Hi! Just wondering, have you considered making a book for Candi? I love the comic and I've enjoyed watching your art grow and change over time, so having it all in book form would be fantastic! :)
One day! I’ve been reformatting the older strips on and off for the past couple years to get them book ready. Not re-drawing anything, but slight clean-ups, fixing the panel frames, making them all the same size.
It’s pretty tedious, but as I fix the strips, I put them up on the Candi archive. Still not through 2004 yet.
After that’s done, I hope to start a Kickstarter project to get the funds to make the book.
Is your first name really Starline?
Yes. (And my middle name is Xiomara.)
What happened to a doodle a day? I miss it. :(
I have nothing to ask. I just wanted to tell you I love candicomics. I've been following that comic since I was sixteen, and still going at age twenty-one. Keep up the awesome work!
:) Thank you!
The 5 Stupidest Habits You Develop Growing Up Poor →

Remember that time you were cleaning out your wallet and found an extra $5 bill stuffed inside one of the pockets? Poor people are laughing their asses off right now because I might as well be asking if they remember the time they found an extra minotaur in the kitchen. When you’re living check to check, there is no amount of money that isn’t accounted for, right down to the last penny. You don’t have “about 70 bucks” in the bank. You have $68.17.
You think in exact numbers because, at any given point, you have to know if swiping the debit card for gas will put you into overdraft territory. You have to be able to figure on the spot how much you can spend versus how much you need to survive until the next payday, and even the numbers after the decimal point are important. The simplest miscalculation could mean the difference between an actual dinner or a bowl of McDonald’s ketchup packets at the end of the week.
I was wondering what you use to print your prints. (lol). I have some work that I'm interested in selling, but not quite sure if I should go to an outside company or if it was better or more cost effective to buy some better materials and do it from home. :D Thanks.
For the 8x11s I just go to FedEx/Kinkos and have them printed on their glossy paper.
When I was in LA, I’ve used indieprinting.com for the 11x17s because they offered local pick up, and their customer service was great. Still looking for a local place in Miami to get a small run of 11x17s made, but I might end up using Indie again.
