Love it!



btw I was among those who were scratchin' their heads, but in a good way. I always dig it when you take a funny, relateable setup (Jewelry Twitch!) and then go to a mysterious place with it.



I like how the new version expands on the core idea, but you still manage to end it on something a little oblique. Great work!

That's it. I am clearly getting stupider and stupider. I was with ya up until the Jane Eyre allusion. And I was a lit major. I feel so dumb. But, I guess... in a good way, like Kevin.

Dar, baby, none of it means anything anyway, right? Jane Eyre is just more chick stuff.

Thanks, Dad. And no, I haven't read Swamp Thing--I'll have to check it out. Oh wait, I might be married to it.

I get it now. It is all about not getting you big beef injection.

WOW. I feel like you are so much more evolved than I am... Okay, so here's what I got this time. Your ancient self is your creative soul that goes, dare I say, even beyond your motherhood creative self, because it pre-dated it. It was there in the girl I knew who made me laugh so hard I peed, and delighted me with her amazing rapidograph drawings, and she's back again WITH A VENGEANCE!!!! The goddess gives you inspiration and it is green and growing and mysterious. The goddess and the green man are not so very different in some ways. And PS Jane Eyre was a survivor too, and a heck of an artist. Thank you for going back and telling us more. Awesome!

E, you never stop sitting at the desk next to me telling me I'm going to grow up to be an artist. And you're also the best English teacher who ever lived. The combination makes you one of my most awesome readers.

i'm so glad you added more, jennifer. thought i got it last time, i realize now that i totally didn't.

you so deep, girl + i love it!

Kat, you patient thing. I'm not sure these extra panels helped or not. I'd say I went into apeshit territory here, and I learned that when I'm going apeshit it ain't easy to take my readers with me.

Julia, I'm sure you're supposed to be studying for exams, not reading comix on the internet. Good girl. Auntie Mame has taught you well.

*^%@*(^ - I totally thought I got it the first time ... But you never know, right!?!



That's the good thing with art.

I think all the different interpretations are right--maybe mine is only one of many that can work.



By the way, my daughter thinks your new little character with the hat is "adorable!". She wanted me to tell you. She saw it on the card you gave me at King Con.

Everyone has commented and said all...again!



I think it's okay to be vague even though I'm crystal clear in all my works. : )

Ooo, and you're a deep one, Tim. You juggle more plot than anyone I know. So if you think it's okay to be vague, I'll buy it.



Thanks!

Best panel is dancing with garden man, all green and priestess-like. This is your Thank-the-Goddess strip. And the thing about the Goddess is that she really likes consignment shopping quite as much as dancing naked in the garden.

But this was supposed to be my Thank-the-God strip! Or maybe it's that AND Thank-the Goddess. And I totally agree with you: the Goddess would SO go dumpster diving with us (you, me, Charlotte).

Ah, I love this new LP version for the short bus readers (of which I am one). That got my loins stirring with ancient mysteries. Thank you!

Your loins better settle down, my friend. I just finished reading Half-Empty and that book is long on the loin action! And may I say: well done!
Posted by: Tim Hall
02:45pm / Nov 16, 2009
aw thanks. Full Of It has much less loin action; it's about how people screw each other without sex. But I'm really right there in that garden, feeling that life-force. Beautiful.
