Ultimately I did not win the Washington Post contest, but that didn’t matter. What mattered was the enthusiastic response my comic strip had received. Maybe my comic strip really WAS a good idea after all? Perhaps Hoxwinder Hall really would resonate with readers if only given a chance? The validation and confirmation from the Washington Post contest gave me the confidence to believe in myself again. I decided to revive the strip. Weeks later I launched Hoxwinder Hall as a web comic. For the first time in more than a decade, I began creating new comics and it felt grea!
