July-August 2008
Rebecca cruises an Olympic swimmer, but can't get up the nerve to go in the deep end. Cannonball!

Standing tall in the teeming crowd of lesbian comic strips...

It’s the cartoon for the cranky urban girl in all of us!

Bitter Girl began as angry, needy doodles in the margins of a journal during an ill-fated love affair. It first ran as a full-length comic in Minneapolis' late, lamented FocusPoint in 1998.

The strip has been exclusively distributed by Q Syndicate since 2001.
