What is the Littlest Elle?
“The Littlest Elle” is an autobiographical comic that I’ve been creating/updating since 2007. The project started as an exercise to train myself to update regularly and think about portraying things in comic format. It’s since evolved into a quick sketch meditation on quiet (frequently positive) moments in my daily life that interest me.
Unless a strip is marked otherwise (ex. a comic exercise such as the 52 comics challenge or a 24 hour comic), everything in this comic is a portrayal of something that’s actually happened to me. As a result, crazy retail stories tend to dominate the first 2 years of the strip and “oh my gosh I own a cat eeee!” stories tend to dominate everything else.
The only exception to this rule is the presence of Sassy Possum. Sassy Possum is obviously not real. Sassy Possum is a generic stand-in character that I’ve used in the past when I didn’t want to show someone’s actual likeness.
