July 2nd, 2007 Just Don’t Look… Episode ten of A Coming Out Story is up now…
…In which it begins to dawn on our hero that resistance may be futile. Click Here or on the graphic above to go directly to episode ten. Or click Here to go to the main series page. Coming up: Episode 11 – An Intervention Moment. In which Left Brain and Right Brain try to reason with this Libido character. Probably sometime in August, after my trip out west.

That was hilarious.
I became an expert at looking, but pretending I wasn’t. In my case, it was Joe and Mike, a pair of identical twins who never once talked to me. (and I never worked up the nerve to talk to either of them) They were a year ahead of me, and it was a dark day when they graduated. I must have sulked for days.
But those jeans they wore! Day-um. (it was the late ’70’s/early ’80’s. Draw your own conclusion.)

Heh…glad you liked it Bill. That one was a lot of fun. I was giggling constantly while working on it. I think a lot of us developed that knack for looking and pretending you aren’t back in school. As an alternative to that, I took up photography and became the school newspaper and yearbook photographer (in addition to being the paper’s cartoonist), so I had an excuse not only to look, but to snap pictures. Heheheh… An episode on that aspect of my high school days is coming.
And the jeans back then…Yes! I sulked all through the 1980s and 90s after snug fitting low risers went out of fashion. And when those really ugly phat things came into fashion I just wanted to move to another planet…

Well, the ones they wore weren’t low risers, but sweet lordy-gordy, they were tight! I mean, very. tight. Tight enough to see how…blessed they were.

Smack!
Hee hee, very funny. I love the facial expressions on the close-ups. You got a very unique thing going on. Can’t want for the book to come out! (You’re going to print them, right?)

Thank you Willie! And thanks especially for the kudos on my faces. One thing I think is so very very neat about the cartoon form is how expressive you can be in the faces, with just a few little lines.
Yes…I do plan on printing this all up in book form when I get it done. But that’s clearly going to be a few years away at best…sorry to say.
I had a neighbor ask me the other day if I did my own artwork and it kind of surprised me a tad. Yes…it’s all me there. I don’t think I could do this with somebody else. Yes…I have a script someone could work from…but the artwork tells the story. I need to do this myself, to tell the story I want to tell.
