Cella's Comic(al) Journaling

Every so often, Cella will capture a moment in her life in a loosely-drawn comic. While this collection of doodles may not be up to her high standard of illustration, it is her cathartic way of keeping a good sense of humor when things go wrong. Sometimes life doesn’t make sense and that’s okay!

Applying for jobs.
