I have still not seen so much as a screen shot or still from “Samantha Who?”, so this is one of those parodies that won’t be much fun to read. However, it was fun seeing all you went through in the couple short days leading up to the deadline for this…3 hours of sleep followed by a 9+ hour road trip to St. Louis, not to mention coloring each page while at least 50 artists were drooling over your Cintiq and clawing at your back, grilling you with questions the whole time. And of course preparing for a presentation and inking workshop. Where would you be without those CO 2 tanks you call Monster lo-carb?!
At first I thought it was an odd show to pick for a parody, but since I did it I’ve seen multiple articles on the show and on Christina. I guess it was reasonably popular before the strike. It’s already been picked up for next year.
