VELIA, DEAR Day Uno…
Well here it is at last — day one of my web-comic, and I have to say I’m pretty excited about it. It all started about a year ago when I was struck by the idea of how much creative freedom an on-line, self-published comic strip could afford me. Not to mention how much fun I could have with it.
While I continue to love the world of the newspaper comics page, I just feel I have so much more to give, and — I gotta tell you — the independence of an on-line strip, with its liberties and lack of censorship, sounds like a hat I want to try on right now, just for laughs.
Oh, and something more … I’ll be blogging often — not just words, but cartoons and comics, too. Check in regularly here and at rinapiccolo.com and I promise I’ll try not to bore you.
That’s all for now.
I really enjoy writing and drawing “Velia, Dear”, and so I sincerely hope you’ll enjoy reading it.
…. and remember, “Velia, Dear” updates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday….
Thanks!
Oh boy! I am excited!
Very nice work; I like your drawing style. Good luck with this; I’m sure you’ll get a lot of readers.
I’ve been following Tina’s Groove for sometime now; it’s one of the better strips in the papers–fresh and original.
Rina,
You’re a rockstar. Good luck with the new strip!
Thanks, everyone, for your support — i so appreciate it!
Good luck! It’s already looking great!
I love that you are spreading your creative wings with Velia, Dear! I would never call myself an early adopter for anything really; but in this instance, I am happy to make the exception.
Awesome job, Rina! Looking forward to following this.
AWESOME!
i love it very much
Beautiful artwork and funny stories! I’m a fan!
Congratulations, Rina.
Not only is ‘Velia, Dear’ funny, it’s also an original concept. After just uno day I can already see the enormous potential (and to top it all, I’m learning Italian!)
Do you ever take a day off work, bonny Lass?
To say that you have hit the nail on the head would be an understatement. On behalf of all Italian women looking at the prospect of “turning the tables” on mom, thank you for assuring us we’re not alone – e che non siamo tutte matte! Best of luck!
The deadlines, the deadlines!
Great work and I’m impressed that you got your head around hosting your own wordpress site – does MY head in (but my head is very small and not like one of your wonderful characters).
A new Rina Piccolo strip? 2010 is turning into a good year after all! I’m another TINA’S GROOVE fan & am enjoying what I see of VELIA, DEAR. Thanx for the extra comic strip goodness!
Rina, this is hilarious! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Thanks Rina , Veila looks great , think I am going to enjoy it as much as Tina .
We are just coming into the cold weather down under so need an extra laugh to brighten the day .
