One of life's great skills is knowing when (and how) to let go and leave bad things behind us
We spoke with the artist and asked what inspired him to start creating his heartwarming comic series. The cartoonist shared with us: “I originally wanted to express my thoughts on being an introvert, but as time went on, I had fallen into a deep depression for some time. I realized the comics became an outlet for me during this time.”
When asked about the recurring themes in his comics, Marengo said: “I think about the past a lot. I base many comics off of real-life experiences.”
Next, we were curious about how Lambert approaches character design and what considerations he takes into account when creating characters for a new cartoon. The artist explained: “I tried to create a character that was a little dull in color and that didn’t stand out too much to reflect how I was feeling at the time. Luckily, it seems that some people have grown to like this little sheep despite that.”
Lastly, we wanted to find out what message or emotion the cartoonist hopes readers take away from his comics. The author of the series responded briefly: “You are not alone.”
I do sometimes feel like a rechargeable battery that has started to have serious charge memory issues.
Awww, but mothers, remember mothers's day is about YOU, not your kids.
I wish I had people who were there for me. I actually created a group, specifically for people to have a place to connect and belong. Yet the last two times I went to said group because I was having some serious problems, I was dismissed and then immediately ignored. Everyone expects me to be there for them, but why I need them? I look around and everyone has their head bowed pretending they aren't there. Sometimes quite literally.
“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” ― C.S. Lewis
Your kids are learning from you, especially when you don't expect them to
I've learned that if I complain "too much," (especially about the weather), Karma will come hunt me down IMMEDIATELY 😂😂.
Motivation is like inspiration - you have to grab it before it passes you by
