Meet Dee Dee
[Sirens] Weekly webcomic! [Sirens]
It’s good to be back at my desk making comics again. Thank you to all of you for picking up Night Chef. I focused all my energy on launching the book last year and seeing it take off has been gratifying. I actually ran into it face out in Kinokuniya last month which is a personal achievement I thought would be forever denied me for reasons I will keep to myself. But on the other hand, you guys can really tire an artist out. And then the other day at a party an eight-year old shyly told me that her parents don’t let her read Diary of a Wimpy Kid because it’s a . . . graphic . . . novel. This world just sets you up to pull it out from under you. So it’s good to be back at my trusty desk working on something new.
Dee Dee is just a middle schooler trying to get to school on time without exploding anything. I’ve been working on her story for a while now, the character came to me during a month-long vacation back in 2023 and eventually she will be a book with Random House Graphic. But in the meantime, she’ll be getting into side quests right here on the internet because it’s impossible to stop her. Updates will be every Thursday on Webtoons. I’ll also add them on to these almost bi-weekly newsletters. Enjoy!
[Comic description: Dee Dee is standing in stacked sneakers attached by cables to hand grips with buttons. Jasper says, “Nice shoes!” Dee Dee says, “I figured out how to add jet thrusters to the soles without setting them on fire!” Jasper says, “Why?” Dee Dee says, “So we can tear through the sky and arrive at school in under five minutes. I made you a pair so we can fly together.” Jasper says, “You should go first.” Dee Dee says, “You’re right. I am the inventor. Stay on the ground and record this for Science.” Dee Dee is ready to blast off. Dee Dee says, “Ready!” Jasper says, “Should you wear a helmet?” Dee Dee. Updates every Thursday on Webtoons.]






Dee Dee will be a fun character to get to know.
Dee Dee looks amazing! Looking forward to reading more!
