[Pen/Pencil Review] A Lovely Trip to Graphite Pencil + Paper
Apologies for the late date – it’s been a weird week. This weekend we took a fully masked and socially distanced trip to McKinny to see our friends at Carpe Diem Comics and to make the trek over to Graphic Pencil + Paper. The Summer subscription box is in the mail – and apparently taking […]
[Writer Post][Conventions] Weatherford Comic Con
Sorry I’m late… stuff happens. This is the story of Weatherford Comic Con. That as last Saturday (April 2) we trekked out to have a vendor table at this first year event.

[Pen/Pencil Review] Speech & Thought Bubble Sticky Notes
I have awesome friends. They find me fun and unusual pens and other lovely things. These sets of sticky notes came from my friend, Meredith, and I wish I had more opportunities to use them – though when I get my novel edits, I think I’ll have ample opportunities. These sticky notes came in two […]
[Spotlight Post] Bob the Squirrel and Frank Page
Today’s spotlight is one of my favorite daily comic strips–and it’s creator. I adore Bob the Squirrel.

He is, in fact, the only squirrel I actually like (probably because […]
[Writer Post] I Have Strange Taste in Comics – or – Why Mark Tatulli Rocks

In fact, […]

Darby Conley … DUDE…
Darby Conley writes/draws Get Fuzzy. Some times I don’t get this comic, and sometimes I think some of the story lines go on a bit too long. The Buckyvania stuff, for example, but this week… THIS WEEK, I’m all about the Darby Conley/Get Fuzzy Love. This pun fest has been going on ALL WEEK, and […]
Writing 101 – It’s all about perspective…
I’m putting in one last Non Sequitur comic up this week to point out that rejections are all about perspective. Just because you get a rejection doesn’t mean your book/story/poem/article is BAD – necessarily. It could mean any number of things: they have one like it, it didn’t fit the market, or it could need […]
Continuing Writers 101 – Non Sequitur Version
