You need a little houseplant, something alive in your space other than you…something other than groceries and weird window shades, to greet you when you return, but that doesn’t come with the complications of small pets–in other words, your plant will not hold it against you if you come home at weird hours…but it will watch over you as you sleep…

i’ll send you a post card this weekend, just to say hey (getting mail makes the place official, right?)
also, nice detail on the makers bottle (right?)

the first night hurts no matter where you are. “this is supposed to feel like HOME??”
September 27th, 2007 at 11:27 am
yeah, it didn’t help that I slept on an air mattress for two weeks either. and yep, it’s a makers mark bottle, I love drawing them. And a houseplant is exactly what I need, anything that won’t get mad at me for not coming home every night.

Hey, this drawing is fantastic! High fives to you!

Looks very cozy!

Well done, Wertzy. You are really getting good at depicting detail and perspective and all that jazz. It’s fun to see your drawing style evolve so wonderfully.
Also, here is a list of items I lost in this room- one pair of favorite earrings, one lipstick, two lip glosses, one modicum of self respect. Please notify me if any are found.

I used to rent that crib site. The heater/mystery box on wall never fully functioned.
There might still be some weed tucked into one of the cracks in the wall. Have at it.

BOOM, BANG, RATTATTATTATTATTA, Police Sirens and car alarms
There that’s better

So I live near Bushwick, if you need someone to ride a bike with sometime, I have one to ride and one to share. Only one geeky helmet tho. I am friendly, don’t bite, and know many places to bike and get cheap beer!

Memories and nightmares of moving to a new city. To your benefit I lacked Maker’s Mark to guide me to happiness.

I see the start of a steampunk wall art installation. I’d build off that theme if I were in similar digs anyway. That or art-deco ala Terry Gilliam’s Brazil. Either is appropriate.

Hey, Bushwick is a kickass area, in both the “awesome” sense of the word, and the “make a meal of you” sense of the word. I have friends who live there, and have heard many a jealousy/shudder inducing tale.
Such is life in “the” city, I suppose.
Are you going to work a coffee shop still, or is your fantastic art now supporting you?
(Not that it is really any of my business, but I was just thinking that, despite it being sort of hipster heaven, you could be a barista at Baked, an amazing bakery and coffee-shop in Brooklyn.)
Hope that the city is treating you well. (Also, hi! I am Rachel, and have been a reader since Ryan North recommended your comic highly. Great job!)

actually, I’m a bartender now. no more 5am alarm clock buzzing for me now!

you want me to mail you some googly eyes so you can transform that heater panel thing into a friendly monster? I also have shiny gold pipecleaners if you wanna give it some flair.

Laura Park, every day I don’t meet you is a tragedy.
September 28th, 2007 at 8:31 pm
bushwick sounds badass. another good drawing. booya squared.
September 29th, 2007 at 12:08 pm
Yeah, for some reason the vibe I get from the boiler is “hello”, like a friendly idiot waving to you from the other side of a river.
So You should definitely googly-eye that machine.
