If you’ve gotten fan mail back, it’s my fault. I failed to keep my PO box paid up, and I know some people got mail back. I’m really sorry! Feel free to send stuff along to the new address: Dana Simpson PO Box 6347 Santa Barbara, CA 93160-6347 Again, I’m really sorry for the inconvenience! […]
So the Today Show had Amazon.com list some summer reading books for young reluctant readers. I’m #8! I’m almost more excited that Breaking Cat News, by my friend Georgia Dunn, is #2. Go Georgia! Go kitties! Read more →
It had been a little while since I actually won an award, though I’ve been nominated a few times. This time, kids did the voting! Phoebe was voted “Bravest Hero” (For The Magic Storm) at the Kids’ Comics Awards, at the Ann Arbor Comic Arts Festival. (Which, by the way, I should attend some time. […]
I’ll be returning to C&P Coffee Co. in West Seattle, for Words West Literary’s kids’ night. I’ll be reading some selections from various “Phoebe and Her Unicorn” books. It’ll be me and Suzanne Selfors. Last time it was fun! Starts at 6. Read more →
One child, anyway. A little girl named Katy, in Massachussetts. She wrote a letter to her local paper, the Daily Hampshire Gazette, asking them to please pick up ‘Phoebe and Her Unicorn.’ Not only did they, but they let her ask me some interview questions. And she really nailed it. Read about it here! […]
Did you catch the reveal of Max’s parents in this week’s strips? I’ve actually known all along that Max has lesbian parents. I’ve been waiting for years for it to come up organically. And it actually did in the forthcoming Phoebe and Her Unicorn In: The Magic Storm, which is due out in October. So […]
SLJ’s Brigid Alverson interviewed me for a great article about LGBTQ representation in comics. I’m quoted in the article, but I said a lot more, and apparently it was interesting enough that she also published the whole interview. Read more →
This is still conservative bashing. Republicans are apparently doing everything wrong. Democrats are the RIGHT ones, they just need to get up and do it!
While of course not supporting personal attacks, i do have to agree with the sentiment I imagine Pyre was expressing.
The many, and rather repetitive, comments posted by Bellomy have been gnawing on my patience. Not unlike someone talking at the theater, possibly berating the movie or its makers.
Not to dive in to the snake pit of arguing about freedom of expression, I merely wish to state that it has had a negative impact on my enjoyment of this comic. And I estimate many others to feel the same.
The fact that you interpret anything that’s not wholehearted support for the right wing as some sort of attack pretty much cuts the bottom out of your argument.
Ironically, that’s pretty much the impression I always got of Bush. The problem there being that a president really shouldn’t just be along for the ride.

Not impressed, but nice try.
[Removed due to personal attacks — Orv]
Please keep things civil. Political debate is okay, personal attacks are not.

Fun thing: yes, Bellomy, you’re completely right. In this one comment.
Oh boo hoo. If you believe and/or do certain things, you DESERVE to be verbally bashed at the very least.
One can’t help but wonder Bell: If you’re so offended, why are you even bothering to read this strip since you seemingly get no enjoyment out of it?
Defensive much?

Seriously? No. This is not anti-republican. Just calm down, and realise that not everyone is persecuting you.
Hear hear!
Well, I’d prefer people too dumb to actually do anything over those who are actively malicious. That way they stay out of your hair.

I just ignore Bellomy.
After all the Bush bashing, it only seems fair that she took a shot at the other side.
