Meet Sam. Sam stands for Socially Awkward Misfit, the name of my webcomic that is loosely based on my own life. Here are some comic strips I've made about the struggles with social anxiety.

Socially Awkward Misfit is drawn from my own experiences in life, such as struggling with social anxiety, and issues relating to introversion and being socially awkward.

I've been creating comics for as long as I remember. Inspired by comics such as The Beano, Garfield, and Viz, I've been creating my own comic characters since I was a kid. I later ended up drawing a few comic strips for The Beano and Viz.

    I draw whenever I feel inspired. This tends to be in the evening or night...sometimes well into the early hours! I usually draw while listening to music or funny podcasts.

    The challenges I have had with social anxiety and depression have prevented me from being more productive, particularly when creating my animated cartoons. But I have found the more I do it, the more confident I have become.

    The most rewarding part of creating comics has been the feedback from lots of people who say they can relate to the issues in my cartoons, and it is heartwarming to hear that it has helped them to know they don't feel alone in this world.

    Brains could use some upgrading to overwrite some memories and defragmentation could be useful as well.

    That's what middle and high schools are for. What took so long? The most acceptable answer is that you were home-schooled for 12 years.
