Ah. It seems like only yesterday (but it was 1991) that the “Concerned Mothers of America” announced that they were boycotting SANDMAN because it contained Lesbian, Gay, Bi and Trans characters. It was Wanda that upset them most: the idea of a Trans Woman in a comic book… They told us they were organising a boycott of SANDMAN, which they would only stop if we wrote to the American Family Association and promised to reform.

I wonder if they noticed it didn’t work last time, either…

They’ve just launched a new petition agains Season Two. I feel weird about the fact I think of them as lucky, but I really do. Sandman took off after their boycott was announced, and Lucifer seems to have been astonishingly well received and is coming back for a second season. Never change, Concerned Mothers of America (it was a better name than 1 Million Moms, honestly, because we wouldn’t have noticed the vast disparity between your name and your 3,528 Twitter followers if you were still the CMA).

It Begins...

Hello, denizens of the Internet! I created this Tumblr account because I have decided to take the plunge and create my own comic book.  It’s rare to see someone document their journey from the very beginning so I invite you to follow along as I develop my skills and hopefully reach my goal of actually getting paid to do this.

Did I mention I am thirty seven and have not drawn anything in damn near twenty years? And that I have a husband, two kids and a dog? So, yeah, I’ve got a long way to go.

And now, armed only with a wooden staff, I enter the dungeon of creativity to slay the beasts that stand in my way. Join me, travelers! It will be a hell of a ride! Mwa ha ha ha!
