Look Back

Personal anecdote, sorry. I wrote and illustrated my first comic at 18 and- to my utter 21-year old self’s chagrin- showed it to a lot of people. Cuz I was in it for the glory. I mean, I really wanted to tell a story and put that story on paper, but I also wanted people to tell me how awesome I was. I sucked. And in many ways I still do. My blood runs cold when I think about friends and family lying about how good it was, truly vile. (Funnily enough, it was reading Look Back that motivated me to finish my comic). God, they were definitely lying. But it’ll get better. It’s tedious but I’ll get better. And one of these days you just need to stop focusing on releasing something perfect and come out of that room. Comics aren’t meant to be enjoyed alone.
