It's about time I posted these long-overdue comics, written for my community newsletter. This is something I've been doing for almost three years now, but I think it's the end of an era - time for me to find another way I can contribute to my community. After all, there are so many things going on - the Community Association, Ramsay School, our amazing skating rink... Or maybe I should just walk around taking pictures of doors in the neighbourhood? Yes, I actually did that a few days ago... but that's another story. Meanwhile, here are the comics!

Glad to read you are exploring working on a tablet. I love my art apps and they work well together. Sketchbook Pro, ArtRage, Sketchclub, artbox, tiledeck, Paper by 53....

I don't even know what any of those are yet. Thanks for letting me know your list - good suggestions for me to explore. It takes me so long to get into the groove with these high-tech tools. I still want pencil crayons! However, I have a feeling this tablet is going to transform the way I draw stuff... exciting!!

Some nice things people said about my work:
“If Breitkreuz and Foong [founders of the Calgary Comics & Entertainment Expo] represent the Type-A side of Calgary's self-publishing community, Hester may be the community's right brain.” – Tom Babin, FFWD Magazine
“…A strong graphic style similar to other autobiographically-inclined Canadian cartoonists like Chester Brown and Julie Doucet.” – Gilbert Bouchard, Edmonton Journal
