Tres mas pages pour vous:







There's one more (pretty inconsequential, action-wise) page left in this chapter, I just couldn't for the life of me finish it in time to update this week.  Sacred Heart updates might be slow over the next few weeks because I'm going to try and crank out Cyanide Milkshake #4 (my comics zine) in time for this big local DIY fest going on in June http://festtoo.tumblr.com/ .  I did the flyer too, scroll down and take a look!

So, a reminder: if you want to keep track of me and all the fascinating (or, "fascinating") things I'm up to, you can follow me on Twitter under the username ElSub.  You can buy my print comics online from Quimby's http://www.quimbys.com/store/liz-suburbia and Wow Cool http://wowcool.com/Liz-Suburbia/ , or in person from my awesome bud Kevin Czap http://www.bros-czap.com/kevinczap/ at SPACE this weekend in Columbus, Ohio.  And as always you look at my drawrings on my Tumblr http://lizsuburbia.tumblr.com/ and read the entirety of Sacred Heart so far at http://lizsuburbia.com/ .  ME ME ME ME.

Okay, see y'all real real soon, have a great weekend! xoxo

BECAUSE WHEN WE MET IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG

And on to the next chapter:





Sorry about the period blood oh wait no I'm not. In case you don't follow me on Twitter, here's some info: this is the start of chapter 17, and Sacred Heart volume 1 is going to end up at 29 chapters total (unless I end up mushing some chapters together, in which case it'll be the same number of pages, just fewer chapters).  We're more than halfway there! If you need a bathroom break now's a good time.

And in the meantime, there are now places online where you can buy my print comics! The beautiful people at Wow Cool (http://wowcool.com/Liz-Suburbia/) and Quimby's (http://www.quimbys.com/store/4699) were kind enough to carry my shtuff.  Check it out if you're so inclined.

Okay see you next week with more!

Six new pages, it's the end of the chapter! BOOM:













The plot thickens!  Feel free to choose your own background music; I'm partial to "Ever Fallen in Love" by the Buzzcocks but it's up to you.  Next week: the aftermath! xoxoxo

Next three pages, goodness gracious:







Cue the chorus of middle-schoolers going "OOOOO!" I was hoping to get 5 pages done for this update but my weekend was full of errands, oh well; if I really crank it though we might be looking at a 6-pager next week. We'll see!

For those of you who have been asking: Sacred Heart is NOT in print right now.  It's web-only until I finish volume one here, at which point I'm going to do some heavy edits and THEN see about printing it one big trade paperback.  I do have some non-Sacred Heart minicomics in print but for now you'll have to either wait until SPX or get them from Kevin http://www.bros-czap.com/kevinczap/ at one of the many small press conventions he attends, because I'm still struggling with getting the whole online ordering thing organized (I'm still chasing down the few orders I have sent out, as the postal service seems to take joy in promptly losing them).

In the meantime, you can read the whole story so far at http://lizsuburbia.com/ ! See you next week!

Song by Teenage Bottlerocket. Gotta head to work! I've got a splitting headache so I'm pretty sure the first customer who gives me shit is gonna get their comics spit in. Have a great week, see you next time!

Next four pages:









Hmm, I need to find a better way to render "too much make-up" without color/grayscale. Anyway I'm excited to be working on this chapter; lots of major plot points moving forward over the next several pages, stay tuned. Bedtime for now. xoxo

Dudes, I'm so tired right now, here's 3 new pages a little late but better late than never:







I feel like all my facial expressions came out wonky in this one? It'll be better next time, for now I really need to get my ass to bed. I posted a bunch of art on my Tumblr this week if you're still hungry, baby birds: http://lizsuburbia.tumblr.com/

By the way, if you're commenting in Russian(or maybe Ukrainian?) I'm very glad to hear from you but I'm afraid I can't understand a word you're saying. Maybe one of these days I'll learn though!

GOOD NIGHT

New chapter, three new pages!







Man, I have the hardest time rendering Em's hair. I should've made it blonde from the start instead of light brown.

How y'all doing? Staying hardcore? Good. See you next week, barring any technical/mental difficulties. xoxo

Feb. 1st, 2012 @ 01:28 pm You shot me and I woke up in my next life
SIX! whole pages for your viewing pleasure, finishing up this chapter (no more constant crotches and butts, THANK GOD):













Show of hands, who else got in trouble for reading Valley of the Horses as a kid? Just me? In my defense, I was honestly operating under the misguided assumption that the focus of the narrative was gonna be the actual horses and not, you know, nonstop neanderthal sex.

COMING NEXT WEEK: pre-Dance action!
