Topsy's Shocking End
Bad news: It's been over a month since I've posted.
Good news: I'll have brand new full-page comics to post over the next few weeks!

I've learned lots of fun and exciting things, like how to letter a comic.
Our first week's assignment was a historical comic. I have a soft spot for elephants, so I wrote and drew a comic about Topsy, the elephant that Thomas Edison electrocuted in his "War of the Currents" with Tesla.

Topsy's story has been getting around - a whole episode of Bob's Burgers was based on it. Below is the main song from the episode, "Electric Love," covered by Stephin Merritt (of the Magnetic Fields - so many science-y references!) and Kenny Mellman.
