This week's strip: "Throw a Fake-Out"

2009-07-05T22:35:00.002-04:00

What's the dumbest reason you ever had for putting off a break-up? Not making you go first just to be cruel. I need extra time to narrow mine down to one.

This week's strips: "Program Head/The Ol' Can-Do Spirit"

Why's my Pride strip always take place on a sunny day? Because it always already rained like hell the day before, during the Dyke March. Don't really know why this is, but I welcome pet theories, while hanging my stuff all over the apartment waiting for it to dry.

Pride In the Universe, June 27

2009-06-23T20:45:00.003-04:00

I'll be at Jim Hanley's Universe for their LGBT signing this Saturday from 3-4 pm (click on Events & Signings at their new site for more details). C'mon down, and then march in, or cheer on, the Fifth Avenue Dyke March at 5 pm. It's always fun, even when it's raining, as it usually does.

Yeah, I know Star Trek's come and gone. Welcome to my world.

This week's strips: "Whole Lotta Lovin'"/"Bad with Directions"

2009-05-26T20:59:00.005-04:00

I'll be travelling for a week, so here's another twofer. The Iowa 80 Trucking Museum is for real, by the way, and I can't wait to visit it someday.

This week's strips: "Home Away From Home"/"The Gambling Table"

2009-05-14T22:14:00.004-04:00

Sometimes when I skip a week, it works out real well...

This week's strip: "Penny For Your Stocks"

2009-05-01T19:33:00.005-04:00

Sorry, this week's late excuse is Blogger. COMING SOON: Archives. I swear.

Still miss you, Iggy.

This week's strip: "Story Development"

2009-04-11T17:15:00.002-04:00

Yes, this was drawn weeks before the Iowa court decision. Sigh.

Mess with Texas

2009-04-03T23:46:00.004-04:00

I love the Dallas Voice because they're a fine paper and they run me every week, but for some reason they only archive the boy strips -- no Bitter Girl, no Jane's World -- and even the boy strip archives are several months behind. What's up with that? Do me a favor and write them demanding they bring the archives up to speed. All five of you.

This week's strip: "Bad Energy"

2009-04-03T23:30:00.002-04:00

Wow! By total coincidence, I sent Jessica & Rose off on a business/mess-around trip to Iowa the very same week gay marriage got approved there...Now what, readers?

This week's strip: "Doctor's Orders"

2009-03-27T22:38:00.004-04:00

How expensive is it to be gay even if your company does offer domestic partner coverage? Ask my spouse.

This week's strip[s]: "Music Boxed"/"Hits A Dirty Job"

2009-03-17T00:35:00.003-04:00

Sorry, I needed to skip a week for timing reasons, but didn't mean to skip three...

Lynn in the news

2009-02-26T21:55:00.005-05:00

Cartoonists are solitary and obsessed with their creations, so when they stumble across real-life twins of them, it's an insanely bright spot in their sad, weird little lives! Or am I only talking about one person?

Anyway, this chick totally reads as Lynn (above, right) to me. Although she definitely needs to become less good-natured, and start smoking at work.

Rose, of course (above, left), is sui generis. But I encourage people to send me real-life twins of her. Lots and lots and lots of real-life twins.

This week's strip: "Timing is Everything"

This week's strip: "Can't Leave Her Behind"

Week 2 and Seattle Gay News picks this moment to run Bitter Girl out of order! Let's try uploading this sucker. Click on it for a larger version.

NY Comicon

I'll be there all weekend. At the Vertigo panel on Friday too, since a couple announcements are of particular interest to me. C'mon down, buy a hot dog, watch out for Joss Whedon and the taxi-garage oil slicks, enjoy the European ambience of the Javits Center neighborhood.

This week's strip: "Brainstormy Weather"

2009-02-01T14:39:00.003-05:00

I'll start doing this regularly now. Enjoy. For a little bonus, here's last week's.

Planet of the APE

It's never too late to enjoy photos of the queer comics gang from this fall's Alternative Press Expo, at least in my world. Big Bear LA, whoever the heck he is, never got around to labelling these like he promised, but you're looking at panels & tables populated by me (looking alternately fat and cute), Jen Camper, Erika Moen, Justin Hall (wrestler mask), Paige Braddock, Brian Andersen, Rob Kirby, David Kelly, Rob Triptow, Jeff Krell and many others.

Happy Birthday, Joan Didion

OK, hers is December 5th, not 15th, but hey, I'm late for everything.

One of the few cool Joans out there. (You think I'm kidding, but between dead French martyrs and women who fare badly in pop songs, the pickin's are slim.)

Yes, loved Year of Magical Thinking, and "At The Dam" in The White Album is one of my favorite essays of all time, but I'm an especially big fan of Where I Was From and recommend it to all lapsed Californians. Celebrate her genius: read 'em all.

Spreading the Gospel

Zion got a hat tip on this Mormon arts & culture website, which delights me. The whole thing's an interesting read. Who knew there were LDS temple paintings decorating the walls in the backgrounds of Pickles?
