't met yet. From switching stones to dreams to stories and to little side stories that contain our heart and souls.
We grew up here, in this little comic that we shared with the world.
10 years!
I'm a little out of practice, but this is for my best friend Genie, she created a little something that touched my heart and continues to grow with me to this day. I have pages full of doodles of JGT and lore and dreams. I hope to continue to see this comic grow and grow. Make it past 20 years. See the Season that Genie hints at me about (I refuse to be told, I wanna be like the readers, surprised).
So thank you Genie. I hope you like this little doodle.
And thank you readers, the website may have only been up for less than 10 years, but this story, it has lived and thrived for 10 years. 10 precious years of growing up and coming of age.
- Jocey
P.S. there is one more thing coming, its for a belated birthday of the One and Only Genie

So Many Things, Guys...but It's Going to be Okay!
Ello, everyone! Genie here with some updates! (I'll save the happy stuff for last)
SO. Long time no see, eh? There's a bit of a story behind that. There are two reasons why I haven't been that active on this site in the past few months. The less serious reason is that I got a new computer! Huzzah! The only bad thing is that I have to get a new art program and tablet so that I can digital art again.
The more serious reason is that in late April, I was involved in a freak accident that left me with a broken arm. Underground train station. Skyline window pane. Collapsed. Not fun.
I am very glad that it was my arm and not my head (if it was my head, I honestly don't think I'd be here right now). Regardless, the event was traumatic, but I've been healing with time and with love and support from my family and friends ^_^
My arm is not fully recovered just yet, but I can still write and create art, and that makes me so happy. Once I have the materials I need, I will celebrate and publish new art on this site soon!
NOW FOR HAPPIER THINGS!
IT'S JULY 31st!!! JOCEY! IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!
Happy, happy birthday, Jocey. Again, I'm sorry I can't work on our Prophecy Birthday posts just yet, but I do have some ideas in the meantime, and I hope you'll like them once I create them. For now, I wish you an awesomely wonderful day. I miss you terribly but I am so, so, SO proud of you and overjoyed to see your happiness :)
Art of all sorts to come! And surprises, too ;)
Until then,
Genie

Woah...
A page? What?
Ello, everyone! Genie here with a long overdue page. A lot of (awesome) things have been happening over here in grad school, so I've been away from comic-making for a little bit. I hope to get more pages and posts done as the semester wraps up next month...because I really miss drawing this comic.
I hope you all are doing well! And again, thank you thank you for being so patient! I hope you enjoy this new page and the upcoming scene, which I've been excited about for years!!
Until then,
Genie

JGT Christmas Carol: Come, Walk With Me...
Ello, everyone! Genie here to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Here is a small take on what I think JGT's adaptation of A Christmas Carol would be...with Ace, of course, as Scrooge, and the main trio as the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet To Come.
Thank you guys so much for all you are and all you do. I hope you have a humbug-free holiday season, and I can't wait to share more JGT with you all!
Best wishes,
Genie

Page 47 is Here!
Ello, everyone! Genie here with Page 47 of JGT in OZ! Gee, I wonder what (or who) they're going to find in that creepy old building? Hmm...
Speaking of creepy, Happy Belated Halloween! Thanks so much, Jocey, for drawing the Halloween pic this year. It turned out so amazing, and I feel so honored to stare into people's souls. Seriously, you made JGT look so epic as Lock, Shock, and Barrel. Huzzahs all around for you!
Page 48 will, sadly, be a little slow as well. I love grad school, but it does take a lot of my time, as it should. The story isn't over yet, though! I'm excited to continue it, even if the pace may stagger.
Until then,
