Cats Don't Dance from the 1900s

Cats Don’t Dance fanart that I drew in the last century, circa 1997-1999 when I was about 13-15 years old. Helioscope, my comic book studio, has started up a monthly movie night with a focus on sharing films that may not have been widely seen by our other studio members. Last night was my turn to host so not only did I bring in my DVD that I’ve had for thirty years (older than a number of our members) but I also dug up these ancient rungs on the ladder of my foundational artistic development.

I'm joining the inimitable Carson Ellis for a conversation at Bart's Books this month! Come help celebrate the release of her new book, One Week in January, on October 12th in the Bart's courtyard from 6-7pm. We'll be chatting about creative booms in funky towns, spending time with our younger selves, and finding community in rural spaces. Event details here. More bloggy stuff about it on my site here.

Letters From Space Camp, page 26

As I went through the mental hospital program, Matt and I processed it very differently. He very much did not like the idea that there was something "wrong" with me and for me to make jokes about being "crazy" was really upsetting for him. So, we reached a compromise.

I tend to see my experiences as if I'm the Main Character, especially when I'm off doing something like being a first-time patient at a mental clinic, but it turns out my loved ones are also experiencing this as well, even if they're on the outside.

Page 25 of Letters From Space Camp is up just for patrons.

Non-patrons can also make a one-time $5 purchase to read the entire 162 page first draft of this story, plus this current 29 page chapter-in-progress that I'm revamping to send out in my book pitch.

I've added the completed 162 page first draft PDF to this post, so you can read the full story. It's just drawn with super rough stick figures, flat colors, and, of course, it's the first draft so I've made a ton of changes in the current 3rd draft, which I am serializing in the above post.

Letters From Space Camp, page 24

Most of my fellow patients in the mental program were on a leave of absence from work, but I was a self-employed cartoonist so I would bus from the hospital at the end of the day to work at my studio late into the night.

New page with annotation just for patrons ooooorrrrr you can make a one-time purchase to read this entire chapter-in-progress and download the full 162 page completed first draft of Letters From Space Camp.

Come As You Are by Dr. Emily Nagoski, Reviewed by Erika Moen

THE “SEX DRIVE” DOESN’T EXIST. Yup, that’s right! Erika Moen was shocked to learn this and so much more in Dr. Emily Nagoski’s bestselling book on the science of sex, Come As You Are. It debunks tons of popularly accepted misinformation about sexuality and presents alternative explanations for how and why sex stuff happens the way it does. If you think you’re broken sexually, don’t worry, you’re sexually whole and healthy. The science says so. She can prove it.
