Bitter Girl<\/a>,\u00c2\u00a0the comic strip for the cranky urban girl in all of us,\u00c2\u00a0began as angry, needy doodles in the margins of a journal during an ill-fated affair. It first ran as a full-page feature in Minneapolis’ \u00c2\u00a0FocusPoint<\/em> in 1998. From 2001-2012, the strip was distributed by Q Syndicate<\/a>, appearing in the\u00c2\u00a0Dallas Voice<\/a>,\u00c2\u00a0Philadelphia Gay News<\/a>,\u00c2\u00a0<\/em>Pridesource<\/a>,\u00c2\u00a0<\/em>Seattle Gay News<\/a>,\u00c2\u00a0<\/em>South Florida Gay News<\/a>,\u00c2\u00a0<\/em>Gay Calgary<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0<\/em>and\u00c2\u00a0Lesbian Connection<\/a>,<\/em> to name a few.<\/p>\n

\"\"BITTER GIRL: THE EARLY YEARS<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

This was the strip’s original format in FocusPoint.<\/em> Q Syndicate asked me to switch to a four-panel format for new material and whittle any reusable full-pagers down accordingly. Easier said than done! None of these made the cut.<\/p>\n
