This was just about my first comic ever. I'd read comics as a kid, but I had gotten away from them. The internet wasn't what it is and we didn't have any comic shops near us. At the end of my master's degree in English, a professor gave me Alison Bechdel's Fun Home, and I realized that comics were how I wanted to tell my stories. This was my thesis...
The art is rough, I've learned a lot since then. The subject is kind of rough too. It is about my childhood and trying to reconcile religion, sex, and who I am.
