Return of the Journal

In 2003, I discovered a robust community of online cartoonists who chose to share the details of their lives with comic journal entries. Inspired, I began doing the same, and for about 18 months every day or so (more frequent at first, less frequently at the end) I posted a little glimpse into my life. By joining the Journal Comic Jam, I plugged into an eclectic group of like-minded characters, and enjoyed a casual email relationship with some very talented folks.

But as it has for so many other journal cartoonists, life intervined--we bought a house, started a business, had a baby--and the posts stopped. After two years, my friend Katie Ward asked if I was still at it, and that got me thinking about it agian. Scrolling back through my old archives, I got nostalgic; the cartoons triggered tiny memories I would otherwise have forgotten, and I began to regret not documenting the last two years of my life.

So here we are back again. We'll se how it goes.
