thrown in.\u00c2\u00a0 There&#8217;s her getting swallowed by Lost (I can relate), people watching, talking comics with friends, accidentally hurting a baby mouse, making a pile of money through a day of odd jobs, getting a rude reception at a Korean restaurant, o a quest for a new iPod, doing taxes, wallowing, drawing entirely too many panels, getting drunk, and caring for a baby starling.\u00c2\u00a0 My favorite strip (sampled, as always) is her &#8220;do I go out or not&#8221; dance, as who can&#8217;t relate to that?\u00c2\u00a0 Effortlessly social and popular people, you say?\u00c2\u00a0 That&#8217;s OK, I don&#8217;t think those folks read comics.\u00c2\u00a0 Oh, and she also has a strip dealing with a loose tooth and too many olives from when she was a kid.\u00c2\u00a0 My only problem with the book is that her cursive is occasionally unreadable.\u00c2\u00a0 If you squint really hard you can generally get the idea, but there were a few times when I had to just let a word or two fly by, which messes up the narrative flow a bit.\u00c2\u00a0 Overall though, an excellent comic.\u00c2\u00a0 She&#8217;s open, self-deprecating (without really pouring it on), and can draw a mean hobo, among other things.\u00c2\u00a0 Definitely worth checking out.\u00c2\u00a0 Her website is still under construction (here&#8217;s hoping that&#8217;s a new message, not something that has been up there for years) but you can always get a copy through the old e-mail.\u00c2\u00a0 $3<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/donotdisturb2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4180\" title=\"donotdisturb2\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/donotdisturb2.jpg\" alt=\"donotdisturb2\" width=\"387\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/donotdisturb2.jpg 387w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/donotdisturb2-215x300.jpg 215w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 387px) 100vw, 387px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>E-mail Website Do Not Disturb My Waking Dream #2 Here&#8217;s one more person who just had to be on my site somewhere, but other than Trubble Club (which you should all be reading), it looks like she didn&#8217;t have her own page.\u00c2\u00a0 Huzzah for being able to fix that!\u00c2\u00a0 This is a pile of short [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1829,2223],"class_list":["post-4178","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews","tag-do-not-disturb-my-waking-dream","tag-laura-park"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4178","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4178"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4178\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7385,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4178\/revisions\/7385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4178"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4178"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
