Stuttering Is Cool

Here is the fist comic of a book I’m working on called St-St-Stuttering is C-C-Cool. I’ll be posting each comic as I complete them. Feel free to download, print out, etc. but not for profit (like selling copies– for that you will need to contact me first). I only ask that you keep everything intact including my name, websites, etc.

Please accept my apology

I’ve had A LOT of set backs in getting this comic up. Mostly due to the availability of a thin-tipped marker in the colours I needed.

I was eager to start posting my comics so I decided I’d upload this for the time being depite how disapponted I am with the outcome. I’ve done too many redraws that it’s starting to stifle creativity. So please excuse the über-amateur look of my comic. Once I find the perfect medium, I’ll redraw and repost it.

All because LetraSet decided to discontinue their Tria markers and replace them with, yucky, blotchy kinds.

Please accept another apology

St-St-Stuttering is C-C-Cool is about a stutterer growing into accepting his stutter. Coincidentally, the theme of my podcast! Through this comic, I also aim to show non-stuttering readers what it feels like to live with a stutter.

The last thing I want to do is offend any of my fellow stutterers so please keep in mind that I certainly do not aim to do this and I am approaching this subject with the sensitivity of a life-long stutterer. Because I am one!

I promise, quality of drawings will improve. I’m already done with my 2nd comic and it’s 1000 times better.

Episode 21

I talk about how I cheered up a fellow stutterer on the other side of the country thanks to the Internet, social media and the relatively low cost of computers, broadband, webcams, etc. In other words, Stuttering 2.0!

On today’s episode, I participate in a study that will help stutterers!

My apologies for the state of the design of this site. In the process of upgrading my blog software, everything went kablooey and things went from worse to more worse to WTF. Not even my back up helps!

That means I’m going to have to redesign everything from scratch this summer. That’s going to take a while as long as the weather’s gorgeous.  Until then, please excuse the plain web design.

Here it is!

The interview of me, Mark Blevis and Melinda Mason on CBC Radio One’s Sounds Like Canada. Mark produces Just One More Book with his wife, Andrea while Melinda produces My Marilyn, a podcast devoted to the legendary Marilyn Monroe.
