Stressed Ball
on July 7, 2015
Truth be told, I’ve always wondered what was inside a stress ball… turns out it’s disgusting. Another mystery solved!
The Void
on July 2, 2015
This is another journal comic excerpt, this one dates back to January but it’s a feeling I’ve felt a lot over the last several years of posting webcomics (and printing comics in general). As an independent publisher and creator, sometimes making comics feels an awful lot like yelling into the void. I don’t know, I’m pretty sure I was depressed when I made this comic. It’s been a hectic and stressful year thus far.
I guess it comes down to this, the void can feel lonely sometimes but, it’s filled with possibilities too.
Tighten Up
on June 30, 2015
Context:
A conversation very similar to this took place at a Black Keys concert. We had been dating for about 3 months. Marriage had never been brought up, this was just me talking about an irrational fear I had.
A few short weeks later I told this girl I loved her, which I NEVER say so early. But I did… love her. She had to go back to school in Florida in September. We tried to make it work, me promising we would see each other at least once a month. It ended almost exactly how you see here.
So This is Aging
on June 27, 2015
Getting old is weird… hair just keeps growing and growing.
In other news, unrelated to this comic, today I’m getting married the woman of my dreams! A lot of big life changing events have been happening this year, it’s pretty exciting. I’ll be continuing to post journal comics for the next few weeks as Amy and I go off on our honeymoon. Hope you’re enjoying them.
Catnip Is A Helluva Drug
on June 25, 2015
I’ve recently started giving my cats fresh catnip from the garden. While Dany couldn’t care less, Jorah goes ba-zonkers for it, rubbing it all over his face and licking it. I just imagine him sitting in a little cat beanbag chair listening to Iron Butterfly’s “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida”.
Wedding Racket
on June 23, 2015
So for those of you who don’t know, I’m getting married. In fact, I’m getting married really soon which is why I’ve started posting these excerpts from my journal because wedding planning and getting everything ready has started to consume much of my free time as of late. Which brings me to my next point, weddings are a racket. Ever since Amy and I started planning our wedding it seems like every one has tried to bleed ever dime they can from us. This comic illustrates one such experience but, there have been many more through this process.
It’s time to face facts, weddings are big business.
Feeling Vacant
on June 18, 2015
This excerpt from my journal was made back in February. Around this time I had just bought my first house with my fiance and was in the heart of wedding planning. Needless to say, I was stressed and burning myself out. I’ve always found drawing comics to be a very meditative and relaxing act and, truth be told, I remember feeling better once I got these feelings down on paper.
It’s always important to take a breath every once in a while.
Living the Dream
