The first thing you should know about me is I love comics and I’ve been writing slice-of-life gag comics for over 20 years.
First inspired by newspaper funnies, and now scrolling through my Instagram feed I am in awe of a comic strip’s ability to feed us cool art and endless jokes. My comics are inspired by real life and my friends… but they’re not an autobiography.
Single Handed comes from a very special place in my heart.
In the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic at the ripe age of 34 I found myself living alone without a partner or a roommate for the first time in my life. And to my absolute surprise…. I LOVED IT! Adulting never felt so good… so free! With this joy in my heart I began to draw Lorette (short for Bachelorette)! Lorette is the embodiment of the joys of adulting. There are ups and downs but nothing beats the independence, freedom, silence, and surprisingly liberating opportunities for self-discovery quite like having a little bit of time to yourself.
My hope is that this little comic helps you look at your own life to see the hilarity and silliness of it all.
