Rina Piccolo launches webcomic “Velia, Dear”

1 minute 9 comments

Rina Piccolo, creator of Tina’s Groove and one of the Six Chix, has launched a tri-weekly webcomic entitled, “Velia, Dear.” The comic launched today and is about a young woman named Velia who leaves the inner city to take care of her aging Italian mother.

Regarding the new strip (and why she’s launching a web comic) Rina writes on the Velia blog:

It all started about a year ago when I was struck by the idea of how much creative freedom an on-line, self-published comic strip could afford me. Not to mention how much fun I could have with it.

While I continue to love the world of the newspaper comics page, I just feel I have so much more to give, and ? I gotta tell you ? the independence of an on-line strip, with its liberties and lack of censorship, sounds like a hat I want to try on right now, just for laughs.
