An Alternative to Talking…

Sun Draw

I have a special affinity to this strip. It’s completely based on life. Not because this particular incident happened, but because it could have.

Growing up, I was very shy. My main form of communication was doodling. Kids always asked me to draw something for them and I was always happy to oblige. I felt like I was able to somehow share a part of myself without having to say a word.

And this still holds true. I’m no longer so reserved, nor do I have time to give away drawings on the spot, but I do try to extend myself through the strip –in my shyer moments it helps to convey my thoughts on paper. Who knew humor could play such a connecting role?

Finance strips…

There’s no doubt about it…times are tough. The Kaplans have had some ups and downs lately on the financial front. Jill lost some freelance gigs. Rob has to pick up the slack. And they’re just cartoon characters. Things MUST be bad.

Just as America is feeling the pinch of the recession, I’d like PD-land to reflect the current climate. After all – bad take-out habits aside — these are characters based on some semblance of real life. They age, they go through changes, and they freak out about the changes. Financial burdens are a part of their reality. Like mine. Now excuse me while I go hurl over my IRA statement.
