Quit While You're Ahead

A word to the wise ;)

Food is Home

Back in NYC, rested and well-fed. Thanks to my CA family and friends for the love.

Right Back Where I Started From

I'm taking a short cartooning hiatus to visit my family in CA. Back in a week. Thanks, everyone, for continuing to read my blog. Means a lot :)

For this cartoon to work, you need to know that I'm a short Asian woman.

(* Please excuse the hand "typos" - I was scrambling to catch my flight!)
