Click on that cute little panel to read a new 3-page comic on my website. This was originally drawn for the EVIL issue of ALWAYS COMIX, but I hated it at the time and didn't finish it, then I found it under a pile of other unfinished comics on my desk and I decided to ink the mofo, and y'know what? Now I kinda like the little bugger. I have a plethora of unfinished submissions to ALWAYS COMIX, hopefully Sally Bloodbath doesn't hate me.

Hello dudes and lady dudes,
I am offering a new service for your enjoyment, here is the press release from my webstore
New for the 2009 holiday season: customized greeting cards! For a measly $10 I will go to the store, pick out a cheesy hallmark card, customize it with a personalized drawing, and send it to the recipient of your choice. For no extra charge I will make sure they know it’s from you, and you’ll get all the credit. Your friends and family will never feel more loved then when they get a card in the mail from a famous (not really famous) comics celebrity! It’s the perfect gift for thanksgiving, Hanukkah, birthdays, and any other card-giving occasion. Please email me (lizprincepower(at)hotmail.com)after ordering to let me know who the card is going to, and if you have any special requests (sorry, I will not do portraits at this time, all greetings will involve a drawing of myself in some way).
Yeah guys! You can send your friends greeting cards from Liz Prince! I look forward to saying hello to strangers via the time honoured tradition of paper mail.

I realize that I spelled "referred" wrong in the first panel, but it wasn't until I had already spent a lot of time cleaning this comic up in photoshop, so I figured you guys could let it slide. THX.

Ok, so I try not provide commentary on my comics, but this is a tricky one, because although I did read Twilight (and thought is was so vapid that I don't think I can go through the other 3 in the "saga"), and I did buy a flowery candy bar while on the rag, and I did actually have that thought about kissing Edward Cullen, it was all in the most sarcastic way possible. That's all I really have to say in my defense.

Dear readers,
I am sorry to have neglected my internet duties for so long. This comic is about how I have been suffering from writer's block for the last few months, which finally broke this weekend and I got a good handful of strips drawn, and did some work on longer projects that have been stalled. I hope to increase my posting frequency, so let's consider this the beginning of a renewed dedication to blogging!
Yours truly,
Lizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I absolutely detest the Metro as a newspaper (with the exception that for a hot second they were running the Swedish comic strip Rocky, before they realized how racy it was; and the last time I checked they were running Hutch Owen, which is cool), so I was not surprised to see over someone's shoulder this morning a headline that read "Study: Organics not really better for you" with a sub caption informing everyone to stop buying Organic and save their money ("If you’re buying organic, save your money. A new study shows organic food is no better for you than regular food."). The article is short, but sites a study done in the UK that shows that Organic food is not significantly more nutritious than what they called "regular food". Huh. Here is the metro article:
http://www.metro.us/us/article/2009/07/30/02/3605-82/index.xml
Top-notch sensational journalism.
To find the real news, you have to go the Times UK website:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article6732520.ece
which states that there were no studies of the effects of pesticides or chemicals, they were merely comparing the level of nutrients in Organically farmed and conventionally grown produce, which, apparently across the board, proved to be higher in Organic food, but not at a level that would be beneficial to the general public. Additionally, the study seems to be controversial abroad, and is being criticized for preempting a study that is finding that Organic food has higher levels of antioxidants. There are also accounts that Organic food flat out tastes better.
So why does the Metro have an article telling people to stop buying Organic food?
I don't normally get on a soap box about my political beliefs, but in this case, I will make an exception, as I feel that a lot of what is wrong with our country ethically tends to show itself most blatantly in our commercialized food industry. It takes advantage of consumers, the government, it's employees, and our natural resources, and gives almost nothing back. To me buying Organic is not about nutrition, but about trying to contribute to the industry that is quite obviously the lesser of, what some could claim, are two evils.
And then I see a headline like the one in the Metro today, and I get that sinking-in-my-gut-feeling of utter hopelessness, knowing that, for the "general public", a headline like that could likely convince them to stop buying Organic. Of course, I realize that not everyone reads the Metro, and that not everyone believes what is reported in the Metro if they do read it, and who's to say that anyone readin the Metro buys Organic food anyway, but I can only imagine that other national news sources will have a field day with this, and that industrial farming industry will exploit these findings to the end that they can claim they are "as healthy" as Organic, despite the fact the study really didn't address the chemical alterations of conventionally grown food at all.
That's all I really have to say: that I think it's unfair that articles are allowed to make broad general statements and leave out important issues, and that it makes me feel like crawling into bed, never to come out.

Again, Justin without tattoos, because I drew these at the same time, and apparently I was brain dead.

[23 Jul 2009|11:45am] |
Remember Hourly Comics day waaaaaayyyy back in February? Well, I participated by drawing a 3 panel strip for every hour of the day, including the ones when I was asleep, but I didn't finish it until a few days ago. Better late than never, right? To view all 24 strips from February 1st, 2009, simply click the comic below, kicking things off at 12am!
My comics cross paths with Maris Wicks' hourly comics
psst: the comic is at the bottom of the page under UNPUBLISHED WORK, titled "Hourly comic 2009"

OMG, it's Wednesday. I bet you want to go your local comic book store and pick up the aptly named Wednesday Comics, the new weekly DC project that features one page stories about all your favourite superheroes for 12 whole issues! And maybe you don't know that Joe Quinones is your new favourite comic artist, but you will once you see his ridiculously beautiful Green Lantern story, written by motherfucking legend Kurt Busiek.
Yes I know, this comic sells itself, but in case you needed extra prodding, here is a panel of said Green Lantern comic featuring yours truly as a sexy vixen
sexy. buy it.
