Enter the world of Curls, a gal with mitten hands who enjoys adventures with her adorable animals friends Pitter Patter, Turtle Neck, Toast of the Town, Conehead, Santa Turtle, and Applause.

The trade paperback CURLS: 2002-2009 Collection of Comic Strips is 7.55″ x 4″ and contains 222 pages of goodness with practically everything I have ever done for Curls in the past few years and contains 200 strips and extra projects I have featured Curls characters in.

Curls started as a comic strip I developed at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2002. The strip was published twice a week in The Commonwealth Times, VCU’s student newspaper and ran until 2004. Since then I have continued creating new Curls strips and this book collects everything I have done so far.

The book includes material I have released before in smaller batches: The College Years, Vacation, Applause the Fighting Fish, The Printable Brain, The Booga Fish, and more! Every college strip… every strip in between all the story line books… everything!

To purchase the book, please head over to the Curls Studio Shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/cartooncarolyn

Thanks for your support,
Carolyn
