[edit] Return to Sender
Return to Sender is an unfinished webcomic by cartoonist Brosgol. Vera started the comic in 2002 when she was 16 years old and in high school. In 2005, however, her school work took first priority and she abandoned the project. On August 24th, 2007, she made a news update on her old site, on which the comic was posted, explaining the sudden stop. In 2005, Sender was named one of the 24 best webcomics of 2004 by The Webcomics Examiner.
