read part 1 here

nnnnng just thinking about posting the mall pages tomorrow is giving me consumerism PTSD. It’ll be anti-climatic for you readers but I’m already getting jittery hands and a sweaty butthole from the anticipation of reliving those terrible, immeasurable moments. Immeasurable because I dont know if I was lost in  the mall for 10 minutes or 3 hours. Either way, I emerged a changed woman. Probs for the worse.

the cookie incident pt 1

May 14, 2012

This ridiculous incident occurred almost 10 years ago in San Francisco when I shared an apartment with two dudes, one I was friends with and one who was just the worst. I’m going to run the whole, goofy story in 3 parts this week. It’s basically a 6 page story explaining why malls freak me [...]

A thing I did in high school

May 9, 2012

I remember a lot of people telling me that someday I’d regret not taking the SAT in high school and I’d regret not engaging in school and I’d look back and wish I’d at least attended my college graduation, but you know what? fuck that noise. I’m perfectly, some might even say smugly, satisfied with [...]

travels and parents and such

April 30, 2012

My ma and step-dad have been visiting NYC all week, doing delightful things like trying to hook me up with “Brad the Nashville Dilettante,”  picking up trash from the gutter and offering it to me as a souvenir, screeching every time I step off the curb just a little bit when the light is red [...]

Dear Mom, sorry about me

April 24, 2012

  Reserve your tickets ahead of time if you can. $5. This particular show is pretty special to me since my parents have never seen me do anything on stage and I’m pretty sure they’re waiting for my “cute little career of doodles” to crumble at my feet so I have to go back to [...]

comprehensive desk porn

April 12, 2012

Yesterday I posted about my desk at Pizza Island and some folks asked about all my other previous work spaces and I love talking about my old apartments and desk spaces and myself, so here they are, in order, from 2004 to 2012: This was my shittiest workspace where I first started drawing comics in [...]

the Dance Buzzer Game

April 2, 2012

preview pages: “taking ill”

March 28, 2012

These are some pages from the book I’m working on about moving to San Francisco in 2003 and getting sick with systemic lupus. It was a bummer. These pages depict what happened after I’d gone through a few months of being mysteriously ill (I know, how romantic sounding. In the olden times they probably would [...]

the disbanding of Pizza Island

January 23, 2012

Man, this post is the worst. Pizza Island, the studio I shared with five other cartoonists, is shutting down at the end of this month. The explanation we’re giving (lease up, rent going up, members leaving the country) is really just an elaborate ruse to cover up the real, more scandalous reason as to why we’re disbanding. The studio [...]

New Years 2012
