Road trip.


The Yumi and I had been throwing around the idea of doing a comic for awhile now, but in the same way that I had been throwing around the idea of getting a gym membership every January 1st. Nothing really started moving and shaking until we went on a weekend road trip up the coast. Starved for conversation to fill the 12 plus hours spent stuck in a car, we came back to this comic book idea. Maybe it was the awesome view, maybe it was the awesome company, maybe it was the free wine pours we got at Casa de Fruta- throwing around an idea became brainstorming and character developing and story planning. One of the ideas we had was to chronicle this creative experiment through a blog, and thus Posse Power was born. Updates will come at least three times a week, maybe more.

Expect more stories about our creative process, as well as character sketches and diary entries from the character. Ooooh as Kimmie learns how to do comic dialogue! Aaaah as Yumi learns to draw buildings and background! Come one, come all, and see Asian American girls stomp their stereotype as passive manga subjects to dust.
