9:35AM: Hey! Today is a special/weird day, I am going to draw some comics about New England Webcomics Weekend this past weekend! I have a lot of tiny sections to do, so this’ll expand every few hours until I let you know down hurr in the blog post that I am done. Eventually they will be in chronologicalish order. This first one is about not crying when I met Jeph Jacques.
10:37AM: These two sections are both about webcomics people I didn’t really know anything about until I got to webcomics weekend, and now I know things about them! I guess I should put a little more space between these sections. The next one might be a while, while I take a break to eat! (I have never had to put “while” next to “while” in a sentence before today.)
1:01PM I have made the first section, third, about the NEWW pub crawl on Friday night. I was socially awkward during it! But I drank a very yummy very dark beer.
3:41PM I AM QUEER AND/OR ANXIOUS, HAVE YOU HEARD? I might just get everything I wanted to draw drawn by midnight! If you could see me you could see me knocking on wood because haha. These comics, unlike the rest so far, are *SPRINKLED IN* the middle, because they happened after some of the other stuff. Ian says he wishes I drew little comics all day EVERY day but apparently he does not realize that it is making me lose sense of time/space/reality.
8:17PM And we’re back! There will be one more after this one, and I’ll title all the sections.
12:13AM Aaand we’re done. Haha, I’m sorry the titles are so awful. And the lack of transcripts, I can try to work them out this weekend. Also NOBODY STEAL MY CAT SKETCH IDEA IT IS MY BEST IDEA.

I so identify with the awkwardness of interacting with new people in an unfamiliar environment. You’re brave to overcome your anxiety and have a good time. Also, the drawing book was an awesome idea! Thanks for the funny, relatable comic.
Hmm; time to check if the anime con I help staff arranges for a unisex restroom, methinks.
Holy crap you were at NEWW?? I had no idea. I was there too! I would have loved to meet you; this comic is one of the few comics I’ve ever read where I can actually relate to the characters. Are you local to the Easthampton area? I live in Greenfield.
I’m from and currently live in New England, but not MA, though I did go to college in Western Mass. I’ll probably also be at ConBust at Smith!
Nope, I still don’t get the beer thing…
I was also at NEWW and I saw the banana coming through, too! Perhaps there were a series throughout the weekend?
In more awkward news, I was also in the audience at a panel where the artist for Dresden Codak said, [Adobe] “Illustrator is for queers” when I asked him if he preferred Illustrator or Photoshop. I was promptly struck dumb. O–o Sad that such a silly thing has stuck with me for several months.
NEWW in general was splendid, though, and I’m glad I went.
I was at NEWW too, and very sad it was before I was reading this!
I will not steal your cat sketchbook idea, because I already collect sketches of DINOSAURS, rar.
Your comic is so so so awesome. It’s really good, and I’m enjoying the hell out of it, and I’m glad to see someone in the activist community making wonderful comics. So yay!
