A sample of a potential memoir looking at all the ways I didn’t fit in or really have a clue what was going on around me growing up. But cute! You can see how the character design evolved out of the earlier Spiderhead comics, and I was also inspired by other memoirs like It’s Lonely at the Centre of the Earth and the My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness series.

I’ve called it ‘Stripped’ because of the dual meaning of it being told in short strips and the feeling of being stripped apart by all the tiny hurts that the world inflicts upon you growing up. It mimics daily newspaper strips to reinforce that message these things happen every day, they’re both ordinary and relentless.
