Oldiesmann: Interesting to see they're bring Wilbur Wilkin back from the dead again. I remember them making a big deal of it when they suddenly decided he was Jughead's cousin years ago - only for him to vanish again, much like Jellybean

Oldiesmann: I miss the days of floppies with there or four new stories each. I'll take that over digests any day

Tuxedo Mark: How absolutely pathetic. Five items, three of which are entirely reprints. Only two new 5-page stories for the entire month. Only two of the four "main" digests. And the story in the girls' digest features Bingo and Pureheart.

I'm pretty sure that her blog title is just an effort at being ironic.

By the way, her latest "Squirrel Girl" issue (#7, which came out Wednesday) is pretty fun. It's a "choose your own adventure"-style comic book issue. :)

I'm not the biggest Erica fan, but of course you're right.  To me, it's obvious.

Well, she's a success (at least currently) as an artist, in terms of having "made it" as professional (apart from any artistic critiques), but that doesn't necessarily tell you anything about the "life" part. I can think of a number of successful (in career terms) artists who nevertheless had other problems with their lives. In fact, it's almost a cliche that people of an artistic temperament don't always get along smoothly in life. None of us here know her at any rate, so who can say what she is or isn't being ironic about.

I think you're reading too much into the name of her blog.

Either way, she's an adult. She has the power to find the right therapist or life coach to help her work through her life failures...

Mr.Lodge

Her 'talent' as an artist can be very much up to debate, but she was all wrong for the Archie style. Her talent is drawing squirrels.  :)

joniniowacity

Which is true. She's a good fit for Squirrel Girl.

Could be. In my own defense though, I have to say it's not the kind of thing I'd normally even be pondering if she hadn't thrown it out there. First impressions and all that.

I like her Jughead & Archie & Reggie & Betty. But I can't wait to see Derek Charm do those 2 issues. I never seen his style before. His covers for Jughead are great. I do follow Erica & Derek on Twitter.
