Oooh, PRETTY!

The printing of Mr. Pluto, my mini of my first 24 Hour comic, is spooling off the laser printer even as I type.
It was a lot of fiddling to get my pencils looking right, but it is looking GORGEOUS. You folks who are buying it Saturday at Zeus Comics in Dallas or who've ordered it are in for a TREAT. And if you haven't--it's sweet. You'll be happy.

As the Young Folks Say: OMFG Comics Journal Shoujo Cover!

Oh my god, this is gorgeous. I can hardly stand it.

I'll be doing an essay for the issue, too, on manga's influence on my work. With pictures, even! I am so proud to be a part of this. Effin' WOW!
EDIT: To be clear: the art is by Moto Hagio, not me!
