Hammes, Mary Jessica – All-True Sometimes

Website

All-True Sometimes Now Available! $2

Why don’t more people do the daily (or weekly, whatever) bio strips? Is it just because newspapers don’t want them and, if so, what difference does that make when everybody alive has their own website? Just curiou. This is a collection of strips, mostly true (judging by the title, anyway) about a variety of things. chopping trees, Sleepy Town USA, bagels, Duran Duran, getting older, joke time, sickness, bug karma, Petey the Unicorn, sweet tea, boys, Atkins, cheap holliday gifts, and apples on a roller coaster. Random enough for you? They’re not all fantastic, but enough of them are good to make this worth your time. Contact info is up there, let’s say this one is $2!
