Anna Laura loves telling stories full of heart, optimism, and vulnerability in a range of different styles. Her goal is to publish comics that make people happy. Thanks for looking!

I hope you take the time to browse through each of these talented comics creators.

I'd love to be a professor someday and opportunities like this remind me why. Saddened that I couldn't get to return to SCAD for our critique but I'm looking forward to seeing them on Saturday!

QUICK Edit! Check out Jillian's art again!
