Cat Naps (take 2)

So, I redrew that “Cat Naps” comic from a few months ago. I mainly redrew it because I wanted to include it in the next issue of Boredom Pays but kind of hated how the original looked.

Please love me

So hey, just a reminder, I've still got a Tumblr account. I post a bunch of drawings, pictures and tidbits as well as a bunch of music recommendations. Check it out, if you feel inclined

In The Desperate Search For Meaning

This comic stems from this really awful conversation I had a few months ago. Someone asked me what is meaningful to me and I couldn't for the life of me come up with an answer. When you stop being able to find meaning in anything it's hard to find much of a point, either, and that's really no way to live. It's incredibly self destructive. So, this is me asking questions. This is me moving past that.

The HORRIBLE REALITY of online "dating"

Yes, folks, it’s true. I have stooped to new lows in trying to find contentment and completion. Rather than looking inside of myself to find the self-respect required to love myself I have once again started looking outward, to the seediest corners of the internet, in hopes of finding someone to do that for me. That’s right. I have been using Ok cupid.

I kind of hate it though.

I just re-watched this great film, Before Sunrise (Which you can view in its entirety here conveniently enough), which kind of completely blew the top off of me wanting to ever meet anyone through the Internet in such a contrived. Impersonal way. Watching this film was like re-living the intensity, awkwardness and spontaneity of getting to know someone in a real, tangible and gradual way. I want to feel that again. I needed that reminder. So, I highly recommend it.

Seriously? What the heck. Such a beautiful, smart and passionate person. His death kind of proves that the world is a horrible and scary place, no? Well, aside from everything else that proves that the world is a horrible and scary place, anyway. Still. Goddamn.

Extreme thrift store adventure comix

Choose your own adventure books aren’t nearly as fun as I remembered them being.

There is no authority but yourself

This comic comes from a weird combination of depression, drugs, loneliness and listening to far too much Crass. This was a pretty big realization for me, really <3

Conversations about girls

This is kind of an ugly comic. Kind of silly, too. Whatever. Probably won’t be posting all that much for the next couple of weeks. Bought a one way ticket back home without any clear idea of when I’m coming back. Part of me hopes I never make it. In any case I’ll probably have some new comics to post whenever. I don’t know.

This is every single morning

This is every single morning except, of course, weekends. It’s funny, I got so used to getting a lot of mail by doing trades and ordering people’s zines for a while that it feels weird not to get much anymore. Basically I’m just too poor at the moment to pour a lot of money into it (I haven’t even put Boredom Pays #4 up for sale yet because I can’t really even afford the printing. If I want to, you know, eat).

Once my life is a little more stable I’ll have to kick this back into high gear!
