NovemberWatch: Ladies Making Comics goes native…

November is a month that, for most USAmericans, is associated with Thanksgiving, the holiday where we get together with our families, stuff our faces, and watch football and parades with giant balloons.

Rebecca is quoted saying "There's a part of me that believes more in the overall power of what they mean, and I think that provides maybe as much inspiration as whether or not they actually exist… I would love to believe that there is a great angelic being watching over me, but I also love just the process of believing that, whether or not it's true."
