Boredom Pays

Sadness for Numbness

This is the last comic for the seventh issue of Boredom Pays (debuting at TCAF!). It’s a little out of context here, as it has been designed as a double page spread and fits in between various short comics that (hopefully, intentionally) string together a larger narrative when read in their intended sequence.

This is also the last autobio strip I’m going to be doing for a while. I know I’ve said that before, but I really feel like I’ve gotten much of what I needed to out of my system with this last issue of Boredom Pays. I’m really proud of it, I think it at least sort of touches on what I was going for.

It’s time to move onto something different <3

This is a sketchbook I’ve been carrying around with me for the past year. It’s strange, I’ve taken it basically everywhere with me in that time and have become somewhat attached to it. I use this sketchbook less as a book to draw in as much as I use it to write, journal and document my life in. When I look through these pages I can remember exactly where I was, exactly what I was feeling, exactly what I was going through while filling them out. This, more than my actual finished autobiographical comics, is a document of my life. It’s incredibly comforting to have around.

Tonight, I’m going to fill in the last couple of pages. Tomorrow I’m going to start a new sketchbook.

I’ll miss these pages.
