JANE'S WORLD RULES!

One of my favorite people in the comics community is Paige Braddock, the creator of Jane's World, an Eisner-nominated humor comic that focuses on a sweet but clueless dyke and her eccentric cast of supporting characters. One of these characters is a gay cop named Rick... and since there's nothing more fun than illustrating a man in uniform (well, a man with no clothes at all, I suppose), I sent her a pin-up of Rick that's being printed in the upcoming Jane's World volume 7.

The same issue also features Rick telling Jane a story about downing a fertility potion that contains a cobra's heart, which Paige based on the autobiographical story from my mini-comic Swallowing a Cobra's Heart and Other True Travel Tales. It's funny to have one of my tales adapted in someone else's comic, after doing the same to so many other people's stories in the pages of both True Travel Tales and Hard To Swallow. Turnabout's fair play, I suppose... Regardless, everyone should pick up a copy of Jane's World to check out Paige's special brand of funny, engaging character drama.
