Here’s the comic Mai Ly and I worked together. Mai Ly’s an A-mazing illustrator whose appetite for fairly darkly, sad stories mirrors my own (look for her at MICA this year!). And as M says, this is a true story. I believed my mother for years.
It is, I think, a (e)special genre of “lie”—the kind mothers tell their children to soften the blows.
Here’s a comic I did for a friend for her writing about comics class. (I love comics, but this is definitely my first attempt at one.) The story is about a little girl who’s mother lies to her about her dead pet bunny. When the girl goes to school, the mom goes to buy and new one and makes up a story explaining that the reason why the bunny isn’t brown anymore was because it was dirty. Apparently the girl believes this till college. It may be a bit confusing because it got a little cramped because we wanted to have the panels in picture frames to show past and present, and the format had to be a certain size and on one page, but over all I’m still happy with it.
