I put so much care into the art in this comic. I made it expressly for gURL.com, back when I could put a month into a comic at a time. Later I would have to crank a new comic out each week, leaving much less time to lavish on details and storytelling.

It was around this time that I proved to gURL my awesome comicking powers. My stories became more and more popular. It was exciting!

You can still read this and its discussion on gURL.com.
