A Surprise on Comics Shop Day

dewlineToday's the day when the books get delivered to the local shops. I got some good reading, which I'll talk about in another post.
Something else I discovered today in the wake of following up on the Gemini Award nominations for This is Wonderland: Seems one of the performers in that show has gotten herself a serialized bio-comic.
The lady's name is Siu Ta. She played junior attorney Nancy Dao on the show, and that character was a classic. Nancy Survived (capitalization intended) everything from the refugee boats from Asia to Ontario's law school system, and all those experiences left her with no patience for suffering anyone she perceived as being foolish with anything remotely resembling gladness. Nancy would regularly steal scenes where her character was involved. I sometimes wonder if she'll end up a New Conservative or go Libertarian as she gets older.
Before and since TIW, Siu's divided her professional time between acting and producing her own indy film work. I still hold out hope for that series' revival, especially given that Gemini Award nomination news, but in the meantime, there's this: a serialized bio-comic, available at her website. Drawn by no less than Dave Sim.
Yes, that Dave Sim. The one who drew the Aardvark of legend.
Sometimes life surprises me. Today was one such day.
