She's been making comics since she was in high school and has continued doing so throughout various science-related careers when she was supposed to be doing science. Instead, she created Friendly Hostility, The Hazards of Love, and her online journal comic, Stananigans. The Hazards of Love is heavily influenced by the ephemera of the Mexico in which Stan grew up, though she now finds herself in NYC among a lovely crew of weirdos. She lives with her spouse, a large cat, and a larger collection of bones.","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Stan Stanley \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47282392596637,"sku":"9781637154892","price":39.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_c0610128-7096-49cf-a75d-6582a31f37ad.jpg?v=1759949562","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/the-hazards-of-love-book-two-as-above-so-below-9781637154892","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
