As of August 11, 2012 I will have completed 5 years of Littlest Elle comics. I think my mind just exploded a little bit trying to take that in.
I went to San Diego Comic Con in 2007 and I got really, really inspired. I had dabbled in super short form comics (both of which were in anthologies debuting at that con, actually) and I decided that maybe the next step would be to play around with a webcomic. I wasn’t sure if I could hack it or not with an update schedule, so I decided I’d keep it really simple and model a series around some short gag comics I had done in the past.
It’s been an interesting ride for me. The reasons I do the comic have changed, as have the types of stories I want to tell, but I still enjoy doing it and as long as that’s the case I plan to keep on making more. Thanks to everyone who’s been reading along with me over the past few years. I hope you chose to stick around in the years to come :)
Congratulations! (: I’ve been reading Littlest Elle since 2008 (holy cow) and I’ve continuously found your comics and art style inspiring. Plus your comic makes me remember all the reasons why I miss the Bay Area immensely.
I love your work, and I’m excited to see what’s to come <3
Oh, thank you so much :)
Since ’08? Wow. That is seriously impressive! I think I had like 20 total readers back then ^_^;;
OMG, 5 years?! That’s madness. (And also awesome. I don’t think I’ve ever maintained anything for even half of that, except maybe university. :P)
*hugs* Congrats, aniki ;)
Aw, thank you :D *hug*
ACK, DON’T PUT IT LIKE THAT. You remind me I’ve spent more years on this comic than I spent in university and that is a thought I find kind of terrifying!
