I've always loved and created comics, and last summer I began making them as a way to cope with anxiety and process the world around me. I had intended to just hide them in my sketchbooks forever, but a friend talked me into finishing some of them and sharing them online.

So a small, but extremely rewarding journey began of creating and sharing comics with the world on a weekly basis. Here are a few of my favorites from the past 6 months. I hope you enjoy them.

Sometimes I think this is the downfall of online dating. Too much information without meeting someone.

That was definitely me, as a small child. This happened when I was about four: my mother was talking to a neighbor next door and, when there was a break in the conversation, I asked both of them, "If angels are dead people, why were there angels with God before He created everything, including people?" The neighbor, Mrs. Jenkins, slowly backed away into her own apartment and my mother looked at me with her mouth open. Later, she told my father about it. I think that was when they decided I needed to go to private school when I turned school-aged. Sidenote: I understand, now, that angels are not dead people; they are a different and separate order of being than humans. But, in my defense, the pictures in children's Bibles, which is what generated the question in my mind, are often VERY misleading, theologically speaking. Mine had happy little angels surrounding God when He created the world and I was like, "Wait a minute..."

Omg I had hermit crabs and they loved each other and ganged up against a bully. They even looked after the weakest one of them and let him have the most food...

I know, right? Laminate that picture and just keep it in your pocket to show to folks who are running off at the mouth with their rainbows and unicorns and sunshine. All you have to say is, "See?'

Ugh there is a mouse in my house. I have used this trap and the freaking mouse has gotten away with the bait 3 times without triggering the trap! Now I feel bad and don't want to kill it

My friends and family see very different versions of me. But both are me. Truly.
