Robin Drawing

Here’s a drawing of Robin I did as a gift for my friend Becca. The Tim Drake version (Becca’s favorite). I really don’t draw superheroes often; I’m guessing that the last time I drew Robin, I was a teenager myself. Robin was originally created by Bob Kane, Bill Finger and Jerry Robinson. Tim Drake, a […] Continue reading

Repairing a Sexist Cartoon

The webcomic “Least I Could Do” posted this amazingly sexist cartoon today: (It was too wide to fit onto a regular blog, so I reformatted it a bit.) Emmy Cicierega suggested that people try repairing the cartoon with some strategic relettering, and posted a version with oddly tweaked art and blank balloons. Eat, Drink and […] Continue reading

White Women, Tears, and Coded Images

white-women-tears-and-coded-images

Okay, so I think we all know about Taylor Swift being interrupted last year at the VMA’s right? Right. Kanye West caught all kinds of hell for it, and even for his subsequent apologies. So, then why is the video I linked her performance from this year’s show? You can’t convince me that you don’t […]

I turned it into a story but the hole in my heart is still there

Last year when I was a guest on Hour of the Wolf I read my 9/11-inspired story Until Forgiveness Comes on the air. Jim Freund liked it so much and liked the radio-y/NPR-esque-ness that he suggested we should record it as a radio play. I am all for that, so I wrote a script and […]

Is this really what Jesus would do? If your answer is yes, may I suggest the following:
CHRISTIANITY: UR DOIN IT WRONG
P.S. Dear Rick Lazio, as my mother used to say: God don’t like ugly.

Two More Hereville Title Page Sketches

Back when I was selling the self-published comic book of Hereville, folks sometimes paid extra for their comic in order to have me do a drawing on their title page. (A similar offer is now available for folks who preorder the hardcover book). Sometimes these sketches would be requests, other times I’d just choose a […] Continue reading

The Dark Side of Being Pretty

the-dark-side-of-being-pretty
I’ve been ruminating over my own experiences as a pretty woman for some time now. On the one hand it has definitely benefited me in some ways. I understand that it can benefit me in larger ways that I don’t necessarily notice or know about because of the reaction our society has to attractive people. […]

Incredibly Kind Review of Hereville in School Library Journal!

On the School Library Journal website, blogger Elizabeth Bird posted an incredibly kind review of Hereville: “Yet another troll-fighting 11-year-old Orthodox Jewish girl,” says the byline. Well seriously. How was I supposed to pass that up? I’d grabbed a copy of Hereville at an American Library Association conference along with a whole host of other […] Continue reading
