My friends (Clint & Luke) have a comic book they’ve been working on forever and a year ago they asked if I’d mind my writing gracing the back pages of their series, Taroch (which is brilliant – and I’d say that even if I didn’t already love them). They sent me the latest issue and it’s just as fabulous as the last, plus I have a new comic panel right after a story about the most amazing zombie fighting transvestive ever. In short, you should buy this comic. But in case you can’t afford to support struggling, young artists but still want to see what they can do, they let me post my panel here.
(FYI…I’m not being compensated in any way whatsoever for this. I just happen to adore them.)
PS. They’ll be signing copies at the London Super ComicCon this weekend. If you’re there, say hi. And dress up as me. Because technically I just became a recurring comic book character.
Life is weird.

Insomnia sucks. I’ve blogged about this recently, as I couldn’t sleep: http://heinakroon.com/2012/01/28/to-sleep-and-perchance-to-dream/

I won’t be there, but love the comic. And can relate. In my life I often feel like a comic book character… Or a less smart Big Bang Theory character… Or a Knots Landing character… Or Garfield… where’s that damn lasagna?

Ziploc bags are awesome as walking cat-water-beds. I am sure this would work out exactly as planned.
Can you design a diaper for old cats with pee-butt? (getting a little something left in their hair)
Sorry for the double comment – I got a little too excited to be first.
But seriously. The diaper thing. Ziplog bag tied with string? Self-washing? Too gross? I have the flu sorry, it melts my brain.

Fantastic! I may pop by said Comicon.
Also – jealous of said comic book immortalisation. I am inspired to make one of my own now.

AWESOME. And yes, insomnia sucks. Sucks worse when every other floorboard in your old house creaks, plus the cats go nuts and meow, so you can’t actually do anything for fear of waking up the other person who IS sleeping mostly peacefully.
The couch has become my buddy from 12am-3am.

Wow, you’re a comic book heroine! I’m so jealous. Now I’m concerned that I spelled “heroine” wrong, and I’m a proofreader.
Did your doc really rx roofies?? As a fellow insomniac, I’d love to know whether they worked. Like do you get REFRESHING sleep on the date rape drug? (Assuming you have NOT been assaulted, I mean.)
Also, it’s probably just me but I don’t understand what the boar is doing to the papers in your hand.
(It was actually Rozerem, but it felt pretty similar to me. And I’m grushing James Garfield’s teeth in that panel.~ Jenny)

Ferris Mewler has condoms on his feet, doesn’t he? That seems so fitting for some reason.
Isn’t it fitting that I sit reading this at 2:55am (local time)…
Perhaps you may have truly stumbled on to the cure for BOREDOM during insomnia.
Hmmmm…. ziplock bags – check. Water – check. Masking tape – check. Cat – um… uh…
Perhaps I need to buy a cat to make water-bed-socks for.
Seriously though – I love the strip.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I have insomnia too, but usually I make clothes for psycho comic book people, so maybe we get together and we make you a super hero insomnia costume!
Let’s see it needs a pillow helmet, a mattress for the cape, and rubber duckies all over the spandex unitard!

I used to have insomnia, then I became an alcoholic which meant I had to drink more so I could forget all the Dumbass things I did the last time I got drunk, which was keeping me awake even longer. I’m sober now, so I sleep with cats on the bed. Being a comic character would have been more entertaining. Congrats!
This is awesome. I would totally buy a graphic novel based on your life.
Rachel B recently posted..Wolverines Are Kind Of Jerks But Vampires Are Ok
I was so fixated on James Garfield that I didn’t even see Victor lying in the bed. My first reaction was “Wow, when did she have a voice box installed in James Garfield??? That’s Awesome!”. I was actually a little disappointed when I realized that Victor was there, because having that conversation with a dead boar would be totally in line with the insomnia issue!
That’s just a whole new level of coolness you have achieved!
Love it! BTW, Amazon is sending me spam email to all my accounts telling me I need to buy some book called. Let’s Pretend This Never Happened. Ever heard of it?

Also, condoms on the cat feet, very nice touch. I originally thought they were ziploc bags but then saw the “tips” on them and figured out they were condoms.
Brushing James Garfield’s teeth is awesome, too. Wouldn’t want to have to deal with THAT morning breath!
MsDarkstar recently posted..Chasing My Tail
I tried to explain to James who you are and why I adore you and when I got to the part about the taxidermied animals he said “you lost me there” I didn’t need the backstory on the boar’s head I just accepted it as part of who you are. Of course now that I know the backstory it makes me adore you even more!

