American Elf Tribute by Alison Bechdel. This ran in the letters section our local paper, Seven Days, after I brought my long running diary comic strip to an end. I was very flattered… I love her work, too!
Jocelyn MacKenzie wrote a song about me in tribute to my comic strip American Elf, and the local paper wrote about it. You can hear the song here.
For the last decade my comic strip American Elf has run in my local weekly paper, Seven Days. I drew it as a daily, and picked three strips each week to use in the newspaper. Now of course, American Elf has ended. I quit drawing it on December 31 but the last strip appeared in the paper this week, actually. If the strip meant something to you over the years, why not write a letter to editor, expressing yourself! Thanks.
(A new strip by me starts in the paper next week.)
I’m told I have a small cameo in this movie, Cartoon College. It will play in my town, Burlington, VT, if enough people pre-order tickets.
