I’ve gotten a tiny little taste of semi-fame and I’ll tell you what, I’d pretty much like some more.
Adam and I went to dinner and a movie last night downtown after my salon visit (it’s always a shame to waste super awesome hair by just going straight home – though I’m not sure a dark movie theater is really the place to be showing off awesome locks). Anyway, we went to my new favorite place, which I’ve talked about before, Urban Lobster. As we’re walking inside, Adam grabs me and says, “Oh my god – Kelly look.” And sure enough, taped up in the window with some of their recent reviews, is Rabid Lamb Comic #70 in which I proclaimed my love for Urban Lobster. Hilarious and awesome.
We had our, as usual, delicious meal, and upon leaving we saw the strip and blurb I wrote about Urban posted up on an exterior wall as well. It was pretty much awesome. I took a picture of the ad in the window with my phone, it’s pretty tiny and crappy since it was taken on a phone, but check it out below.
Adam asked me if I had any regrets about the comic now that it was posted up on a public wall, and I said yes, for sure, I wished I’d drawn it better as I particularly hate panel one (panel two I actually love and three and four are passable, though the text is a bit wonky) but this is actually a bit of a conundrum. I know I can draw better than what I crank out for Rabid Lamb, but I’m just too busy and posting daily is just too fast and intense for me to put in the necessary time to get everything drawn at a level I’d be more happy with. I don’t know, I’m going to have to think about it. Anyone have any thoughts?
Sidenote: I’ve decided that should I ever be on Death Row, my last meal request will be “Lobster Bisque, Lobster Roll and Mashed Potatoes from Urban Lobster”…It’s definitely carb heavy, but it’s my last meal…might as well live it up right?

Way cool! Did you stop and ask for some free lobster if you gave them an autograph?
-
TK42ONE: Adam did tell them after we’d paid that it was my cartoon. The guy freaked out and was so happy. He said his wife had been wanting to get in touch with me, and that she loves my strip, and would I leave my number, so I did. He also gave me a free dessert.
It was pretty great. -
Sweet! Wish I was famous enough to get free swag. I have to resort to begging or associating myself indirectly with famous people like you!
-
SEMI-famous 😉
-
Hee, totally excellent! You enjoy that seafood!
-
Thank God it wasn’t Olive Garden or something.
Today Urban Lobster. Tomorrow the world!!
Congrats. *clicks claws together*
-
Yea! That is SO COOL! I was going to ask if you told them who you are and if you got anything free, but that has already been taken care of. Kelly this is so cool!
-
Paul: It IS nice to finally be rewarded for my love of seafood. Yay!
Holly: *clicks claws together* – what a perfect image. Love it.
Becky: It’s pretty awesome huh? Makes me really take stock of how excited and proud you must be to be particpating in the great shows you’ve been doing. This isn’t a tenth as cool as that, so it must feel even ten times more awesome…
-
Ha. Thats very cool Kelly. Was there debate over when to tell someone that was your comic?
And Urban Lobster is a cool name for a lobster place in an urban area.
-
Mike: Thanks. I was pretty hesitant to tell them it was mine…but I was glad Adam did it. I was also glad we waited until we’d paid. While I certainly would never turn down a free lobster roll, I didn’t want anyone feeling pressured to give me free stuff…
Urban Lobster is a great name.
