Allison’s back. I need to get more of these done – they’re taking up space in my head but they’re a little harder to do. The creative process feels like a form of obessive/compulsive disorder sometimes: I have these recurring thoughts and stories that I feel “need” to come out and then I fret and work to get it “just right” so I get that feeling of satisfaction but am I saying anything? Anything worth while? When I’m done have I done anything or have I just touched a doorknob fifteen times? Either way I feel worse not making comics than making comics.
Girls who smoke to be accepted are the worst type of girls, but they are often also beautiful. Beautiful girls are the best type of girls.
the moral of the story is smoking is cool
Good question and good analogy, and of course you’ve done something more – nobody enjoys watching you touch a doorknob fifteen times, but we’ll read this willingly and gladly. Being an artist is the best form of OCD.
Make comics mister! They make me feel better, and that’s the important thing.
i would say that what is considered ‘worth while’ is relative. If worth while is simply that you create something and have fun during the process, then, isn’t that more important than whatever you give out to the audience? i for one love both your style, and equally your writing.
Thanks, guys. I do have fun making comics. I just have more fun when it feels like I’m not making garbage. I just want them to be good. Thanks for reading and thanks for the encouraging words.
Isn’t that the point though? Simply to make the ideal real? Either way, it gets out a little more until you can feel satisfied.
