This last month has been very difficult in a number of ways... but I want to reassure you all that I'm still here--just a little behind in terms of personal work. I'm sorry, I'll try to get back on the wagon soon.

For Jeremy--I'll miss you terribly, your sense of humor always made me smile, no matter what was going on. You were a terrific teacher and an awesome friend.

For Bob--the light is always darkest before the dawn and I am always on your side. You've been the best friend and mentor a girl could ask for and I am 100% behind you, whatever you do.

In happier news, Olive is still going strong--we're going to hit the big 5-0 this next Monday. I'm intensely glad that I still love drawing my comic this much, it's very gratifying to work everyday doing something you adore. October seems much closer now, and I'm increasingly excited that I will get to see Olive in print someday soon.
