Dudes… thanks for the awesome compliments. This is a piece I wrote for a personal narrative class.

Have you ever considered submitting this as an article somewhere? Seriously, your autobiographical pieces are that good.

I have two very eloquently written rejection letters from The New Yorker. A prof had required we submit to them. ha ha.

Thanks for making me lightheaded, my little Jesus-footed friend!

I keep making these Jesus references, shuz! You’re getting edumacated on Christ.

Can’t say I’ve ever had nails in my soles, but I’ve had splinters in my ass. Actually, I wrote about that for English class a few years ago. I called it “A New Definition for the Word Porcupine”, I wanted to add “My ass” in paranthesis.

I totally agree with LE Bryce. They are good!
I wasn’t expecting that turn when I read that title. Strangely, that is how most of my female friends got started on comics. Quite a few ended up in the hospital for various reasons while a child and were given comics to help get them through that inactive period.

What a freaking powerful story — all the more for it being true.

Ugh. I can’t handle extremities. Show me guts hanging out of a stomach and I’m okay. Show me a hangnail and I’m going to pass out. Thanks for making me lightheaded, my little Jesus-footed friend!

Ouch! No nails or screws in my past, but I did end up with a toothpick through the meat of my big toe once. Anyway, great story and style.

I just wanna know how long you had to stay inside.

BTW, Bam, that new cover for the LS antho? is pretty… very, very.
