Is this comic really an accurate depiction of your life?

The comic is loosely based on events that have occurred and are occurring in my life. Sometimes VERY loosely.

Your strips come out so sporadically.
Can’t you stick to a regular schedule?

Nope, sorry. Sometimes you’ll
find strips coming out every day, and other times they will be separated
by weeks or months. It depends entirely on what’s going on in my life;
sometimes I’d rather actually live my life rather than draw it. Please use the RSS feed to be kept updated on when new strips are posted.

Why does the style of your comic sometimes change so much strip to strip?

Because the strip is sort of like a virtual doodle playground for me. I like experimenting with different styles and layouts; I know my strip is not commercially marketable, but that’s ok…I do it for fun.

What do you use to make your strip?

I do everything using Corel Painter X and a Wacom Artpad, on my MacBook Pro

Hey, I’m a friend of yours. How come I’ve never appeared in your strip?

Maybe I think you’ll be offended. Or I can’t think a way of drawing you that won’t offend you. Or I don’t like you. Or you’re too complicated to draw. Or (most likely) I just haven’t gotten around to a strip I think would be appropriate. Don’t bug me about it or you’ll make an appearance in my strip that is more…er… memorable than you expected.

What else do you do?

I’m a freelance writer, illustrator and photographer. If you must find out more about me, you can check out DebbieOhi.com, Inkygirl: Daily Diversions For Writers (my weblog for writers, with comics), Blatherings (journal) or my personal homepage. I also encourage you to check out my weekly comic strip about freelance writers, Will Write For Chocolate as well as Waiting For Bilbo.

Could you give a summary of regular characters?

The following list will be updated over time, and I also plan to add character reference graphics.

Debbie - me.
Jeff - my husband.
Ruth - my sister.
Luisa - friend.
Allison and Jodi - my music partners/friends.
Cathy - a friend I’ve known since second grade.

OLDER STRIPS:
Parki - friend.
Rand - friend.
Invented co-workers: Tom, Natalie, Lyle.
