Beautiful! But why doesn’t it list your first alma mater? Did you (like Bechdel) have a bad experience here?

Thanks to you both!
I had a really great time at Oberlin! It’s just that the other two are more relevant — SVA because they have a big cartooning program, and PSU because that’s where I won the Schulz Award.

I just received an ARC of Hereville and I LOVED it! I can’t wait for more adventures for Mirka. And btw, I went to Oberlin too! English major, class of 1989 – did we cross paths? I was Heidi Rabinowitz then.

I don’t remember us crossing (Tom? Do you remember Heidi?), but that doesn’t mean much — I’ve got a terrible memory!
And I’m so glad you liked the ARC!!!
