Riding in style

Trixie must lead a sheltered life, not to have seen a purse dog before!

Other than cartooning

A couple people have asked about my artistic endeavors other than cartooning. Since comic updates are pretty slow these days (hard to find time with all the house projects we are doing), I thought I’d post some photos. My first and foremost love is sewing/quilting, anything to do with fabric basically. I’ve made a lot of garments and draperies. More recently I’ve become obsessed with quilting, more on that later. For now, a couple of photos below.

My biggest and most fun project: designed and made my wedding gown (2005):

Here with my very handsome husband

Are any of you obsessed with fabric, too? If so, comment below. I’d love to hear from any other quilters out there!

Heading out

Trixie gets dropped off and reminded again that she is, in fact, on a diet. Ah…thank goodness for kind aunts, huh? (Being the aunt to 7 nieces and nephews, it is a role I can relate to!)

She lets me do anything I want

I think I’d be happy to go stay with Susan, too!

STRIPPED: The Comics Documentary

If you love comic strips, especially the good old-fashioned ones like Peanuts, Calvin & Hobbes, Cathy, Beetle Bailey and the like, you might find this interesting.

Sequential Films is producing a documentary called STRIPPED.
Described as a love-letter to comic strips, it brings together the world’s best cartoonists to talk about the art form they love, and what happens to it as newsprint fades away.

They’ve interviewed over 90 cartoonists, including the ever-elusive Bill Watterson!

If you want to know more, check out their Kickstarter project:

This is the first Kickstarter project that I’ve backed, and I cannot wait to see this film.

Long live comic strips!

Work + home improvement projects = Long lag between posts

Wild horses couldn’t have kept Trix away from the hot chicken soup.

The nose knows

It’s all about the soup.

Not another cat!

As much as Trixie loves a good hunt, the thought of another cat is just too much!
