Smile originally began its life as web comic that Telgemeier eventually collected and set up at Scholastic’s Graphix imprint for a 2010 release that would go on to spend over 240 weeks on the New York Times‘ best sellers list. You can now include yours truly on that list because I recently tore through her two autobiographical books Smile and Sisters. She not only has a passel of Eisner Awards on his shelf (the Oscars of comics), but also sells ridiculously high numbers of original graphic novels that kids continue to eat up. Few people in the industry have done a better job of that than writer-artist-cartoonist Raina Telgemeier.
I got into the medium way back in 1992 and have been a fan ever since, so I’m always trying to figure out ways to get new people interested in sequential storytelling. One of the areas that I want to continue exploring is the world of all-ages comics. It took a while to get caught up with Photo Diaries and now that that particular monkey’s off my back, I’m looking to get back to the whole idea behind this site: sharing my experiences in hopes that someone else will find them useful (or, at the very least, entertaining!). You may have noticed that I’m posting a lot more here on PopPoppa lately.
