Babycoat
I love Julia Durgee's cartoon style, which is why I am happy to host her on this blog.
And this last one is my favorite. Because it's so real about the self-conscious, the zelf-bewustzijn in Dutch, the self-awarness that is often sharpest in the memory of dreams. I love her take on wimsy and how she touches what is just under the surface.
And I love how her drawing is essential to her little stories, and not a mere excuse for dialogue.
I don't want to say too much about this cartoon, because I should let it speak for itself, but it expresses for me the complexity of love. There is desire in it, humility, courage, grandiosity, childlikeness, great gift and great need. This is a Romantic cartoon in the classic Don Quixotic sense of High Romance.

Julia
Julia Durgee goes to Old First, and she's an artist, an illustrator, and a cartoonist.
Julia has a wonderful style and vision and look of her own. I love it. I haven't seen any cartoons that are like hers.
Julia agreed to make some cartoons for our Seventh Avenue bulletin board. She puts a new one up every few weeks. I encouraged her to build them around a continuing character. So they're about Julia, of course.
And they can be open. They can explore. They can comment. They can simply express and rejoice. They don't have to make a sermon. All they have to do is help us love the world.
Now we get to have them posted here as well. Jessica Stockton knows how to do it (I don't.) You can look forward to new ones showing up here.
I am so happy that Old First is a congregation in which people can use their gifts.
