Great post, Rina! Visually, Lou kinda reminds me of a young Woody Allen! LOL Good luck with pitches! I'm sure Velia is going to find a home and I can't wait to buy the book and read!!

Thanks, Sandra. And yes, the thought has crossed my mind that he does look a teeny bit like Woody Allen! Purely by accident:)

Count me in as someone who remembers "Velia"! Looking forward to the new comics featuring her. Hope you can get it picked up, let us know how that works out!

I'm wondering if you are also gonna take the self-publishing route if it comes down to it. A lot of cartoonists are doing that and reach their readers that way (myself included with my comics). Self-publishing has gotten more accessible as of late, especially with print-on-demand.

(on a related note, will "Tina's Groove" be collected in more books? Loved the strip)

Yes, I’m totally going to consider self publishing — that’s not an impossibility! As for Tina, thank you for the kind words, but I don’t think I’ll be collecting the strip in new books. Thanks for asking, though!
