Mama Dots…

Because who can really tell in a hand-drawn comic, what is a nipple and what is a circle? The censors at Facebook think they know, but do they really?

if you are a former member of my site and are having trouble signing up again, know that you aren’t alone. I have numerous friends sitting in wait for my tech support guy to give me the correct ‘patch’ to get that situation solved. Please, have a seat in my waiting room, perhaps a cup of coffee and a magazine as you while away the time, actually this would be  a great time to nurse, my waiting room has rocking chairs and delightful conversation, make yourself at home.

xox,

Heather

 

 

 

 

The Best Breastfeeding Comic of 2011!

| admin

2011, a tough year for me. My mother went into the hospital in January and then passed away in February. Her last words to me were around January 10th and it was all downhill after that. I totally forgot to sell the calendars, I forgot to do a book tour for Mama is…Home, the kids came down with a kick ass flu that I swear lasted from December until somewhere in October. My tooth broke, and then I missed my (and my 4 kids) return flight (just forgot) and had to spend a whole ton of my dad’s moolah to get back home. I made quite a few comics about dealing with the grief, and made some wonderful new friends and fans that have gone through the same thing. (Hi there, how you holding up?)

The above of course has nothing to do with breastfeeding and the comics about breastfeeding. In 2011 I just put my head down and made a whole ton of comics. I also started a membership scheme on my blog and due to market um, pressures, dismantled the membership scheme about 6 months later. Simply put it was a lame-ass year, full of loss and sick and failure. I like this comic though, it’s good ;o)

We’re nine years into the 10 year retrospective! If you found me in the last year, how about you say hi below!

The Best Breastfeeding Comic of 2008!

| admin

2008 was most notable for its huge pile of birth comics, looking back I see that I seriously had the I-wanna-have-a-baby-now syndrome. Oh and let’s see, that’s right, Ean was born in March of 2009, funny that. In 2008 I created something like 85 comics, I spoke at the Trust Birth Conference, and published the book: Zines, Slings, and Other D.I.Y. Things I also started editing the book Simply Give Birth and that took a while… and then around August of the year I quit doing Hathor the Cowgoddess comics and started doing Mama Is… same kind of idea just without the cow mask. Lots of you were disappointed, many many more of you said, It’s about time.

 

 

 

 

The Best Breastfeeding comic of 2005!

| admin

we’re 4 years into my 10 year retrospective! I just wanted to let you know that when I say ‘best’, it’s pretty arbitrary. Here’s how I pick: I go though the list of comics until one makes me think, “Oh, I like that one!”  then I pick it as ‘best’ and I don’t look anymore. So this is the one I picked for 2005 and colorized for your viewing pleasure. 2005 was a good year, I spoke at the Florida La Leche League Conference, I gave up looking for a publisher and published my first book, The Birth of Hathor. I had comics printed in an alternative newspaper in Los Angeles, a parenting magazine in Finland, a lactation focused magazine in Germany, and a whole slew of zines, including my own. Zines were awesome. If you can remember me or my comics from way back then, please say hi! in the comments below…
