PUBLICATIONS
My very first publication was not a biting feminist satire or heart-wrenching personal essay that I am certain left readers staring awestruck at their screens until they immediately called their mothers to give thanks for birthing them into a world where this essay exists (or so I have imagined in such detail that my therapist is growing concerned). No, it was instead a political cartoon that I submitted to the Chicago Tribune’s Tuesday section Kids News in 1998 at the tender age of 11, which details with incisive wit a frustration that I felt so acutely and was certain was universal. And after digging through the Trib archives to a backdrop of boredom and cursing, it is pictured for your amusement to the right.
Like I said, incisive.
You won’t find that kind of edge here because the internet simply couldn’t handle it, but the pieces below are still worth a read. Check ‘em out!
