Above is a manifesto I wrote in 2017. Since writing this manifesto, I had a book published and was nominated for a new comer award at San Diego Comic Con.

Since this manifesto, my book had only one print run, and despite my accolades, my agent never got me any more work.

As much as it tears at my flesh and my heart and refuses to love me back, I am a cartoonist. As much as I try to bury it, the way I felt when I wrote this manifesto still claws its way to the surface. I'm trying to find that fun and that love again, and I'm going to find it no matter how many times I go down.

Comics forever and ever

Love, Sissy
