Here’s my comic for the Dirty Diamonds Vol. 8 - Sex;
“It’s Only a Fantasy”
Little bit of history on this comic; when I agreed to be a contributor, I had a different idea from the one you see now. “Sex at 20 vs Sex at 30″ - it was to be light and funny, similar to the work I usually create. Two weeks before submission, while I was still traveling in the Philippines, my personal life was completely turned upside down and I found myself heartbroken (again). I had no idea how I would summon the strength to make this comic. I wanted to quit. Then came a flood of support from the two publishers (Kelly and Claire - you are actual superheroes) - I scrapped my original idea and came up with something to reflect my current feelings. I spent a few days working at the lovely Blue Sky Center in the rural town of New Cuyama and, using an entire notepad of post-its, wrote and re-wrote this story until it accurately captured what was in my heart. Many tears and lots of edits later, this 3-page diddy emerged. A very personal comic to me indeed. My hope is that whomever is reading this can relate and find some comfort here.
Oh hopeless romantic, you are not alone.
