Serena






This is, I'm pretty sure, my most recent comic to date in the minicomic form.

The 1st ed. was printed on grey cardstock, 29 copies, Feb. 22, 2004.

The 1st Danger Room Reprint Ed. in July 2005 had 5 copies on blue cardstock.

For some weird reason I am frequently in the jury selection pool here in Grays Harbor County. For years they used to start the proceedings with a video starring Raymond Burr. Strange.

Serena was inspired by a septic tank-sized depression forming in the backyard of a friend. This comic was drawn with #1 lead pencil in a very tiny size, enlarged, and then the enlargements were detailed. The fact that the boyfriend is pictured as an unchanging prop as if made out of plywood is no accident.
