I admit, I've been silently cursing Lucy Knisley for going so long without updating her webcomic. I realize my impatience isn't fair; Knisley's dealing with a rough breakup and a consequential move, but I need my brain crack, dammit.

Earlier this week, it finally occurred to me to scoot on over to Knisley's LiveJournal to see if she'd left any breadcrumbs there. To my surprise and delight, I saw that not only has Knisley been busy cartooning, she's got a 25-page comic available for digital download. Score!

 "Salvaged Parts" is a set of short pieces about Knisley's recent upheaval centered around a handful of objects -- a bedframe, a bicycle, a skateboard, and an unusual family heirloom. It's a neat complement to the essays at Stop Paying Attention, and at $2, it's well worth the price if you've been jonesing for more Knisley.
