One of the big thrills of going to SPX was the fact that my favourite webcomic creator was going to be there. As I said previously, I spotted her within a few minutes of getting to the hotel and then I immediately felt like I was over my head. Then, my table turned out to be across from hers.

So I ended up turning into a complete and utter fangirl when I went to her table (even picking up multiple copies of her book, so I had one for me and some for my friends).

While I have not portrayed her in the strip (mostly due to her having an awesome cartoon version already… Sorry Kev, as awesome as I think you look in Mascot, you are reoccurring enough in my life that you NEED a CC version of you), I will now reveal that this Lady of Great Awesome is Erika Moen of DAR! A Super Girly Top Secret Comic Diary fame. At the time of SPX, it was the only webcomic I read regularly and that and Kevin’s I’m My Own Mascot were big influences in me starting my own autobio comic.
