To, Too, Two

I almost missed it, but this month marks the second anniversary of Homophones, Weakly! To celebrate, I figured I should finally get around too To, Too, and Two. With special thanks two everybody who has suggested it over the years. Sorry it took me so long.












Hmm, maybe this one is clearer? Now I'm just second-guessing myself. (eh? eh? second guessing?) :)

    Happy Blog-iversary! Two be honest, I'm amazed you waited so long two use it--I would have probably used it right off the bat and that would have been far two soon. :)

    Well, certainly I hope I make these pics look easy, but the truth is I struggled a long time trying to figure out how best to draw this one. It's the homophone everyone thinks of first. It (along with its/it's) is like the biggest pet peeve people have homophone-wise. It was on my radar right from the start, and I got a million suggestions for it too. The longer I waited, the more I heard about it... But it really wasn't until recently that I felt like I had a concise idea for the images. And at this point it coincided with year #2, so it seemed appropriate, to boot. Win-win.
    These contraction homophones – its/it's, whose/who's, your/you're – I really need to tackle next, for the same reason. But they're/their/there even harder.

    Plain & plane. Plane is also a homonym: a flat surface and an airplane.

    Do you usually upload these on Sundae mourning?

    It's on the list. Thanks for the suggestion, you shadowy entity, you.

    I usually wait until my mourning is over before I post. It's too hard to see through the tears, otherwise.

    Hi Bruce, love your work. Can you please explain your visual for two? If I were using this to help teach children this homophone I would explain each image. Eg.to-the man is going to x, too-his friends are going to x too, the man is going to two x's (places). At least I assume that is what you intended.
