Your Lucinda Giggles is just Genius! I love it and would like to see more. They would make GREAT children's books! If I were an editor, you'd be hired!

Andy, good stuff. I'll probably pick up your comic from Slave Labor, looks terrific. Slave Labor Graphics is a good choice for publisher, wish they published my stuff.
Cheers, Rob

RE: life of a comic artist...

Very cool! You're too candid though. You should've talked instead about the panties that get thrown at you, movie deals, and free travel to exotic places.
