Solstice*1947's Profile
Solstice*1947 Free
Born on the shortest day of '47 in southern CA. At six I moved east to B’klyn. Grew up reading comics in NY papers (Journal American/World Journal Tribune; Daily News & Mirror on Sundays). In my 20's I created and drew a comic strip to submit to several syndicates. It was (perhaps wisely) rejected by all the reputable ones. Unique back then, now it would be described as similar to “Eek!” Worked as a High School teacher of Speech & Theater until "excessed" after a few years. Then joined a multinational accounting/consulting firm and eventually created their first in-house Graphics Department. After 32 years I was offered a retirement package I couldn't refuse. My wife retired at about the same time and we happily spent our free time with friends and family, going to a lot of plays and musicals, visiting museums, and traveling around the country and the world. And then came COVID-19. And I discovered GoComics (and a love of limericks).
/// “Did you come here to spread rumors, base?”
Bella spat at Sofia’s smug face.
“No,” Sofia replied,
“I am here to provide
a cure for your impending disgrace.”
/// “I’ve a brother who needs to be wed
to inherit when our father’s dead.
Though he’s never desired
girls, he’ll swear that he sired
your child— and you need not share his bed.”
