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!

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!!

Paper Pencil Life #5 is here!

The 5th issue of my ongoing collection of autobiographical comic stories Paper Pencil Life is HERE and READY TO GO! I know I said September, but I got it in early and so WHY wait? It looks SO GREAT and I cannot wait for all of you to have it!

$8.00 for 52 pages of black and white (even some gray!) comics spanning the last year. Comics about old sitcoms, mixed tapes, lost uncles, found photos, freaky birds, jazz tunes and SO MUCH MORE!  Several comics appearing for the very first time!

I am extremely proud of this issue and I hope you will like it. Get it now while supplies last!

Paper Pencil Life #4 is HERE!

Excuse me while I do a little dance! My latest collection of comics and diary comics, Paper Pencil Life #4, is at last available to purchase! 52 pages of comics in beautiful black and white! Stories about road trips, the artistic life, strange mothers, anxiety, and so much more! All for just $8.00!

I have to tell you that I am immensely proud of this work–I think it is my best issue yet. It has my favorite stories I’ve made in it–plus I just love how it looks!

Also–THIS JUST IN: I’ve also added a limited edition 4 pack of all 4 issues of Paper Pencil Life in my shop–4 issues for the price of 3! This way you can get the whole shebang and for a cheaper price!

SOLD OUT!

I’m thinking about not reprinting Issue #1 after this conference season to make room for more stuff (although the jury is still out on this one). I’m growing away from those initial first attempts pretty quickly and it’s starting to embarrass me a little when people buy PPL #1 to get an introduction for what I do. It doesn’t feel current anymore! So if you’ve been considering buying one, this 4 pack might be a good way to go–get the complete set while it lasts!  

SOLD OUT!

All of these will be available at CXC and MICE in October, but if you won’t be there or can’t wait–get ’em in the shop!

This is What Cabin Fever Looks Like

Apologies in advance if the next few comics are just me complaining about the snow.  This was written a week ago and today we have been hit by another snow storm with one to follow (again) on Thursday.  By my calculations, we have been hit with snow storms every 4 days for the last 4 weeks. Parents out there: I am raising my winter salute to you all.
