I've always loved and created comics, and last summer I began making them as a way to cope with anxiety and process the world around me. I had intended to just hide them in my sketchbooks forever, but a friend talked me into finishing some of them and sharing them online.
So a small, but extremely rewarding journey began of creating and sharing comics with the world on a weekly basis. Here are a few of my favorites from the past 6 months. I hope you enjoy them.

i remind myself of this everytime i feel like someone is trying to hold me down.
That was definitely me, as a small child. This happened when I was about four: my mother was talking to a neighbor next door and, when there was a break in the conversation, I asked both of them, "If angels are dead people, why were there angels with God before He created everything, including people?" The neighbor, Mrs. Jenkins, slowly backed away into her own apartment and my mother looked at me with her mouth open. Later, she told my father about it. I think that was when they decided I needed to go to private school when I turned school-aged. Sidenote: I understand, now, that angels are not dead people; they are a different and separate order of being than humans. But, in my defense, the pictures in children's Bibles, which is what generated the question in my mind, are often VERY misleading, theologically speaking. Mine had happy little angels surrounding God when He created the world and I was like, "Wait a minute..."
OK, that made me wanna go and munch-munch-munch myself into happiness
Many of those are very relatable, and the drawings are absolutely beautiful.
