You did this whole thing YESTERDAY?! You're a machine, Lucy!

Also, I absolutely love it. :)

It was one of those things! I'd been working on the food book for AGES, and doing a steady two-pages a day. When I got the opportunity to work on something that WASN'T the food book, I went a little nutso.
Thank you, Raina!

"I got linked by James Kochalka! Totally boss"

Not only did you get linked, also there is a 'Appreciation Thread' started on his forum. They spelt your name a bit wrong.

How do you keep your pesto?

My mum made tons last year and froze it. But she didn't tell my step dad. When he went to the freezer he found all these bags of green mush and threw them all away, thinking it was something gone moldy.

We keep it in jars!
It's also sometimes helpful to wax-seal the jars, like you do for jam, but pesto doesn't go bad very easily, I've found. There's too much oil and salt to really have it spoil.

Beautiful.

This is beautiful! I love Fall and I love comics about Fall. I can picture the colors in my mind! And butternut squash! Yum! Very awesome.

I would love to go live in the country but I'd have to override my fears.

oh MAN. I am a total Hudson Valley kid. I grew up on Long Island, went to school in Manhattan and now I live near Albany. This is a fantastic story! I totally want to read that anthology. I also can't believe you JUST did it! You crazy!

ALSO, congrats on the Kochalka link!
Do you pencil stuff first or just go straight to inks? How do you write these things so fast??

(Reply) (Thread)

Wow this is all shades of awesome. How are you so fast? Did you win the robot-devils hands in a game of chance?

(Reply) (Thread)

Wow you did all this in one day ? It's incredibly lovely.

I like the textures of the trees, the brick wall, and the "AAAA".

i am in love with your wonderful variations on showing food as a theme!

You must have forty-hour days over there.
The drawings look really detailed: love the textures.

(Reply) (Thread)

Wow!

Um, are there still cheese shirts available? I'm afraid I've been a complete bozo in regard to acting on my desire to have one. I hope I'm not too late to acquire a medium. Size medium that is, not spiritual medium. Though I could probably use a spiritual medium sometimes. I always wanted to talk to Houdini.

Fantastic! But now I'm sooo hungry!

(Reply) (Thread)

Awesome!

I am about to move from California to Rochester, New York - which is either Western or Upstate depending on who you ask. This comic makes me even more excited about it.

(Reply) (Thread)

That was awesome! I spent two years in upstate NY and, yea, sorry, but I couldn't get over the leaves either.

(Reply) (Thread)

great stuff Lucy!
I can vouch for the home-laid eggs! My dad got chickens last year and it's amazing how much better they are. We have ducks now too!

(Reply) (Thread)

Hi Lucy,
I checked out your stuff via James Kochalka's recommendation and I'm a big fan now! I wish I had all day to check out your eNORmous website. I downloaded a few mp3s which are very cool (I'm a mandolin player so I appreciate the oft-overlooked plinky instrument family) and now I'm looking forward to French Milk (Lait Francais?) very much. Also, I've spent a good deal of time in Saugerties, New Paltz and all those great spots so I can totally appreciate the lovely Catskill harvests too.

Cheers!

Dan

WOW. I looooooooooved this comic, good good stuff.

(Reply) (Thread)

Wait...all this time I've been reading your comics and you're from Rhinebeck?!

I am too! The Greig farm ride was always so damned great every year, I haven't been on it in ages now.

Yay for kindred spirits!

Yup! What a coincidence! My mom still lives there, and I'm often down in those parts. The Greig Farm hayride was the absolute best, but they stopped doing in a few years ago when the farm started having troubles. I also did the Greig Farm Daycamp, about, jeez, 13 years ago or so. It was awesome, they trucked us around in the haycart, and we fed animals, planted gardens, made butter from fresh cow-milk and generally it was an awesome hudson-valley time. I miss that farm at it's most prosperous.
