OTBKB is thrilled to present S’Crapbook, a regular column by comix artist Jennifer Hayden, a politically incorrect mother of two. Please click on the image above to see a larger (and more readable) version of it.
I thought her work would be of interest to OTBKB readers and I’m sure you’ll agree.
After a failed career as a fiction writer, and a slightly more successful one as a children’s book illustrator, Jennifer found her bliss, writing and drawing alternative comix for women. She is a member of the ACT-I-VATE webcomix collective based in Brooklyn, and her first book, Underwire, is coming out in September 2011 from Top Shelf.
Underwire started as a webcomic on ACT-I-VATE and has since gained critical attention as a fresh indie comic about womanhood, parenthood, and being-in-the-middle-of-life-hood. Jennifer’s comix have also appeared in various anthologies, and she is currently desperately trying to finish a graphic novel about her life and her experience with breast cancer, to be published in 2013. . She grew up in Manhattan and now lives in New Jersey with her husband, two kids, three cats, three kids and the dog.

Big shot. Nice scarf, though.
Welcome to Brooklyn, ladies–and thanks!
And a show off.
Overachiever.
