We’re still all waiting for the long-awaited and currently-delayed Juicy Mother #2, but sources close to me say it should be out in September of 2007 or so, and not from Soft Skull but from Manic D Press. A comics anthology by and about queers, women, and people of color, Juicy Mother Number Two offers a true alternative to alternative comics, a genre dominated by straight white men. This follow-up to the excellent first edition features contributors like Alison Bechdel, Joan Hilty, Howard Cruse, and Ivan Velez Jr. I illustrated a funny little 2 page story by journalist Lawrence Ferber for this edition.
