I’m not good at posting on a regular basis – I apologize to all three of you – but here are some items of note that I’d like to pass along to you, dear reader: My friend Pat Sandy did a 10 Questions with Tom interview, and you can read it here.  He is a…… Continue reading Here are some things.

Tom Falco is a writer and cartoonist who has a blog (Tomversations) (I love the play on words), and also does interviews with folks on his 10 with Tom segment for the Huffington Post (you can view them here). I stumbled upon his blog a while back, and he had written about some new comics he…… Continue reading My 10 with Tom Falco Interview!

In my comics, I am sometimes referred to as “Lucy”.  That is my family nickname that precedes my memory – as in, I don’t ever remember not being called Lucy. I figured maybe folks would wonder about this, so I wanted to put that out there.  Might be a little confusing, as Amanda and Lucy…… Continue reading Nicknames and Thangs.

My Facebook memories reminded me that one year ago today, I sent off submission packets to five different syndicates.  One of those yielded feedback, which I heeded in order to make my comic better.  After drawing up enough strips to send off again, I resent in June (I believe), which was the winner.  That same…… Continue reading What a difference a year makes! But you knew that.

This is the comic that ran today on GoComics.  I do a comic now and then where I joke about being tired, or sleeping at work. I assure you, in real life, I have never slept at any length at work (I HAVE, though, shut my eyes for a minute, and then snapped awake).  I…… Continue reading If my bedroom was set up like my office, I could sleep better.

A gal that I went to high school with messaged me today and told me that my comic today made her laugh out loud (in real life, because she had prefaced it with “I’m glad I was working from home today because”). If I can reach just ONE person… Seriously, though.  Very lovely sentiment, and…… Continue reading That’s high praise.

A friend told me this once – a friend who is also a cartoonist.  I’ve had a few years since that was said (probably like, nine years or more?) to hone it into something less spastic. It’s still under construction – always will be, I’m afraid. I bring up the subject of my less-than-desirable penmanship…… Continue reading “Amanda, no syndicate will ever want your stuff because of your crystal-gripping hippie handwriting.”

My co-workers from three jobs ago are featured in my comic strip, as I started the timeline for the strip at that time in my life (about 3 or 4 years ago).  They are incredibly good to me and have featured my drawings of them as their avatars for a work message board (or, that’s…… Continue reading I do it for the fans.

I hope you all had a good 2016.  I feel like social media has made it clear that no one did, but I don’t really believe that to be true.  If you base your fortune upon how many famous people died, and whether or not your candidate got elected, you’ll never have a good year.…… Continue reading The Time for a New Year is Nigh.

I know my comics have been in “reruns” – as in, I’ve ran them before, but not on this particular venue – but I promise they will be new starting sometimes this spring.  I’ve been working on the new stuff (I want to stay far ahead – hopefully this happens), and also some other projects.…… Continue reading No one likes reruns.
