living in Greenpoint
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008I dont really talk on my cellphone in line at cafes, that’s rude as shit! My brother said that to me while on the walk home from Peter Pan Bakery, which reminded me of the time we were at Disney Land a few years ago and they’d limited smoking to certain, hard to find smoking sections and he kept getting busted by the park cops and every time they told him to put out the cigarette, he’d salute them and say “yes sir, officer Disney” and I’d laugh so hard I’d almost puke up a churro.
oh yeah, another painting up on ebay here (for those who asked why i use ebay, I have no idea how to price things so it’s just less stress for me, it’s not to jack up prices, I’m just not sure what i’m doing)

Now in technicolor!

It’s the first time I see color here! Feels strange… But positively strange.
November 18th, 2008 at 10:37 am
actually, I”ve done color a number of times. Usually if it’s in color, it means it’s appearing somewhere in print in color. otherwise i dont bother cause it’s a pain in the ass and i’m no good at it.

its only when you start trying to fill in the space with colour when you realise how many gaps in the line you make and don’t notice. Then everything turns the same colour turquiose as the sleeve of the ladies top you were going to colour in. The ‘undo’ button is useful, but soo frustrating!

Julia… not a comment about this comic, but I took a trip to vegas this past weekend which, of course, involved a plane. To keep my girlfriend’s mind occupied so she didn’t think about turbulence, she looked through the sky mall catalog. I started noticing some of the items as items I’d heard before, and by the marshmallow launcher, I remembered your comic about the very same mag, and got to see all of your wish list items in glorious detail! There are certainly a lot of interesting things in there…. at ridiculous prices.

Yo I am a big fan of the crullers at Peter Pan bakery. Also that all the kids working there are like 15 and this is SO obviously their first shitty job. Minimum Wage, YAH!

Whenever a cashier at, say, Best Buy asks for my mailing address, I will say 69 Poop St, Chocolateville, OH, 11117. Like you people need to know this.

What program do you use to colour in your comics?
November 18th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
I love this one, but I definitely think you’re internet-famous enough to have psycho fans use it to track you down. I hope that doesn’t happen! Of course, then you WOULD be able to chronicle the task of handing them their own asses, which would be mighty entertaining for the rest of us
Seriously though I hope that doesn’t happen cuz fans can be scary.

My friend Ashleigh lives on Jewel St.!

How could Julia POSSIBLY be tracked down? She’s never in the same place for more than a week :P.
November 18th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
Somehow the whole stalking, never being in the same place thread caused me to imagine a “tagged” JW, like the tags they used to track critters in the wild with those little transponders and a bunch of geeks tracking & recording her movments in a catalogue… Waiting for major scientific discovery in the field of New Yorkian-comic-nerd-bums.
K. I’m done being a dork now.

Julia-
Your Brooklyn Bridge painting is phenomenal! I request a GG Bridge with SF and Marin! Any chance this may be on your agenda?
November 18th, 2008 at 10:18 pm

Julia,
I’m enjoying the comic more and more every day..
So anyway, I started reading up on The Source family and you’re right.. they’re really interesting.. I came across this article on the band and couldn’t stop reading it even though it was long as hell…
anyway, it’s here: http://www.furious.com/PERFECT/yahowa13.html
(i know i should post this in the other comments section, but i don’t wanna)

Can you do more comics about Brooklyn neighborhoods? There’s a chance I might get a job in NYC and I’m clueless about finding a place to live. Do you know anything about Queens?
November 19th, 2008 at 1:50 am
The color looks good Julia. I wish I wasn’t a student and didn’t not have money. I’d bid on the great piece on ebay.
November 19th, 2008 at 9:55 am
The funny thing, I first started reading your comic when I lived in GA and you lived in SF. Now we BOTH live on Jewel St in Brooklyn. Go figure.
(And Busy Bee has neither Cheetos nor plain pumpkin mush in a can, which drives me crazy.)

I’m glad your stalkers now have a detailed day plan supplied to them.
November 19th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Clearly this is just a ruse to hide the fact that you have always lived in giant live oak on the edge of gumdrop falls. You slave in the cookie mills by day and by night you doodle comics on wasp’s wings. Oh and every other weekend there’s a Elf Boogie down at the Lollipop lagoon. You can’t fool me!

You should get an Etsy.com account. Its free and easy and You can set the prices however you want. PLUS! you live in brooklyn, the home of etsy.com, so you would probably get interviewed for their youtube blog which is a ton of publicity for your art sales as well as your comic.

shut the fuck up laura! now I’ll never get date to the pumpernickel prom. I’m gonna go drink a thimble fulla whiskey and cry myself to sleep i a matchbox

I’ve seen many bakeries named “Peter Pan”, but that’s probably only because pan means bread in Spanish.
