I used to make comics all the time as a kid. As an adult, I tried making comics as an alternative source of income and somewhere along the way I ended up burning myself out: I set arbitrary rules and deadlines for myself, adding unnecessary pressure on an activity that was supposed to be fun. I ended up very anxious and cautious about the whole process that I never even got to the publishing part, worried that the quality of my work was getting worse.

I want to see how I’ll do if I don’t set myself any rules: no post schedules, no fixed formats, no fixed style, even. Just draw whatever comes to mind. No need to make the new strip better than the last one I made. Make comics as if I were a kid again. Just have fun.

This comic is for that kid who just wanted to draw and write and play. You’re doing good, kid.
