How to start a new trend in the media
I started the phrase, Girl Talk Cartoons, before anyone else in our little media world of published cartoonists…of which only a couple were women! I based my books on this trend. I based my main subjects: love, hope, friendships, fun, shopping, animals, chocolate, and yes, sex, on this. And I started this Cartoon Category: Girl Talk Cartoons!

And then came the copycats. Cartoon stock agencies quickly stole it ( looking at you, Cartoonstock) – even though they didn’t have ANY female cartoonists. (I don’t know if they even had women in their UK office.)
But let’s talk about what women talk about. Girl talk isnt a secret language, although a lot of secrets are shared…it’s just a high-flying, happy place to hang out for a few hours…or days…or in much of your free time. Friendships on fire!
I think sisters grow up with it, and might not realize how special it is until they get older and move away. Me, I just had a stupid brother, so girlfriends became my confidantes and support team.
A good idea always leads to spinoffs!
In any case, girl talk inspired my first big project: a page-a-day calendar for Barnes & Noble: What Do Women REALLY Want? Cats, Chocolate, Shoes, and Love! Which let to my first book: What Do Women REALLY Want? Chocolate! (I was so happy to have my first book be all about chocolate. That’ll show, you Dad, after your constant nagging about my bad nutrition!)
Then came another book, my second stint as editor: Love Me or Go to Hell. The title was written by my awesome and fantastic cartoonist friend, Stephanie Piro. (I added True Love Cartoons to the title, so as not to scare readers away! It’s not an angry feminist book, although it’s written by feminists. It’s just things that made us giggle or lol about our ridiculous life and love lives.)
Sure, you can find bits and pieces of Girl Talk in texts, or instagram posts, or tedious Facebook announcements, but you really need long talks, and maybe even pajama parties, to revel in feminine hysterics, and juicy gossip.
Girl Talk Cartoons is one place I prescribe that will definitely heal you and make you happier.
