Sometimes the best thing about theater is seeing your friend kill a role.
Theater
February 1st, 2017
There were days in February where I was a blank. Where my notes read things like “I worked. I can’t remember anything else.”
Since it was grief at losing my Mother that had me so disconnected, I decided to write about my memories of her on those days.
This is from a trip to “The Beach” in North Carolina when I was a child of about 10 or 12. I made the long drive into a game, talking about Star Trek and deciding what each thing in the car and on the road related to. It was just Mom and I and she laughed and played along, participating in my silliness and encouraging my nerdy passions.
I miss all the ways we laughed. I miss my Mom.

This is the only solid evidence that exists of the dance number I had in a show once.
It cut was for the good of the show (I actually agree with the change – the show was way too long), dancing is … no my forte so getting good at this meant I put in an absolute ton of work. But I still had those moments in front of the cast and with my dance partner, and I’ll always treasure those.

This is still one of the best jokes I’ve ever made. Full stop.
Jon Hamm
The first comic I made for this project. I was still living in Chicago and had no idea how I was going to go about this project yet. I just knew I loved American Splendor and American Elf for their honesty and their sheer volume of work and experiences.
So here’s a weird dream I had. Click the link to see the rest of the comic.
Day One
The very first daily comic I published. The one that started this whole crazy project.

We are always super professional backstage.

Rehearsal goodness.

After doing a show for the first time in ages, I’m reflecting on what theater means to me. Here’s a comic about how it changed my life.
