At the time of the event, I wasn't really considering exactly what the strips were going to be about, but I knew I was going to be making strips. I mean, I kinda HAVE to considering what this comic is about. lol So, in meeting all these amazing creators, I didn't think to ask if I COULD tell those stories in the strip. And honestly, if I HAD thought of it, I highly doubt I would have had the nerve to have asked.

I'm very much in the "anti-car culture" camp and find cars to be one of the worst aspects of living in any city (especially in Philly in the summer). It seems early cartoonists often depicted cars as machines of death around their general introduction into our shared public spaces. (I've amassed a rather large collection of these anti-car cartoons, this one from Punch being just one example.) Here's some car facts from a recent study from the Journal of Transport Geography: 1) 1 in 34 deaths are caused by cars and automobility with 1,670,000 deaths per year 2) Cars and automobility have killed 60–80 million people since their invention

Heidi and I met Tauhid Bondia, creator of the AMAZING comic strip CRABGRASS, at the CXC convention in Ohio last year and have been friends online prior. In the lead-up to all this, after both getting nominations in different categories, we may have had a conversation or two expressing... anxiety. When this happened almost exactly as depicted here, I KNEW I was going to have to get his very generous permission to make a strip out of it. Also, Lynn Johnston is, in fact, AWESOME!

This office may have been known to the newspaper staff as "the chamber of horrors," but that didn't stop the illustrator Winsor McCay from sporting a boater hat, ca. 1920. The paper was the NY Journal American, owned by William Randolph Hearst. McCay is best known for the paper's Sunday color newspaper cartoon, Little Nemo in Slumberland, and the animated film short Gertie the Trained Dinosaur. Sports page cartoonist Joe McGurk is in the center; the other man unidentified.
