Not only is this one of mrs. a-go-go's favorite strips, it is the last in vol. 1, the first little comic book that I self published. It didn't get far. I didn't push hard enough to talk Skylight books or any comic shops to sell it as a zine, but lots of friends wanted copies. mrs. a-go-go's explanation for her fondness of this strip is her soft spot for hats and it's evocation of photo booth strips. All that and the similarity to 60s slapstick movies or Laugh In.

One for Halloween 2005. A little Charlie Brown influence perhaps? and some Krazy too?

vol. 1, number 10

Hmmm... Up to this point the strip had been rather happy-go-lucky. I suppose I thought doing something poignant would be adventurous. I don't know if I pulled it off.

It's too bad planets are not gas bags and can't bounce off one another.

vol. 1, number 8

A dream sequence that hope is less obtuse. Does anyone else dream of swimming in eye balls?
