So I’ve been directing our web series LESBROS, starring Vickie & Luis, and I love all the eps, but this one, “Our Gang” is my favorite so far. Get ready for the ’80s movie references!

It’s totally normal to have a zombie apocalypse survival plan. Everyone should. But some people take it a few steps too far. At least in this Geek Therapy ep I wrote ;-)

If you thought it was impressive that Abraham Lincoln hunted vampires, wait’ll you hear what all the other presidents were up to… Presidential Monster Hunters

Hemsworth Brothers Workout Regimen:

This came from the weird part of my brain that wondered how those Hemsworths got so hunky.

It’s no secret that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one of my favorite shows of all-time…so Luis and I had a blast writing a few Buffy-inspired bad pickup lines! This one is an actual Anya quote, lol, but more original ones here: Buffy Pick-up Lines

Enjoy!

I am a huge Walking Dead fan — I’ve read all the graphic novels & watched all the episodes (they’re wildly different, btw!) so naturally when it came time to write some zombietastic pick-up lines, Luis and I were ravenous! Enjoy! Walking Dead Pick-up Lines

If you haven’t checked out BAMF Girls Club yet, please do. It’s Comediva’s awesome girl power series that imagines what it would be like if Katniss, Hermione, Lisbeth, Buffy, Michonne…and Bella? all lived together in one house. I co-wrote this ep with Emily McGregor (also our director) that involves spilling some of the girls’ “secrets.” Enjoy!

So Luis and I watch way more reality TV than we should…and we were cracking up at how each reality competition show tries to be more extreme than the last…so we decided to make them EVEN MORE EXTREME in this article, Extreme Reality Shows: Extreme Edition…lovers of reality TV, enjoy, lol!

KNOPE 2012! And I’m not talking about Pawnee City Council, I’m talking WHITE HOUSE, baby! One of my favorite shows, Parks & Recreation, came back this week, so I imagined what Leslie Knope’s Presidential Cabinet might look like, (with other characters from the show, natch!) Enjoy!

The Squirrel Games! Consider this my addition to The Hunger Games fanaticism. I’m reading Book 2 right now, and so far there’s been so much mention of killing squirrels, that I had to think the squirrels would rebel. So I created this comic…check it out!

Wed, 14 Mar 2012 13:21:02 -0700

It’s Comediva’s birthday today! It’s officially been one year since we launched Comediva.com, a destination for female-driven comedy, and my, oh my, what a year it’s been. Really.

I can’t say enough how grateful I am for all the wonderful people surrounding me who have made this possible. And knowing what a long journey we still have ahead to grow this site and fulfill all our dreams of what it could be, I know that I must continue to be grateful, courageous, and empowering to everyone around me.

There have been moments in this strenuous journey into my new life as a creative entrepreneur that I’ve felt the weight of the world on my shoulders, and in those moments, I tend to feel very alone. But I must continually remind myself how I’m not alone — how I’m actually surrounded by talented, smart, beautiful, funny people who want to make things better, every day. They believe in the idea that we can be better — we can be better people, better creatives, and a better company.

We’ll never stop reaching for the stars.

Love,
Erika

In honor of Comediva’s Birthday tomorrow, I made a Top 11 list of my favorite items of the last year. This was not easy, especially with so many gems like the Canadian Bacon above floating around our site’s archives. ;-)
