Things wordy, geeky, and webbyCapturing the Freelance Life in Pajama Diaries
Monday, September 15th, 2008 at 11:30 AM |I love Terri Libenson’s The Pajama Diaries. My mom saves them for me since my local newspaper doesn’t carry the comic strip (I submitted a request for it). The strip revolves around freelancer Jill Kaplan, a mother and Jewish woman. That’s me. AND my maiden name is Kaplan. The following strip captures a day in the life of a freelancer except add PTA and volunteer work in there.
Jill is an graphic designer, but most of the time the strip focuses on the fact she’s a freelancer working in an home office. Here you can see more examples. I would love to see the series come out in book form like Baby Blues, which I also love. I relate to the Pajama Diaries more from a career and balance work and home-life perspective. Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott do a lovely job capturing parenthood and children in Baby Blues.

Ha, perfect!
The only comment I have is that she actually gets a few hours in a row to work uninterrupted… Other than that, pretty realistic!

@Graham HA! Agreed. Yeah, what’s the longest we go uninterrupted? 73 minutes?
Cute comic strip!
