In my programming classes, I take notes in my sketchbook. This means I have a lot of software concepts I have learned through making silly cartoons. I haven’t found a place to share them yet, so here (while poking WP) is as good as anywhere.

In a lab introducing fetch and API calls, I drew this creature.
