how doth the little crocodile
I spend most of my time thinking about comix, Doctor Who, coffee and thrift stores. I write a zine called Coffee Spoons, and I keep a vaguely professional comics blog here.

I just started following thenearsightedmonkey, so I’ll go ahead and apologize for the Lynda Barry spam that’s sure to follow. I’ll try to withhold too many glowing posts, because sometimes when I talk too much about how I love Lynda/how she inspires me/ how she puts into words all the things I ever think about creativity, I get a little too into it.

Number one role model//idol// inspirational groove goddess Lynda Barry. Read ‘What It Is’ and then go fingerpaint or knit or fold origami or sing really loud while you walk to class.
An open letter to Ms. Barry— Last time you were in Chicago I had the swine flu (ew) but my new number one ultimate dream is to go to your workshop. Please come to me soon.
