I'd just like to say I think your work is fantastic.

Simple, emotional, dramatic, beautiful and the rest.

But I think we need a "may-make-you-cry-in-your-lunch-break" warning tag.

Someone tell Josh.

Keep it up.

Sorry for the late reply... yeah, I'd love to trade or buy. Are the earlier issues out of print? And yes, I do believe I'll be in SF for the APE, so see you there?

I've read all you have to offer here, it's endlessly fascinating, are you planning a full compilation book at some time, because I would totally buy it.

[ Posted by MariNaomi on Mar 17th, 2007 3:05 AM ]... Thank you so much! This is all going into my next issue of Estrus Comics. You can read about the last issue on my website, http://marinaomi.com/estrus.html Someday it'll all go into a graphic novel, but I've got some work to do before that'll be completed...

You are brave to share your life with the rest of us in your comics. I hope to have half your courage some day.

Hey Mari! Thanks for hanging out in Seattle. It was an owlbearish good time. I really liked the comics you have posted here... any chance you have physical copies to sell/trade?
