Update: Featured Artist on She Explores Podcast

Update: I’ve been taking a cartooning break to travel and visit family. I’ll be back, recharged, with more cartoons soon.

This week, I’m honored to be a featured artist in the latest episode of She Explores, a beautifully produced podcast about women, creativity, and the outdoors, created by Gale Straub. The episode follows the intrepid Granite Gals on their hiking adventures on rugged trails of New Hampshire.

• @cartoonconnie: "We're all seeking to understand ourselves better and so cartooning was my process. I didn't know how to be a cartoonist, so when I started I just said it's now or never." In the midroll of this week's episode of She Explores, we talk with @cartoonconnie about how she got started drawing a daily comic and why anyone can do it. Listen at 11:39 of Episode 59, linked in our profile and wherever you listen to podcasts! | @cartoonconnie #sheexplorespodcast

The episode is out and available on Apple Podcasts, GooglePlay, basically wherever you listen to podcasts :)

We Are Home

TFW nothing comes close to expressing your second generation Asian-American identity than a superhero action movie about African-American identity. 

One world, one love. Thank you Ryan Coogler and all the amazing people who made Black Panther #WakandaForever


** Update: I'm pausing daily cartooning for a couple of weeks to travel and see family. (Announcement, ICYMI.) I'll be posting travel sketches and comics on my Instagram page. Thanks for reading and for all your support. 

Learning the Hard Way

- that there isn't an easier way, really.

Sometimes Life Fills in the Rest

And you have to let it.

(Announcement, ICYMI.)

Future Self to Younger Self

I hate you, future self. ;)

Yay Adulthood

Who else?

The Unbearable Interdependence of Being

It's really annoying, too.

Pep Talk, Aging Brain

That voice in your head that says, "You should do more with your life."

What a jerk ;)

Harder to be Wrong

It takes a lot more strength to be wrong than it is to be right.

A.I. Overtakes Humanity

This is what I imagine the bots to look like.

Not That It Was Perfect

But - levels. We didn't have to do "active shooter drills."

Doesn't Mean You Should Quit

We're far from perfect, but it doesn't mean you should stop living, loving, or being you.

When Time Is Not Promised

What we do.

In Which I Celebrate Being Single and Awesome

:)

Before and After Picture, Heartbreak

Younger self, you disgust me -

How Everyone Feels

Applies to family of all kinds, chosen or by birth.

Oops, Can I Get a Pass?

Excuse me for the next two weeks. I'm very tired.
