In Step with America's Little People
NOTE FOR PLASTICOPIA READERS: We're doing a little experimenting with the comic style of lay out. Feedback is welcome. Also, this guy kind of surprised us when he showed up on the set, interrupting the story. We're not sure what's going on between him and Sharon, but hopefully the mystery will be solved soon without blood being shed. Until then...may there be four-leaf clovers wherever your gaze may fall and a pot of gold at the end of all your rainbows.
It was my good fortune recently to stumble upon a small overlooked community in the heart of my own neighborhood. The inhabitants invited me into their homes and shared their histories with me. My heart was touched. Hitherto these people have had no voice. Unaccountably ignored by telemarketers and pollsters alike, it is nevertheless apparent that we have much to learn from them. They are truly America's little people, their joys and plights mirroring the country at large.
I am not an anthropologist. Nor am I experienced in making documentaries. Yet I could not help but see how much we have to learn from these amazing individuals, and so set myself about the business of bringing their stories to the world.
America, welcome to Plasticopia!

I really like the comic quote bubbles... but you know how much I love ComicLife. LOL. Hugs, Johanna (Stinker's Stuff)
Oh, cool, Johanna. I'm still kinda iffy, but think I'll go with it for awhile. Hugs back. Stephanie
I vote for dialogue bubbles. It just makes following dialogue so much easier, and I don't think it detracts at all from your photos. Keep trying it out for a bit and see if you don't warm up to it. :D
Thanks, Milk, your vote will certainly be given due consideration. It seems like the sentiment is running strongly in favor of bubbles.

I only just found your site and love it!!! I love the bubbles, however, the detail you put into the scenes is hidden and that was one of the things I loved about your scenes. For myself, I didn't have any trouble following the storyline. I love your site!