I used to think that I had basic insomnia, turns out I have something called Non-24 (Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder – Free Running Type in medical speak). As soon as I stopped trying to sleep on a 24 hour schedule and just waited until I was actually sleepy to go to bed, I was fine. Slept like a baby for eight or nine hours and woke bright eyed and bushy tailed. Of course, my interaction with the rest of the 24-hour centric world became much more complicated.

(Yeah, right.)
Who came up with the idea that we should all sleep at the same time? That there’s a normal time to sleep and a normal time to be awake?
I don’t like that rule.

The boar’s head looks surprised when you walk in, but calm after having his teeth brushed. Is that how you keep all of your taxidermied animals calm?

I suffered insomia my entire adult life, like 30 years. I’d tried everything. Then my newest primary care physician prescribed Tazanidine and Mirtazipine and I take one of each every night.

LOVE the comic!! I’m jealous. Not in an I hate you kind of way, but in an I wish I was as awesome as you are. Kind of way!
Hilarious! One of the best comic book panels I’ve read!

I told my cats about the waterbed idea and they’re very into it. I will get some supplies today and make one while I can’t sleep tonight.

Wow. From what I’ve read, they got your characters pretty well!
…but why are you just on the back cover? Where’s your own comic-book series?

Totally awesome comic strip… also oddly familiar. I believe my husband and I had this conversation yesterday, outside of the dentist’s office. But it was about Ambien. And date rape. Now I know people are spying on me…
Hahahaaaaaaaaaaaa this is awesome.

I hope someone there is going to take photos of all the yous. That’d be something to see. A whole flock of Jennys in one place.

Wait, do you actually brush James Garfield’s teeth every night before going to bed? Because really, I would think a brushing a year would do it. It’s not like he gnawing on things when you aren’t around. … Or is he?
The end.
Those suxorz people are smoking crack. How could they possibly think that you were in any way at fault. Way to blame the victim for standing up for herself, suxorz.
That is SO AWESOME!
And do you wear PJ’s to your dr appts all the time? I think that would so great to wear PJ’s to the dr…. and to say, work….. I mean really why not? HR people hate me….
Your humor is expressed perfectly in comic form!!! Actually, it would be best in first-hand form, but since I don’t live with you, comic form will do. Wait, I just had an idea. What about a sitcom?
I always wondered what to do with all that extra time insomnia provides, and now I know…
Also, does it get uncomfortable wearing your hair in rollers all the time? Maybe you should put James Garfield’s hair in rollers – just to mix it up a little. I think he’d like that.

Very cute. You are funny in real life AND in comic strip form. That’s a talent!
You have officially went global. Get those Robotigers. STAT.
omg. love it.
I’m pretty sure I would have looked a lot less happy if I were the one plotting Victor’s demise. Congrats on signing all of those! I’m sorry – I love you to pieces, but I am a poor graduate student, so as much as I want to buy a hardcover and as hard as I’m going to try to steal your book from the library, I might have to wait for a paperback. Nobody tell me anything about this book until I get to read it!
Or I will plot your demise.

Yes insommnia is evil, and cat content rulz.
Lol!
Umm… I’m pretty sure Victor doesn’t look like that. I’m almost positive he has a handle-bar mustache.
Also?
Ummm… who’s your doctor?
(I may or may not be totally out of roofies.)
Very good, but they didn’t make you pretty enough!
Actually Garfield is now a recurring character as well… and he looks so natural just hanging out in the background… I bey Juanita is feeling pretty neglected. Sure hope they get her in on the next one!
So I guess this makes you a super hero because we all know they only write comic books about super hero’s, right?

I LOVE that you were wearing curlers and pajamas to your appointment. The little baggies on the cat’s feet were hysterical too! Hats off to Clint and Luke!!

Great cartoon. Love it!
That may be the most brilliant thing I’ve seen in a while. I know this feeling all too well. I started taking Ambien and my then boyfriend caught me getting my keys out of my purse so I could go buy paint at Walmart in my pajamas. The first night I took it, I saw Humphrey Bogart sitting at a tiki bar in my bedroom, then the paint thing happened, and then right after that, I apparently washed my hair while being chased by Russian spies. Ah, drugs.
