In an effort to either artfully develop or clumsily exorcise a recent love-affair with comics, I've picked up a regular, fidelitous drawing habit. I plan to model this journal as a sort of nursery for the squalling, unsteady progeny of said affair: a space where they can crawl around, babble, gnaw on the furniture, and maybe one day grow into functional, upright, graphic adults. I invite you, as a designated Mentor/Relation, to wander around as well, and shower them with loving snuggles or remonstrating criticisms as you see fit, so long as you do so with a keen eye toward their Moral and Aesthetic Growth.
And, while you're on the comics-prowl, I also recommend gandering at some of these commendable folks:
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
lucylou, for damn well-drawn and sickeningly adorable girlventures.
asivt, for hearty, quick-witted storytelling I'll never admit stalking.
sweedledome, for the most reliable news source covering Plaidistani adventures.
d_esque, for a dose of maybe-sometimes-updated maternal-fun/factoids.
And as a bonus for people in the Boulder area, or who want a peek into the world of Boulder cartoonists, there's now an official Art-Type Blog for the Boulder Comics Club! Check it out at http://bouldercomics.wordpress.com
