About

I starting writing it in December of 2015, and here we are in April 2025. I decided to put it online since it was just sitting in a box for the last while. It all started after I read "What It Is" by Lynda Barry. I decided that I love comics so much, why not start drawing one.

Most of the first several pages were written while I was between the ages of 23-27, fresh out of college, and having a hard time.

When talking to other people, I often would call this my "Big Dumb Comic." They usually would laugh and go "No, why do you call it dumb?"

I called it dumb because I don't think it was what people imagined when you said you were writing and drawing a comic. They had an idea of what "art" would look like.

And I think what I Was drawing maybe wouldn't be art to a lot of people. But it was art to me! I had a fucking blast makign this thing. Even reading back through it before posting it here on this website, I kept laughing. This was made mostly for myself, and maybe that was the post all along.

some background to how these parts are working, which I think helps explain them some. When I was a freshman in college, I went to therapy for the first time. There, my therapist read through some sections of the DSM. Each one had a series of questions we'd go through. We only looked at the questions, and then once we looked at one where I had something with 5 or 6 answers, we talked about a "diagnosis." Though, we stopped short of that. Once we talked about MAYBE what was happening, I was told to pivot to Group Therapy to continue.
