what a day of firsts. i picked up my nephew from day care for the first time BY MY LONESOME. and i read my first ever zine. the first first was due entirely to my sister who is pretending to be a single mother during the working week. kind of a stupid make believe if you ask me. because going to day care is time consuming. but god parents have the best job ever. having someone run to you when you pick them up just so they can give you cuddles is pure wonder.

my other first is all due to joanna who sent me her zine. i have more of a vision now and guess what? my zine is going to rock.

on the zine tangent, also i made a cartoon of homeperm just for garry. i mean, who would deny public speaker extraordinare and the man who brought us wainuomata chloe his one request?

i am assuming garry will be the only person in the world to find this even half as hilarious as i find it.

people are inspiring. first erin represents hilarious life moments in simple drawings. then i decide to write a zine. however, i haven't even read another persons zine yet so for now i'm copying erin's hilarity. i call today's comic strip HOW TO WRITE THE BEST BLOG POST EVER. and it sums up basically how i work my magic. funny cos it is true.

tonight i also drew an hilarious slice of life comic strip moment about the crush of my life duncan and how he is probably madly in love with me. i drew it for my bff at the quiz. but don't ask me about the quiz because even though i'm the world's authority on marty mcfly i didn't freakin even get third place. that's right. i had to settle for 4th. apparently there is no money attached and you could get a hug from the barperson of your choice. but since the man of my dreams is an alcoholic and shouldn't be working at a bar i chose noone.

anyway, the comic strip about duncan was funny cos not only did it ring true re: his likely love for me but also it poked fun of trademe. that's what the public want in their slice of life comics, both topicality and truth. i offer both. i expect my zine to sell like hotcakes.
