This
is your cartoonist at age 12 or so. No, I did not shoplift
Bubble Yum. These were taken at my orthodontist’s office
prior to being fitted with braces. I was as miserable as I
looked.
My
teeth got straight, but memories of those days never left
me. And they were never far from the minds of my friends,
either. So over ten years ago I began this strip and solicited
stories from both my friends and total strangers. I may not
be the best cartoonist in the world, but I can draw a mean
cheap sneaker.
I
love the response my strip has received and I thank everyone
who has submitted a story. I must admit that your stories
really get to me sometimes. They shouldn’t, but they
do. That girl in those mug shots is never too far away.
