Given the nomenclature referenced in panel #7, when I read panel #8, I missed the movie reference and thought for a moment that you had gone ghetto and were referring to a character you follow on TV that you feel you have a close bond with and is one of your “homies.”

I still love My Girl, too. I even still like My Girl 2. Even though that kid’s a dick.

Oh man, you should see the way my mom loses her shit when the Internet goes down. The novelty has worn down on me so much that I only wince a little, but that woman absolutely thinks it’s the end of the world.
Also, new reader here. Read the archives over the course of a few days after being linked through Abstruse Goose while reading THEIR archives. I’m planning to buy the books soon.

Mindblowing…

Now will you let me buyyou a new bag?
And some shoes, too? Love, mom
July 21st, 2009 at 11:56 am
no! no new bag! but I did finally buy news shoes. I bought them off the internetz like I live in Kansas or something and not New York because I hate shopping. I wanna move back to the country just so I don’t have to wear shoes anymore

The last two panels had me in stitches.

Will you be attending the Comic Con in chicago in September???
July 21st, 2009 at 3:42 pm
When my internet goes down I can’t find out what is happening in your world, then I have to find out what is happening in mine. (not advisable)

I WANT A MOTHER FUCKING FART PARTY T-SHIRT! SHIT!!!
July 21st, 2009 at 10:24 pm
Oh shit I never wanted a shirt before the guy above me said he wanted a shirt. MAKE SHIRTS.
July 21st, 2009 at 10:27 pm
Eh, I’m over it. Keep your energy focused on the important stuff.
And when I say “important stuff” i mean more comics for us.
July 22nd, 2009 at 11:57 am
I have a shirt and it’s awesome. I hate explaining how the comic is not about farts when I wear it. People are dumb.
July 22nd, 2009 at 1:19 pm
It’s funny that some other guy named vincent commented right after me, making me seem like a demanding asshole. In his credit, shirts are nice and making me seem like an asshole is nicer.
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:38 pm
You are the funniest cartoonist on the planet.
Why aren’t you rich and famous??.. There’s no justice in the world..
July 22nd, 2009 at 4:19 pm
-Will you be attending the Comic Con in chicago in September???
Nope, one Comic Con a year is already one too much and I already suffered through NY Comic Con and this weekend, San Diego. The only convention I’ll be at after SDCC this year is SPX.
-Why aren’t you rich and famous??
because not many people actually read comics and even fewer pay for them. also, this world’s fucked up ya’all, how else do you explain Ryan Seacrest being a rich, dumb bastard?

dickclarksdong that’s what
also, top form Wertzie! once more

Was it intentional that the Public Hair booklet had a longass hair placed between the pages? If so: Hilarious! If not: Hilarious!
July 23rd, 2009 at 2:53 am
oh those poor hicks in Kansas that don’t have stores or anything(!)
July 23rd, 2009 at 7:20 am
ive been following your shit for two years but thiis hands down the most brilliant yet.on all levels
July 23rd, 2009 at 9:33 am
I ordered shoes on the internet, but they shipped them while I was out of town, and now they’ve been sent back and returned. Dammit Amazon!
July 23rd, 2009 at 7:55 pm
-”Was it intentional that the Public Hair booklet had a longass hair placed between the pages?”
ew, no it was not intentional, I’m just one of those bitches whose hair is all over the place. I know, it’s gross. But you now you have my DNA so maybe you can clone a cartoonist who isn’t such a fuck up
July 24th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY MOTHER FUCKING T-SHIRTS????????????
July 24th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
vincent needs to calm down
July 24th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
Good Goddamn Vince, go to a con, take a t-shirt and a big ass sharpie, show some support and love(droppin’ a twenty bomb never hurt) and maybe she’d oblige you…
July 25th, 2009 at 11:20 am
Hey Julia,
I just linked in from rescue archeology and I LOVE your strip and would definitely buy a t-shirt- especially if you have one of the image on your banner.
July 25th, 2009 at 12:36 pm
Seems his caps lock, shift, then question mark keys got stuck. What if he has no other shirt to wear? What if he was really screaming at the computer while making “Huff Huff” sounds? From now on other Vincent, I’m calling you Vitty-cent. So everyone ease off of Vitty-cent. He’s had a tough life on the streets, shirtless and all.

Kid’s these days are annoying. Why don’t they realize that swear words aren’t fun anymore if you don’t cultivate the forbiddenness of them.
July 26th, 2009 at 1:29 am
What’s wrong with kids these days? Parents these days.
July 26th, 2009 at 8:17 am
[...] This is pretty much my life every time I step away from the computer. [...]

The Cheetos analogy is apt; also, it’s not so much a “party” as you and a bunch of creepy guys who spend the whole night awkwardly hitting on you and sweating a lot, and your host is drunk to the point of incoherence and winds up yelling racial slurs and puking all over himself and you.
You leave, reeking of shame and vomit, vowing never to return, and yet before you know it you’re right back in there with the sweaty guys even though you damn well know better by now.
That is the Internet.
July 27th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
Went several times to your booth- didn’t see you. =/
Guy there said you hadn’t showed up yet and didn’t know when you would…
Goddamn it.
Met Johnny Ryan and the Hernandez Bros at the fantagraphics booth, so I wasn’t too dissapointed.
So in the end did you have fun in San Diego Wertz?
July 27th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
what’d you think of the rum i brought you?
July 28th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
FUCK
July 29th, 2009 at 11:39 am
Julia, I’ve decided to add you as a character in page 9 of my comic book. I hope you don’t mind, cuz I’m too lazy to redraw it. I know you’re not from West Virginia, but sometimes you look like you could be, so it’s pretty funny to me, at least.

July 29th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
yikes, actually I kinda do mind. It’s weird to put people you don’t know in comics, especially when they use the same one with autobio material. I have a sense of humor, but its MY sense of humor, so I’d prefer you didn’t use, well, me, in other comics.
July 29th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Fanfics FTL
The comic is basically nothing but “borrowed” characters and dialogue. It’s like Family Guy without Family Guy.
July 29th, 2009 at 4:51 pm
Damn you! Okay, I’ll redraw it. I should have asked first. But I suppose that’s what I’m doing. It’s not like it was printed yet.
But which autobio material? The stuff about the bag? It’s complete coincidence. The dialogue is directly lifted from the movie Silence of the Lambs.
Perhaps you should start a fan art section. That could be quite interesting. Keep up the good work. Sorry I missed you at Comic-Con.
July 29th, 2009 at 8:45 pm
Something about fancy pants using Wertz as a character like this is unsettling.
July 29th, 2009 at 11:51 pm
Julia, I just wanted to let you know that I discovered your site today and couldn’t stop reading until I finished all of the posted comics. They’re fantastic! Please post more soon! In the meantime, I’m going to order your books. Thanks for the great work!
July 30th, 2009 at 1:57 am
by autobio I mean that “character” you used is me, as in I exist in real life so it’s weird to be put into a fictional comic, see what I mean? I’m not mad, I’d just rather it didn’t exist
July 31st, 2009 at 9:19 am
And then creepy went to a new level with Fancy Pants using Silence of the Lambs dialog. It would have been funny if he had drawn you and him on a date at the olive garden. Maybe in a round about way, that was it.
August 8th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
yikes, fancy pants freaked me out, on so many levels. thank god i draw myself differently every 5 seconds so nobody could do that to me.
i have the same naked mole rat moment every time i leave the apartment.
November 30th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
I just squirted beer out of my nose after reading that third panel. My mom used to find me in my room clutching my Huggabunch dolls and hurling myself at the full length mirror on my closet door, over and over. I love your comics!
