I was laid off in August 2019. I was sad. Very sad. so I began to write these comics—one after the other. They helped me shine a light on how I was feeling and turn a shitty situation into something productive. For the next year, I wrote one comic every day, looking at sadness as an opportunity rather than an infliction.

Granted, I did not expect things to get even sadder—2020 provided me with endless material... but damn, was it sad.

When I reached day 365, I took a break. I was not sure if I would continue, but eventually, I decided to expand the theme to encompass all of the thoughts, feelings, hopes, and dreams that I experience on a daily basis.

You can follow me on Instagram or buy the book "Oh boy I am sad," which includes the first 365 days (and then some) on Amazon.

In the best-case scenario, they help someone feel better. In the worst-case scenario, they help me feel better.

Much love,

Josh.

    Rioting and destroying people's lives isn't positive change, its destruction

    Black lives matter shouldn't be a political statement, it's just a fact.

    okay the thing is, we know they matter. But why are we looking specifically on race? Why are we killing and fighting each other over race? I have black friends and all white, black, Asian, polish, German, Italian, etc. have the same rights as everybody else. No one else is more special because of their race or where they came from. White and black people are one. When I look into a crowd of people, white and black, I see not strangers, no one more special than the other, friend I haven't met yet and God's always growing family.

    Because liberalism and BLM shows you care about other people, John Ford. Equal rights for others does not mean fewer rights for you, John Ford - it's not pie...

    I may get down voted, but..... dont worry about the big stuff. It's a tub of warm water that makes you feel better. That's all that really matters. Yes, you should enjoy the small things that make you feel better. "Whatever gets you through the night" John Lennon

    Dead people always are the luckiest ones because they do not feel the horrible pain of living anymore.

    This can be so discouraging when you try to make a positive change and then "as usual" it all goes so wrong. Just makes you want to give up and hide. Sure, but not for too long, or you'll get comfortable with it. "No matter how many times I get knocked down I will get up again. I will never quit" Navy Seal Ethos
