The Stories Behind the Laughter

For people who like their humor with a little truth tucked inside it, my Substack, simply called Tamara Bissell, may be just your kind of place.

It is home to the observations, comics, creative experiments, and small-business lessons that do not quite belong on a product page, but are still very much part of the work.

I write about Pithitude, Donna Lake Comic, creativity, workplace absurdity, communication, putting yourself out there, human behavior, and the complicated systems we keep building for ourselves.

You will find From Donna’s Desk posts, short Behind the Bird videos, glimpses of new projects, and occasional reports from the front lines of running a creative business.

You can read along for free and have new posts delivered directly to your inbox.
