Another New Year Begins

Who are Hope & Harry?

Home-hopenharry

Hope and Harry is a semi-autobiographical comic about my family. Hope is a lot like me, except probably better, kinder, and more patient. Harry is a lot like my husband, except not quite as funny or good looking. Hope and Harry have two daughters and a cat just like my husband and I do, and many of the things that happen to them are based loosely on things that actually happen to our kids, their friends, our family friends or more often than I would like to admit, just made up by our family over dinner.

Hope and Harry is a comic that really celebrates the lives of families and the funny and strange things that happen to them. It’s all about busy schedules, unpredictable pets, unexpected catastrophes and the world of children’s imagination. I hope you will stop by for a coffee and a cookie and be ready to listen to Claire and Piper tell you all about their latest adventure.

A New Year Begins

Classes start today and last week was orientation. This is my first time seeing the beginning of the new year from the administration side of the University instead of the student side and so far it's been pretty different.

I'm not sure how different our students are this year from last, but they made me laugh a lot during orientation, so I'm hoping that's a good sign!

This comic features a number of Calgary Comic Expo cameos. In the thrid panel is Chloe and her boyfriend (he was a boy and seemed friendly) Micheal in his Comic Expo mask decorating her shirt. In the fourth Panel is Emma who was dressed as Cruella deVille at comic expo. And the fifth panel is Santana.... Sorry that these rentitions of you are probably even worse than the bad portraits I did of you at Comic Expo. But I did promise they would be bad!

Speaking of new classes if you happen to live in the Calgary Area my new class "Making Comics: Theory and Practice" is being offered through continuing education. Come on out and make comics with us!
