| The Worst $29.95 One Can Spend |

I'm actually working on a site for these, just very very slowly. I always forget how difficult it is to make something like a 'cast' page or an 'about' page that, in all likelihood, you'll never change from one year to the next so whatever you do has to be something you're fine with people seeing for longer than 'until I fix it'. |

I like making comics about fashion and I like making jokes about sports. Oh so great is my joy when I get to make a comic that combines the two!
Karlie Kloss is like a totally gorgeous human lollipop of fashion, and Sam Bradford has the most all-American name ever. How could this go wrong?
(n.b. scuttlebutt says Karlie's been a friend of his for a couple of years now and they always hang out when they're in town. But really, isn't it more fun to speculate wildly?) |

Today's wardrobe: Molly's top from missguided.co.uk; Jasmine's tank, Puma, and jacket, also Puma.
'Thinspiration' isn't an inherently bad thing. There are plenty of Thinspo communities out there that promote a good diet and healthy amounts of exercise in order to get your body to a size that you're happy with.
A girl wearing a shirt that says 'Nothing Tastes As Good As Skinny Feels' is not likely to be a member of one of these communities. She's part of the dark side of Thinspo; the 'starve yourself thin' school of weight loss.
I haven't seen the media freak out about Fatspiration in the same way as they keep throwing shit-fits over Thinspiration, but it's entirely possible that's because newspapers sell more copies when they run pictures of thin teenagers you're supposed to be concerned about than when they run pictures of fat teenagers. |

Today's wardrobe: replica Hunger Games training top, available Amazon.com; 'Team Bezukhov' t-shirt, sadly unavailable. I love the idea of Russians going around during the serialisation of 'War and Peace' sporting 'Team Bezukhov'/'Team Bolkonsky' shirts.
I enjoyed both 'The Hunger Games' and 'War and Peace', though War and Peace took me 103 days to read compared to the four hours it took me to read The Hunger Games.
Also, 'preparing oneself spiritually' in my case meant 'sipping a glass of vodka while reading'. |

Twitter: little e-mails that everyone can see.
The weird thing about working in three panels instead of whole pages is the amount of editing you have to do, which includes implying a wider story that is happening instead of just having jokes occur in a vacuum. At least, that was my logic for why the subject would ever have got around to Jasmine not having seen Avatar.
I should start drawing jewellery in these strips. I don't quite buy Jasmine putting on a full face of makeup but not having on so much as a ring or a bangle. |

This is not intended to be an accurate portrayal of the exciting world of Guernsey.
It is, however, intended to be an accurate portrayal of a working model at Paris Fashion Week. |

There once was a model named Deyn
Who told people she was fourteen
When they found out she lied
'Foul play!' they all cried
But she still made plenty of green
(If 'Deyn' isn't pronounced as a homonym of 'Dean', this limerick rather falls apart.) |

Sometimes things seem really funny when you think them up. Over the next ten hours of making a comic out of them... less so. |
