Oh god this is so good! Lately I have been talking so much I can see my husband cringing and backing away. I know I need more community (& also a better job) but nothing feels … there.

Also this is making me overthink the one time I think we’ve ever hung out irl which was at a forever midnight party where I drank 1-2 glasses of wine for the first time in years and somehow decided you and michael Conrad should both be my close personal friends. Sorry!!

I had fun with you and Michael Conrad at that party!

Oh yes x 1000. Banding together, even if only virtually, is how we get through these interesting times. I find the disconnect between my day job of making reassuring picture books for small children and the burning world beyond the studio windows is mediated by drawing cartoons for big people. Basically, comics are keeping me grounded atm. Love what you’re doing here❤️

This genre of "diary comics" is new to me but I'm loving it! I can't remember how I found you here but I'm glad I did.
