New Comic in latest issue of NEW CITY Magazine!

I have a new four page comic in the latest print issue of NEW CITY in Chicago! It’s an outtake from my memoir and is a story about visiting my mother at her job building the set and stage for The Rolling Stones Tattoo You tour. Don’t live in Chicago? Not a problem! You can order it here!

Get it while supplies last!!!

Still here in COVID Land

Here we are still in the trenches of COVID! There have been new developments even since these entries–so Poppy is still home for the time being. Some of us are getting more sick of it than others!

Isolated But Not Alone

This sucks folks, I’m not going to lie, but if anything this has shown me how connected we are. What an abundance friendship and family is. It’s keeping us afloat!

Cough Cough

Again, I want to say: we understand that home testing kits have a margin of error. We continue to remain vigilant and isolated. Stay safe everybody!!

Twist!

And just in case you are worried: we know that home kits give false negatives and are still isolating and taking every precaution we can. Graham has completely recovered from whatever was ailing him.

And So It Begins

I decided to keep this diary going as long as I can. It’s mainly for my family’s record, but I thought I’d post it as long as it makes sense (and my health allows). Yesterday was the first full day of COVID-19 in the house–and it’s catching! Or is it??

It’s in the House

Last night’s diary comic! It finally happened! My hope is that we get this over with quickly & on the lighter side!!

TODAS LAS CANCIONES TRISTES is out in Spain!

HOLA ESPANA!!!!!!

It’s official: All the Sad Songs is out in Spanish from the wonderful Libros Walden as TODAS LAS CANCIONES TRISTES!!

They’ve even created a playlist on Spotify especially for the book–it’s chronological and yet as moody as the cover!

So excited for new readers to discover this book! Thanks to Manuel and to all in Spain for making this happen! I am so happy it is making its way around the world!

Artist Talk In Poughkeepsie Saturday October 9th!

On Saturday I will be giving an artist talk IN PERSON at the Boardman Library in Poughkeepsie, NY about telling life stories in comics!

My inner 10 year old is doing backflips because I used to stare at this picture and imagine the lives of my cartooning heroes Wendy and Richard Pini, creators and authors of the Elfquest series, and wonder from my California home, where the heck Poughkeepsie was, and how you even pronounced it, and if there was a way I could possibly run away to live with them, or magically jump into the picture. Now I live 20 miles south of them and although my life doesn’t have elves in it, I have in a sense magically entered that picture through drawing my life in comic form–but wait! I’m spoiling my talk!

Register here and come hear me talk all about that portal between life and drawing and writing and living. It will be masked, social distanced, but it will be personal! Come on over!

Saturday, October 9, 1:00pm
