A few final thoughts about Laura's run as we approach the end of this year's Shortbox Comics Fair, in about 20 hours. In short, thank you! 🖤

If you haven't gotten my comic yet (or any of the other many amazing comics at the fair), you can do so here: www.shortboxcomicsfair.com/shop-sq4wj/p...
collage of a few panels from laura arranged inside fancy frames There's one day left before the Shortbox Comics Fair closes! Before that happens, I wanted to say a few words about Laura and its reception - first of all thank you so so much to those who've gotten the comic and especially if you took the time to let me know you liked it. It means a lot to me. I first read Carmilla five years ago (on the date, I remember reading it on the month of October) and became obsessed with its ending. In a way, Laura has been existing in my brain since the moment I first put down the book. To have the opportunity to bring it to life and for people to read it and say it's the perfect sequel to the novella had me floored in the best way. I'm really glad so many of you thought so! Special thanks also to those unfamiliar with the book who gave my comic a chance, there were also many of you and I'm glad to know the comic holds up on its own. Overall I'm really proud of it, it's one of those projects that you simply must make in your lifetime and I'm incredibly grateful for the readers and to the fair for giving Laura the opportunity to be read by so many.

really fun question I just answered on tumblr about laura ✉️
question: I loved Laura! Thank you for sharing your hard work with us. I don’t think this spoils anything, so could I ask what you think Laura’s relationship with her father was like after the events of Carmilla? answer: Thank you so much for reading!! I haven't given it much thought but if I had to think about it on the fly - the original novella depicts their relationship as overall loving, with Laura's father often spoiling her and shielding her from the world at large. It is of course a fictional relationship seen through the lens of a man who lived in the late 19th century so it comes with all that entails, including the same flavor of how the novel depicts Laura as this demure, often clueless and passive protagonist, which is what drove me to make this comic in the first place. I wanted to explore her internality and what everything that happened in the novella would have done to a lesbian who is closeted even to herself. Sorry I think I got away from your question. I think their relationship kept on being loving, though spoiled by her father being overprotective, even more so after the events of the book, which might've contribuited to Laura's repression and (gestures at everything happening in the comic).

One of the concepts for my Carmilla sequel comic that you can read even if you're not familiar with the book, as long as you like lesbians and vampires and haunted women.

Only two weeks left to get it, only at the shortbox comics fair!

We are midway through the shortbox comic fair, clock's ticking!

I've talked about it before but I thought I'd share Laura's inspirations again. The minor ones are less direct and more vibe based, I was watching a lot of sh2 and listening to a bunch of cain while working on the comic 🩸
inspirations for my shortbox comics fair comic, "laura". Major inspirations: a guest in the house by em carroll, we have always lived in the castle by shirley jackson, the yellow wallpaper by charlotte perkins gilman, and twilight new moon by stephenie meyer. Minor inspirations: Silent hill 2, Ethel Cain the inbred ep.

First read was Dead Horses by Freya JN, INSANELY good, the art and layouts are gorgeous, the worldbuilding is rich, the lesbians tragic. I loved it so much and can't wait to reread. You should follow Freya for her beautiful illustrations as well, definitely excited for whatever she makes next.

still thinking about this ask I got yesterday. you have to make things for yourself and the random internet stranger who will go crazy for it
anon ask: Hello, I just wanted to say thank you for making a lifelong dream come true with your unofficial continuation of Carmilla. As an avid reader of any additional works I can get my hands on, yours did not disappoint! Long have I wanted a sequel titled Laura (along with a prequel titled Mircalla) and I loved everything about what you created — not only did you keep to the Gothic tone of the story, but you also touched on the most poignant and vulnerable themes the novella leaves unexplored such as Laura’s grief and complex feelings about Carmilla. I found your art style to be simply beautiful, and the choice of the black and white color palette with splashes of red was genius. This is definitely one of my favourite works out there and I would without a doubt love to read anything else you might make within the canon should the opportunity ever arise in the future. Thank you again for this visual and visceral delight. answer: Thank you so much for your very kind words!! I wrote Laura to be able to be enjoyed by anyone, but when fellow fans of Carmilla specifically let me know they liked it it means the world to me :') I'm really happy you enjoyed it!
