A Challenge!

I have never written a comic. One time I tried to draw a "Super Nanny" but she was so ugly I quit after one try.

Recently I've been thinking of creating a comic about Wes and I titled "The Adventures of Circle Face and Triangle Head," which consists of two heads with arms that stick out of them, and they talk and go about their day and I'm sure they would be hilarious. We went to a restaurant where you can draw on the table and that was my most successful attempt, but it got taken away by the bus boy and was presumably thrown in the trash.

I love Young American Comics - I think I first came across them at Comic-Con 2006, but I can't be sure. I've been sporting their "Support Indie Comics, You Dope" button on my purse for quite a long time, more recently signed up for their emails, and maybe if I try hard over the next 52 or so weeks I'll someday be in one of their group project books.

I think that their idea for the 52 Comic Challenges is awesome and gives me a reason to create. I'll make something that will be vaguely in the comic format every week or so. I'm already behind because I completely forgot when it started and didn't check back until I got their next email, but they're so cool they don't care when I start!

I was hoping to make something a little more substantial, but I guess I'll start off easy and work my way into awesomeness.

Here it is (oh man, I'm scared):
