I can’t remember when the idea that gods would need a costume box came to me. Probably somewhere around the time that I realized that I thought of Hell as being a giant sound stage. Regardless, it made a lot of sense, on a number of levels. It was a sort of private joke, though, and I was very gratified when a LOT of people thought it was funny. I was also surprised and delighted when I found out, during a tour of the beautiful schooner Adventuress, that THEY have a costume box on board. I wasn’t aware of that when I drew these panels, as I’d only been able to see the public areas of Adventuress previously (my husband and I finally were able to join the crew for a several day excursion), but it cemented my feeling that Adventuress is also a great inspiration for Lacrymer.

Molly Demeter Sokolow Hayden (or Modemeter, for obvious reasons of length) grew up surrounded by her father’s comic book collection, sometimes literally. She fell in love with Will Eisner’s Spirit at an inappropriately young age and wishes she could draw like Jaime Hernandez. She lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband, her daughter, and her cat, and sneaks down to her drawing table whenever she can.
