Liliane talked about online
- January 2005! Utne Reader's Jan/Feb 2005 issue has a feature by Chris Dodge on alternative cartoonists, Up from Underground that has a whole page on me! wow! Unfortunately to read the article online you have to pay a fee. I recommend rushing out to your friendly magazine stand and picking up a copy while it is still on the stands, since it is an excellent magazine, and you'll want to check out the other featured cartoonists as well.
- January 2005! Natalie Suarez has written a review of my third book, "Don't be a Crotte!", at her site "Just Hatched Book Reviews". Natalie also edits a zine called The Naughty Hamster monthly!. There is a page of my comics in the latest issue, which is, um Issue #1!!
