Untitled

My back.. it hurts... hours and hours of interstate driving... in the dark... with crazy people trying to drive into me. But hey! My mother has the car she wanted and I inherited the family station wagon, Ruby, the girl I learned to drive on! So, my transportation problems are solved. I'll fix Sadie in my spare time.

Sorry, no new comic this week. It's time to bring out the beloved Christmas Specials of yore! So gather yer family around the warm glow of your computer screen and sip some cocoa to the following:

Halloween on Christmas


A Christmas Quarrel

And for the Wiccans...

The First of the Season

Send a Rachel the Great eCard this holiday!
There are designs for both Christmas and Solstice!

Okay, my back is really burning now. Gotta draw more comics! Happy holidays!

Beauty Is as Beauty Believes</a>

New comic up! I hope you enjoy it. Share it if you do!

Damn, finals have been rough. I had to do a tattoo design. Here it is from my <a href="http://rachelthegreat.deviantart.com/" target="_blank">deviantart</a>:
<a href="http://rachelthegreat.deviantart.com/art/Love-Toy-71324170" target="_blank"><img src="http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs24/f/2007/337/c/a/Love_Toy_by_rachelthegreat.jpg" alt="Love Toy" width="530px" height="538px" style="border:0px" /></a>

I had been using crows as a theme all semester long, and then I added love to the mix. I never thought I'd be contemplating love in art.

New comic about boobs plus holiday shopping guide!

Psst, if you haven't read my Self Doubt Fairy comic yet, please do so before reading the following comic :)


Rachel's Magical Bosom

Originally I titled this as Rachel's Magical Rack, but Leigh told me that sounded to crass, so I changed it. I think "bosom" sounds funnier. Speaking of Leigh, check out this comic she made for Raina Telgemeier's Smile comic! Considering the crap my own teeth have put me through, I love this comic. Reeeeeead it. The boots command you!

Holiday shopping!
I put out some new buttons for sale at my shop:


Additionally, if you're sending cards this year, I've got "You Might Be a Subculture of One If..." cards available both at my site:


And on Etsy!

Free Promotion: Banners at DC's Zuda

DC's Zuda site has a banner page that any web comic can submit to, without having to link back! Free promotion, people. Webcomickers, get your asses on this. I will hear none of that, "But my banner looks awful!" or "But my site isn't ready!" Big news: Your banner will always be awful, and your site will never be ready. Get out there and bust a move. Stop procrastinating by wallowing in your own self doubt!

Don't make me get my riding crop.

Dove and Moral Inconsitency

You have to love Dove and their anti-fake advertising campaigns like <a href="http://www.adgabber.com/video/video/show?id=54" target="_blank">Onslaught</a>, but then you realize that their parent company, Unilever, <a href="http://www.adrants.com/2007/10/ccfc-condemns-unilever-for-hypocrisy-we-s.php" target="_blank">is responsible for those annoying BomChickaWahWah ads</a>. Is this a moral inconsistency, as the article puts it?

I also found out about <a href="http://www.3iying.tv/">this marketing group that focuses on what real girls think about real ads</a> and how better to reach the savvy young woman of today. While it sounds paradoxical to link marketing with feminist ideals, this firm seems to have done it, and successfully, too!. I believe, and they show, that you can catch more flies with feminism than with chauvinism. Whereas 20% of a magazine's readership may object to a skinny minny mollie on the cover, 100% will approve of a normal, pleasant young woman (who isn't making orgasm faces all over the inside).

Gosh I love getting all these advertising and marketing newsletters in my inbox. I feel like such a devious little self-brander.
