Doublecomic day, because I happen to have some extra strips hanging out. And yeah, I really did get told to go to a specialty crafts store whilst hanging out in a specialy crafts store. The mind boggles (also: if she was going to be that surly, could I trade retail jobs? I would totally love to work in her store, it is an otherwise amazing place).

Crazy nostalgia moment, but I’ve been at the Elle strips for almost a year and I think that’s pretty awesome. Last Comiccon I met with the Friends of Lulu group to celebrate my very first anthology launch, and I got crazy super inspired to get more involved with comics. I started doing the Elle strips last August as a constant form of comics practice - and crazily enough, it’s kind of worked! I realize my audience is kind of narrow and my strips are often plotless nonsequitors, but I’m enjoying what I’m doing and I’m planning to keep on trucking. So, wish me luck! It’s certainly been interesting.
