Not really a laugh riot this week. Thanks for being patient (especially you, cbobgo). It’s pretty bad when you feel too shitty to make comics about how shitty you feel. I have a huge backlog of ideas but I wanted to do the one that would be everyone’s new favorite and then realized none of them will be and that I had just wasted time. So I decided I’m just going to make them – shitty or not. So here’s one sure to disappoint but I like Allison’s haircut.
Your comic is like Tom Waits music. It makes me feel good about feeling bad.
Love this comic.
And as for your post, I have yet to see a shitty comic from you. Can’t wait to see whats coming man. Don’t let the bastards get you down.
Loved it! I don’t see why a comic should always be about laughs, it should be whatever the fuck you want it to be, so stick to your guns!
You know, I am having a “complex emotional situation” right now, and this comic is… well…
It reached me out (can’t explain it very well, hope I can later)
Maybe people come here and want to _feel_ your comics for just the reasons you DON’T know. So don’t worry about “others” and “favorites”. You do, we come.
+1 to all the commenters before me.
take care, and _thankyou_
Yeah I really hate days/nights like that…hell who am I kidding? I have whole months that feel like that.
My new favorite!
As far as I’m concerned, you should ALWAYS be making the comics that you want, regardless of what other people want. This is, after all, your strip. I mean, if you’re openly asking people what they would like to see next, that’s one thing, but if you’ve got a ton of ideas you want to get down and they don’t happen to coincide with what you think people want, too bad for them. Your comic, man. 🙂
Going through a bout of depression right now myself, so this one was like an old familiar friend. Just a friend that you hate. 🙂
Keep writing and drawing!
cheers,
Phil
I think i just had the same week you did.
I also like Allison’s haircut.
Also, I haven’t read any other web comic like yours, and enjoy it unlike any other web comic because of it. I see no reason why you should be so concerned with pleasing the audience. I assure you, your comics are not shitty, not at all.
Wow! Thanks everyone! You guys are the best! You guys really help me to have the courage to trust myself a little more. Thanks so much!! More comics are on the way!
we’re all human beings and we’re bound to feel a diverse range of emotions. no matter what you may publish, people would definitely be able to connect with what you have to offer in various ways. i’d be lying to you if i didn’t say that I decided to see if you have any hilarious updates that i could catch up with to cheer myself up from my shitty mood, instead i found myself connecting in an even deeper manner. love the strip!
p.s. totally agree with Phil! your life, your choices, your comics!
be proud of what you have to offer regardless!
I like your comics enough to ask do you have a contribution button? Such joy, such anxious fretfulness deserves support.
sorry I didn’t catch this update sooner.
You know someone is really talented when the stuff they make that they don’t like is still better than most of the other stuff that’s out there.
Keep making the comics, and we’ll keep reading them 🙂
Same week, it’s possible we may be having the same life.
