Haha. “Almost a real woman” is exactly how I feel about myself. Someone referred to me as an adult for the first time the other day and I was like “Oh yeah, I forgot about the fact that I crossed into the threshold of adulthood or something like that.”
The line from Fight Club that’s something to the effect of “I’m not a man, I’m a 30-year old boy,” sums me up pretty alarmingly well… especially considering I’m even less of an adult than the narrator of that book… though also (fortunately?) less insane.
and Oliver: that doesn’t *necessarily* create a paradox does it? as long as she remembers to come back in time to tell herself that. or something. i dunno, time travel stories make my head hurt.
If I could visit my past, I’d go back to 5th grade and say to me, “Don’t worry. Sure you’ll still be this tall at 37 but…aw fuck it, dude you’re a giant hobbit.”
“You’ll be almost a real woman?” Yeah, like those are comforting words. Clearly, Future-you traumatised Past-you and that’s why Past-you grew up to be Future-you, who went back in time to…ooh, time-travel paradox!
i always wonder what my younger selves would think of my 30 year old self today.
for some reason i think i’m more true to the ten year old me then to the 15 or 20 year old me.
i still buy gi joe’s and comics.
only now i get drunk too!
at 15/20 it was all sepultura and girls.
i’m over that shit now.
I just now, JUST NOW, after reading both Fart Party books and this entire site, not to mention I Saw You…, got that “Fart Party” is a joke misspelling of “Frat Party.” JUST NOW. I feel like the smartest dumb person in the world.
Little kid me would high five me. I’m certain. Additionally my boyfriend told me I’m the first “grown up” he’s dated. I’m no sure what that means. I hope he’s not a pedophile…
Yeah, when I told my wife my brilliant observation, she was like, “Julia explained why she called it the Fart Party, and that’s not the reason.” And checking the Q&A I now see the real reason. So now I feel like the dumbest dumb person in the world.
But I’m glad you think my idea makes sense though. Also glad you dislike frats.

I feel like younger me would offer me a lot more than I would him. Like, part of his substantial allowance when I threatened him. Or a ride in his still-functional car.
I guess it’s a rather idiotic thing to say, but I feel just like you all the time. Our lives are so simmilar. And reading your comics just make me feel things aren’t so hopeless, or dull. You seem to be a great person, with a normal life, nice sense of humor and intelligence. I don’t have it all, but at least reading your comics make me feel better.

Someday you’ll get to travel back in time and create a paradox!

Don’t feel so bad. I skipped the real man stage and went straight to middle age with a little tupperware thing to keep track of each day’s pills.

Awwww that’s kinda cute in a really sad way! :’(
April 15th, 2010 at 8:16 am
I’d definitely tell myself to keep my tallywhacker out of certain places.. that’s for sure.

Julia, you are every bit as real as any of my friends that are inked in black & white.

if that was the intention, no one bothered to mention it to me either. But I guess it makes sense, I dislike both farts and frats equally
April 16th, 2010 at 10:38 am
I think you may have just made things worse…
April 16th, 2010 at 11:59 am
i would totally freak myself out if i went back in time and saw myself lol

Holy time magazine interview!
April 17th, 2010 at 11:05 am
I tell myself this constantly.

i love watching GI Joe, both the cartoon series and the movie. I am hoping that they would make a sequel. ‘

i wish little me would pay me a visit now…see what she thinks of what we’ve become

There is no way I would go back to being “little me” unless I could take my “Big Me” brain!

For the record Miss Julia I have looked at your pics on the web and read your site, You seem like A Real Woman to me, no almost invloved.

Are you going to make an appearance at comic con? Last year you wouldn’t show up at your booth =/
June 8th, 2010 at 11:55 am
I’d say “Margaret likes you — and when she’s 42 she’ll be every bit as foxy.”
June 14th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
come back! when will this site go on?
September 13th, 2010 at 2:23 am
And now this comic makes sense.
