I got wee-viewed




Here: by Rob Clough at the Comics Journal

He reviewed "Warmth" and "Freddy: more stories". Rob is a really great writer, be sure to read all of his reviews. He mentions both Crockett Johnson and Lynda Barry, two of my favorite artists ever, which makes me incredibly happy. He is also spot-on about Tom Hart's wonderful influence on me as my advisor. Thank you so much Rob!

It's really interesting how most people think that the character in "Warmth" is Freddy... it's actually not wrong at all, even though I intended it to be me. Freddy and I are pretty much interchangeable. She's me as a child, but then made into her own person. Does that make sense?

Happy summer everybody!
