Yesterday (December 3rd), I decided to try messaging a fellow webcomic creator that I strongly admire: Shelby Lynn Criswell, writer and illustrator of Awkward Shelby.
And, boy, am I glad I did! She’s not only super talented, but also super sweet! She even checked out The Flea and is now a fan! So I wanted to do everything in my power to promote her comic and share her work with all of you. 
Awkward Shelby is a series of autobiographical strips detailing the awkward moments of Shelby’s life. Shelby is a self-procliamed “androgynous weirdo,” but I think her awkwardness is very universal (or at least I personally relate to many of her plights). Her drawing style is very whimsical and full of movement and life.
Also, she’s working on a more serious graphic novel called This is Your Life, which looks very very very promising! 
Below are a number of my favorite strips from Awkward Shelby.
The following images belong to Shelby Lynn Criswell.

This vacation had its ups and downs — well, let’s make that heavy on the downs. But there were a few memobrable moments, which I managed to capture “on film.”
