Thanks to all of you who have been following my work for the last few years, months or minutes, I am overjoyed by your existence.

In other news, hey Chicago, I’m coming your way on June 16 & 17 for CAKE, the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo! I’m tabling with my buddies Julia Wertz and Domitille Collardey and I’m on a Sunday afternoon panel, “Crude and Rude: The Importance of Vulgarity,” with fellow rude-dudes Ivan Brunetti, Hellen Jo and Onsmith.

What else is up? I’m enjoying Instagram lately. I don’t know, my brother made me join and then I liked it! I’m “lisadraws” on there. Dog pictures.
