Every comic, newest first. Page 1 of 1.

Three panels of a webcomic, each labeled "● Rec" in the top
left corner, framed by camera viewfinder corner brackets —
suggesting the rock is being recorded as a vlog.

Panel 1: Quartz, a smooth oval pebble with a diagonal vein
marking, sits on a grassy patch beside a large blade of grass.
Speech bubble: "OK, my morning routine, as you all requested..."

Panel 2: The same scene. A single drop of dew hangs from the
tip of the grass blade, above Quartz. Speech bubble: "First,
I clean myself in morning dew. It helps smooth the surface."

Panel 3: The same scene, dew drop gone. Speech bubble:
"That's it."

Morning routine

Two panels set in a desert under a blazing sun, with a
mesa silhouette on the horizon.

Panel 1: A cactus stands on the left. Quartz — a smooth
oval rock with a diagonal vein marking — sits in the sand,
saying "So, umm… how was your day?"

Panel 2: The same desert scene. Quartz now sits beside a
fish skeleton lying on the ground, saying "I guess I have
to work on my people skills."

Sharing lifestyle

Three panels, each labeled with a hobby name at the top.

Panel 1 "Skydiving": A rock with a parachute falls through
the sky among clouds. Speech bubble: "Weeee"

Panel 2 "Scubadiving": A rock sits at the bottom of a body
of water with a snorkel tube extending up to the surface;
fish and bubbles surround it. Speech bubble: "Wooow"

Panel 3 "Climbing": A small rock sits at the base of a tall
cliff. Speech bubble: "Eh, nope"

Rock hobbies

Six panels.

Panel 1: A rock sits alone in a grassy patch.

Panel 2: The same rock with a fly buzzing above it, leaving
a dotted "Bzzz" trail in the air.

Panel 3: A close-up of the rock's surface; the fly approaches.

Panel 4: Extreme close-up of the rock's textured surface. The
fly is stuck in something. Sound effect: "*Muck*"

Panel 5: Pulled back to the full rock; the fly flies away,
leaving a dotted trail behind it.

Panel 6: The rock, alone again. Speech bubble: "Nooo…
Come back ♥ I love you too ♥"

Love at first muck

Three panels.

Panel 1: A volcano erupts with a tall plume of smoke and ash;
a small rock is ejected into the sky. Caption: "Since the very
moment that I was born…"

Panel 2: Two pale rocks meet mid-air against a blue sky. One
says "Oh, hey baby, I don't think we've met." The other replies
"Hi, handsome." Caption: "I knew, we had something special…"

Panel 3: A parent rock sits with two smaller rocks in a grassy
field. Caption: "And that, my kids, is how I met your mother."
