“I joke with my friends that she’s a 71-year-old hipster,” says Alicia Eler, the 26-year-old social media consultant who runs Hollander’s blog. “She is actually cooler than any 20- or 30-something hipsters I know because she is the original hipster — someone who is truly doing her own thing, and speaking her mind.”
Hollander was wary when she met Eler. Facebook? Twitter? No way. And she wasn’t sure how blogs worked.
“I was kind of cutting to her,” Hollander said. “She was patient with me.”
They have a routine now. Hollander sends Eler something for the blog — an essay or a drawing — by 6 p.m. on most days. Eler edits and posts it the next morning around 9. They also post old strips, along with the current ones still syndicated by Tribune Media Services to other newspapers.”
