Searching for jobs is a little soul destroying at times. I’ve been working on my CV, and working on putting together my portfolio. If anyone’s interested in writing a testimonial for me I’d be totally grateful 🙂
I’m really enjoying the adam storyline on Degrassi though. I watched the original show when I was growing up, and I’m consequently obsessed with this teen drama forever now.

Oh, and for the record, in real life – Joey is supportive of my degrassi-watching-obsession.
TRANSCRIPT:
Panel 1:
(There is a caption at the top of the panel, which reads:) 10 hours a week as a youth worker doesn’t pay the rent.
Sam: (A person wearing a blue, collared shirt, a maroon vest, and dark brown trousers, who is facing the viewer, but looking down. Eyebrows are raised and mouth is open, with downturned edges. There are flecks of sweat to either side of Sam’s face. Arms are slightly away from sides, holding empty, inside-out trouser pockets.) Oh no! I gots to get moneys!!!
Panel 2:
(There is a caption at the top of the panel, which reads:) Job hunting is the WORST!
Sam: (A person who is facing the viewer, and looking down. One eyebrow is raised, the other lowered, and both are pushed together slightly. There are two exclamation marks by Sam’s head. Mouth is open, with slightly downturned edges, and hands are holding up an open newspaper.) Arrrgh! I can’t do any of these jobs!
Panel 3:
(There is a caption at the top of the panel, which reads:) And I don’t know where to start with the trans stuff…
Sam: (A person who is facing the viewer, and looking at the silhouettes of two people. Eyebrows are raised and mouth is open, with downturned edges. Both arms are bent up at the elbow, both hands are open, one is horizontal and the other vertical.) I know I still look like a girl, but trust me, I’m a guy.
Panel 4:
(There is a caption at the top of the panel, which reads:) So for now…
Joe: (A person wearing a green hoodie and black trousers, who is facing the viewer and looking at Sam. Eyebrows are raised and mouth is open, with slightly downturned edges. One hand is on Joe’s hip, the other is bent up at the elbow, with palm horizontal.) Degrassi? Really?!
Sam: (A person who is sitting in an armchair, facing the viewer and a tv, but looking at Joe. Eyebrows are raised, and mouth is open, with slightly downturned edges. Both arms are on the arms of the armchair, and one is bent up at the elbow, with its palm facing up.) What? It’s about youth. It counts as Professional Development!
“Degrassi” is the ATOM-BOMB. Love that show. Oh, Canada. Land of enchantment.
‘Tis true, I hear it is full of enchanted faeries
LOl *never* apologise for watching Degrassi!!
haha! never will I apologise again 🙂
My boyfriend is also obsessed with that show! Can’t blame him though. They don’t treat LGBT issues as the butt end of jokes, and nor do they have two-dimensional LGBT characters. Props to the show’s writers.
Yeh I really like how all their queer characters have different storylines, and it doesn’t have to be the same old ‘arrrgh it’s painful being queer’. And I really loved how in season 3 (??) when Marco came out, that they concentrated on Spinner’s homophobia – and how that was the problem, not Marco being gay. So great.
omg, I’ve been outted as a Degrassi watcher by my boyfriend!
I do love the character of Adam, but that he seems less masculine as the season goes on… bothers me slightly.
Eeek! Outed as awesome!
Yeh, I know what you mean about Adam, but I kinda like that he’s not all super macho, that he’s nerdy y’know, and hangs ’round with Eli, who also has an alternative masculinity going on. It wasn’t what I would expect, but it’s kinda refreshing.
i feel you on this one…not sure when i’ll ever make it past the “15 hrs/wk nonprofit work – 25 hrs/wk menial labor service job” marker. 😛 on a positive side, i take pride in knowing that i’m doing exactly what i want to do, on my own terms, as the person i want to be…and that having a well-paid “real” job is much less important than all of that (although all of this is hard to remember when the bills come in :P). anyway, best of luck!
Well thanks to you I now need to out myself as a new Degrassi fan. LOL I’m glad I stumbled across your art, even if it did fester a new obsession. 🙂
Haha yay for degrassi fans, be out and proud! And thanks so much!
